2006 Florida State Seminoles football team
Thanks. Your help re:2006 Florida State Seminoles football team is greatly appreciated. You brought up valid points regarding the Wide Right article, and the current edit looks good. In order to convey the thrust of the controversy, I just added that Miami was ranked higher in both human polls (like the USC controversy in '03), so now it reads:

Controversy erupted later in the season when the Seminoles were ranked higher by the BCS and picked to play in the Orange Bowl against the University of Oklahoma for the national championship despite Miami being ranked higher in both human polls.

I think that does the job. Thanks again for your help with the 06 Seminoles.-PassionoftheDamon 19:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

FSU Article
1. I've changed it back to 'Florida State Seminoles' per WikiProject CFB conventions. 'University of' and/or 'X University' is dropped for the purposes of these articles (i.e. Notre Dame is 2006 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team, Oklahoma is 2006 Oklahoma Sooners football team, USC is 2006 USC Trojans football team, etc.). In this case, it is not only not in conformity to use the 'University' within the name of the article's subjecct, it is also redundant since it says: "The 2006 Florida State Seminoles will represent Florida State University during the 2006 college football season."

2. Contrary to your belief, vertical pass (also sometimes referred to as the vertical stretch or four vertical) is an offensive scheme, and I've provided a link to that effect on the article's talk page. 

This is the offense FSU has employed under Jeff Bowden, utilizing shotgun and three and four wide sets with an emphasis on the deep passing game to perimeter receivers. This is why Greg Carr averages 20+ ypc. The Sporting News and MSNBC links are actually one-in-the-same, as MSNBC contracts w/ Sporting News to provide it with its scouting reports.

The problem here stems from the Sporting News using the wrong terminology in its scouting reports. It describes FSU's offensive scheme as "Pro Set" when in reality the Pro Set is a formation, not a scheme (2 WR, 1 TE, HB and FB line up next to each other behind the line). I think you are confusing this with a Pro Style offense. The vertical pass is a variant of a pro style offense, so while it would be accurate to say that FSU runs a pro style offense, it would not be to say that they run out of the pro set, as they seldom utilize that formation (few teams do anymore). FSU's base offensive formation is single back, three wide, one tight end.

If you want to change it from vertical pass to pro style, that's fine since the vertical pass is a type of pro style offense. But to label it a pro set offense is a misuse of terminology. Hope that helps!-PassionoftheDamon 02:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The first time you changed the link it actually said "Florida State University Seminoles" in the article. That's why I objected.  It's fine now. On another note, do you by any chance have an image for the FSU helmet?  I'd love to get an image of the helmet into the article, but I've been unable to find one online.  I've only found pictures of actual helmets, which I think would look silly.-PassionoftheDamon 23:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I said "pro style" was okay, not pro set. I've changed it to pro style. Again, the pro set is a FORMATION, not an offensive scheme.-PassionoftheDamon 04:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Florida State Seminoles football team and Pro Set
Hi AriGold, this is in response to the message you left on my talk page. I performed my own cursory research on the web and found references to "Pro Set" as a formation and also "Pro Set" as a scheme. I think you should update the article Pro Set to address this apparent dual meaning and cite some appropriate references. I would also recommend linking "Pro Set" in the info box of the 2006 Florida State Seminoles football team article to the Pro Set article. If the other editor is not able to provide verifiable sources for his information, it does not belong in Wikipedia. I will ask him if he is able to provide sources. I hope this helps. Regards, Accurizer 22:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the NCAA rules say that those games count, however there sould be a note in the page. If Mr. Paterno has the information on his page, i'm sure any good Mr. Bowden fan wouldn't mind the information as well. Furthermore, the changes aren't vandalism, they are just an effort of trying to inform the public about all information regarding Mr. Bowden. If you are so afraid of this, I think you may need to take a look at your priorities.

Phi Delta Theta chapters
I don't agree with the constant inclusion of individual chapter histories either. I am strongly against any chapter of any fraternity having an article because Wiki is not some kind of web space provider. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything I can do about it. I've been successful before in having chapter articles deleted but unsuccessful in other occasions. In these other occasions, the chapter in question was a "local" chapter. National fraternties with chapters always get deleted but local chapters always stick around like Alpha Chi Alpha and the The William Penn Society. Looking at this Tryon Coterie, the article falls in the gray area. If it were up to me I'd have it deleted but if it were nominated for deletion, it would more than likely be kept because it has local history before it even became a Phi Delt chapter. I just hope people don't get the idea that it'll be okay to have individual chapters up. This is just a rare case. -- † Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 16:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SIJINX.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SIJINX.jpg. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as or , 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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. Yamla 19:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use problem with Image:Zevon.jpg
I notice you uploaded the image Image:Zevon.jpg with the db-badfairuse fair use image tag. However, it appears that this tag is totally unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:Zevon.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:Zevon.jpg can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the db-badfairuse tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can reupload it but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Teemu08 05:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:SILavar.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SILavar.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Ytny (talk) 02:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Uniforms
The way it's done on the FSU page is the way it's done on every single other college football team page that has the uniform images. I understand that you're trying to make sure FSU's pages are well-taken care of, and believe me, I appreciate the effort since the Noles are my #2 team behind Arizona, but we're aiming for uniformity here. The help is very much appreciated but it's unnecessary. --Kevin W. 20:16, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Fair use issues with Kelly Monaco image
Hi. There is a fair use argument being brought to bear against an image of Kelly Monaco. I'm contacting you because you were actively involved in debating Monaco's image use back in 2005. The image has been in use on Sam_McCall since I believe 2005. The image was flagged when I attempted to link the same picture to the article Kelly_Monaco last night, which had no picture at that time, but has had a number of different pictures including the Sam McCall image since before 2005. See here for more info: Talk:Kelly_Monaco Talk:Sam_McCall and Talk:Kelly_Monaco

I have had no involvement with the page or with the images since last night, so I would appreciate any input you might have on the issue. Thanks Jay Dubya (talk) 17:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
