[edit] Swindle in the Swamp

This section has been the target of numerous attempts at vandalism. I have corrected the issue and added a citation. Hopefully this will resolve the issue and we remember that this is an encyclopedia and not a depot for smack talk. 65.34.81.185 (talk) 10:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Concur. The article must match the reputable sources, not what your brother-in-law who claims to have been there told you. "Questionable calls" is fair compromise wording, imo, especially since most Gator fans would use far stronger negative terms to describe that game. Zeng8r (talk) 14:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Consolidation

All of the notable games I deleted and either added into their appropiate section or if the description already existed and was better I just deleted the.

[edit] Use of logos (nonfree images)

The university logos are trademarked and copyrighted. However, no rationale is provided for their use.

In line with a similar usage discussion at The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, I'm soliciting from editors here a rationale of why the logos should stay. This and WLOCP are the only article I see with the logos presented thusly. (IMO, it's also a cumbersome and unattractive presentation, but that's not the issue at hand.) Similarly in line with discussion there, I personally will not delete the logos for 24 hours, though I will not stand in the way of other editors removing the logos. After 24 hours, I will delete them under the WP:NONFREE guidelines which require a usage rationale, if they have not been provided. —C.Fred (talk) 12:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-neutral point of view + only one reference = an article in need of work

This article is suffering from a lack of sources and, more importantly, a serious issue with bias; some sections are wildly pro-UF, others just as wildly pro-FSU. There are plenty of sports forums on the internet for Gator-Nole smack, but wikipedia is not one of them.

I'll work on the problems little by little, and hopefully other good faith editors with knowledge of this rivalry will chip in as well. Zeng8r (talk) 19:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


  • I've started the revisions from the top. There's a lot of redundancy between the "history" and the "memorable games" sections, so I think it'd be best to transfer any unique info over to the memorable games section and seriously condense the history section, similar to how The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party article is organized. Feel free to object or help or comment, anyone, Bueller, Bueller, etc... Zeng8r (talk) 05:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
