[edit] Name

It isn't the Future Farmers of America anymore... as such, the main article for the FFA should NOT be titled Future Farmers of America... rather, the "National FFA Organization"

Everyone still calls it Future Farmers of America, so that is the common title, I created a redirect from National FFA Organization to this page. dml 20:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

This is a good point. The page should be called National FFA Organization with a redirect from FFA and Future Farmers of America. Objections to this? Snafflekid 21:44, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I have effected the move. Snafflekid 22:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

So does FFA actualy stand for anything anymore? The artical never explained that. --Ceaser 14:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

It explains so in the "About FFA" section. FFA stands for nothing anymore. They changed from the acronym to just the letters several years ago because they thought the change would signify a broadening scope of the organization. DECA did the same thing a few years back as well. Metros232 14:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The FFA was originaly the Future Farmers of America but they changed it to the National FFA Orginization in 1988. So that means that they changed what it was called. The FFA letters i guess could technicaly mean nothing but it should still be takin as a National Orginization even though the letters ffa sstand for nothing.

[edit] Degrees

Is there enough about each of the five degrees to justify having their own articles? I think that they each merit maybe a sentence or two in the main article, but not their own articles. The articles feel like guides on how to gain them, something that's easily obtainable through the national website. Metros232 21:08, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FFA logo.jpg

Image:FFA logo.jpg 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 06:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
