    [edit] Shades of Orange

    I just changed the colors used on this page. Previously there had been a bright red-orange, which I replaced with a more mellow orange color; these shades are both commonly used, though the latter is used more in uniforms, signs, the stadium itself, etc. and is easier on the eyes when reading. I also changed the (bright) blue used the a more opaque royal blue. I believe the new orange is superior, but the new blue is more expiremental.--Porsche997SBS 03:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] NCAA Violations?

    I have been looking but unable to find what the specifics were for the 1984 violations, if anyone with more info on this subject could specify what they were in the article, that would be greatly appreciated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.246.60 (talk) 23:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

    For some reason, the New York Times were all over that story at the time. The articles on their online archives, but a paid subscription is required to read it. I remember there were violations that mainly involved recruiting tho NOT paying players), disregarding limits on practice time, and even sending an undercover scout to illegally watch opponents' practices. It was ugly... Zeng8r 00:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Old UF Athletics logo (stylized).png

    Image:Old UF Athletics logo (stylized).png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

    Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

    If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

    I like the addition of all the logos to show changes over time, but that section now needs some serious reformatting to cut the clutter! Zeng8r 03:04, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] Logos?

    If every logo the Gators have ever used will be in the article, someone may as well break the history section into segments by era and use the logos in each era. Right now they seem to clutter the article. WTStoffs 16:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] "current" season?

    Is it time to wrap up 2007 and make 2008 the "current" season? The section is in need of a major cleanup, but it'd be a waste of time since the 2007 season article has it all covered, anyway. Zeng8r (talk) 11:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

    The 2008 spring game has already been played, so might as well change the section to discuss 2008. --WTStoffs (talk) 16:45, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

    E2A2J cleaned this up on 16 May 2008, but it was reverted by user:Jccort. Don't know why...

    I find it odd when users talk about themselves in the 3rd person on a talk page but don't sign what they wrote, and then an anonymous IP immediately performs the very edit(s) that that user suggested.
    Anyway, I (and probably Jccort as well) don't think the section should just be deleted without condensing some info and leaving it in the article. Also, other edits were made that are also inappropriate, imo. I'll take care of it now... Zeng8r (talk) 01:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
    Sorry I upset you, Zebg8r, "Third person" was because I wanted to ID myself, but couldn't recall how to sign. Anonymous IP was because I shifted computers but forgot to log on. No conspiracy or ill intent. I DID try to condense some of what was in the article to the basic facts of the 07 season (which was by no definition "current"). IMO, less complete but "encyclopedic" content is better than poorly written, outdated opinion pieces. Remember, assume good intent and please do not bite the newcomers!

    [edit] Season-by-season records

    I just finished expanding the conference championship table into a table that lists every season's final record using this link and this link.

    I dunno how to change the colors of cells, but I'm thinking that championships should probably be highlighted rather than just asterisked, and maybe division titles should be so indicated as well. Also, I double checked all the numbers, but feel free to triple & quadruple check, just to be sure. I started to get cross-eyed after a while... Zeng8r (talk) 01:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
