Hey thanks for the invite, but I really wouldn't be able to help out because I've never been anywhere near Florida and the only thing I know about it is Joachim Noah. --DerRichter (talk) 17:13, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Florida Gators edit

The Gator website only lists 21 team national championships, but the article says 27 were won. What's up with that? This article also says Florida has won 21. BlueAg09 (Talk) 20:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

List of University of North Florida people edit

Hello, I saw that you created this new article and linked to it at University of North Florida. So as to not needlessly duplicate information, I removed the two lists (Alumni and Presidents) from the UNF article; usually similar lists are created and linked from the main article so as to cut down clutter and only list the more notable of the names. Because both lists were exactly the same, however, there is no need to list it twice. Personally, I don't believe that the list article is needed since UNF is so young and not terribly notable in terms of its affiliated individuals, but that's just my opinion. :) María (habla conmigo) 01:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use images in "list of" articles edit

Could I ask you to please stop adding fair use images to List of University of Florida people and similar articles as you did with this edit? Per WP:NFC this use isn't permitted.

Virginia Spencer Carr Page edit

Jccort - thanks for the image place holder...it looks better than just a blank.

I'm new to Wiki and was hoping maybe you could help me out... on Carr's page, in the info writer section, magnum opus isn't showing up on the saved page, but is in the info. writer section on the edit part... any ideas as to why?

Too, any idea on why a wikipedia page could be searched on yahoo as "Mary Hood wikipedia" and show up one day, but not the next?

Thanks Carsonmc (talk) 05:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

=Carr Page edit

I guess it isn't all that important, really... I thought it was part of that info. writer box... so that it would be listed under genre...

I was having the same problem on the Mary Hood page. It's listed there in the info. writer box, but isn't showing up on the actual page between genre and influences.

Carsonmc (talk) 05:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Jccort - I also noticed that Alice Walker's page has the same issue with the magnum opus being in the info writer box, but not on the actual article page. Any ideas as to why... not sure if my earlier post might mean to you, no worries. If you know how to fix it, by all means, do, or let me know how and I can.

Thanks so much. I'm still a novice.

Carsonmc (talk) 06:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

3 edits edit

Jccort, thanks for your help. But I'm confused still. Magnum opus should be a title, like "genre" or "occupation" in those sections. For example, Magnum opus in Mary Hood's writer box should reference her book "How Far She Went"... in other words, her Magnum opus (or the work of what she is most known for) is the book "How Far She Went"? Make sense?

If you go into the info. writer box where you added Magnum opus, look at the line below... | magnum_opus = How Far She Went - that line should show on the main page, but it doesn't.

Therefore, magnum opus isn't a genre they are in, but rather a title followed by a work of fiction or writing they wrote.

Carsonmc (talk) 06:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Should I remove Magnum opus from the genre sections...

Sorry to keep bothering you... I removed Magnum opus from the genre section. Sorry this is so confusing. I appreciate your help. Carsonmc (talk) 06:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest edit

Just because somebody may be a valid hypnotherapist doesn't mean that they don't have a conflict of interest when creating and editing their own article. George Bush or Barack Obama would have conflicts of interest if they were major contributors to their own articles. I'm going to put the coi tag back on the article, because it's true.

Speedy deletion of Teresa A. Dolan edit

 

A tag has been placed on Teresa A. Dolan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. GtstrickyTalk or C 03:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure she meets the guidelines at WP:BIO nor does the article meet WP:BLP. Has she been published? As a dean I would think she would have done research that has been published. I will remove the tag. Let me know if you think the article can meet the requirements. GtstrickyTalk or C 03:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Yes she has been published. --see attached. [6]
  • Looks good. Have a good one. GtstrickyTalk or C 14:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:University of Florida Division of Continuing Education edit

I'm having slight notability issues with the UF DCE. It looks like another Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Undergraduate Business Program at Cornell University. Anyways, it'd probably be best if you kept a copy of this article in your userspace in case it does get AfD. Also, the best approach would be to begin doing some in-line citations with WP:RS on this subject. Hope this helps. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 20:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

  • As I said before, your best option is to establishing notability via in-line citations from reliable third-party sources. I understand your viewpoint as well as your reasons to have an article in this division. However, you must also note colleges ("faculties" in UK) and other academic programs that had articles on Wikipedia that were AfDed. I'm not trying to nominate the article for deletion here, but it won't stop others from doing so. And to prove to you just what I'm talking about, please read what happened to the article I tried to create myself last year Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Florida Institute of Technology/College of Engineering. I would suggest you do something similar to what I did (group all of the otherwise non-notable colleges together and internally link the notable ones). Please let me know if you have any further questions. Let me make this clear, I'm not out to get you or to derail your WikiProject, just letting you know something's getting slightly "gray". I wasn't trying to single out the continuing education division either, it just caught my eye when I was looking at WP:NPP. I've been reviewing some of the other college articles you've created, and I'm afraid some of them have similar notability issues. Please see if you can establish notability of them too. I'd hate to see your hard work go to waste. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 23:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion issue edit

Hello Jccort, a page very similar to the University of Florida College of Public Health and Health Professions that you helped work on, has been tagged for deletion. The page tagged for deletion is the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article may determine the eventual fate of the the page you help build. If you are willing, please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

New Project edit

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

List of Florida State University alumni edit

Hello, again, Jccort. It would, I think, be valuable, or at least worthwhile, for you to continue the interchange we had earlier about notability and the List of Florida State University alumni. It only recently became clear to me that you had deleted an earlier discussion about notability from the article's talk page. You seem to have a proprietary feeling about the article, and are acting as guardian or gatekeeper in some way. I don't believe that it is appropriate to delete that kind of discussion from an article's talk page.

On a related point, may I ask why you edited the "notability" tag that I placed on the article? "Can potentially" means the same as "may", but just takes more words, while your apparent belief that supposed FSU alumni do not need evidence of that status is incorrect. Without an article covering the issue, anyone on the list needs references showing both notability and evidence that they attended the school. That is, after all, what the article is about. I will change it back, shortly.

Even with your close attention, I do not think it will be possible to keep the article as it now is, with many, many non-documented entries. I will certainly be happy to work with you to iron out these wrinkles, but without your input on the many entries to the list that you have made, it seems likely that many will eventually end up being deleted. That would be sad if they actually belong there.

Please do not read this as antagonistic. You are doing great work with regard to F.S.U., but some of the little details are important, too. Tim Ross (talk) 14:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
