I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!  RC-0722 247.5/ 1  21:29, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

LSU–Florida rivalry
Greetings, Lengrand.

I'm Dirtlawyer1, and I work primarily on subjects related to the University of Florida, the Florida Gators sports teams, and Florida alumni. I have watched with interest as you have started the new article about the LSU–Florida rivalry, and it appears to be a very good start on the topic. From my perspective, it fills one of the glaring Wikipedia holes in the Gators' football history as one of their oldest continuous rivalries. One of the typical things included in WP football rivalry articles is a list of significant games in the series, with brief summaries of the games listed. The selection of the notable games is, of course, somewhat subjective, but many stand out for both teams without too much controversy. If you wouldn't mind my help, I would love to assist with the selection of those games and the writing of the game summaries, and I come well-equipped with the standard Gators football hard-copy references which should assist in sourcing and footnoting the new material. If you take a look-see over my previous Gators-related work on WP, you will find that I am firm believer in WP's neutral point of view policy, WP:NPOV, and I work to keep the smack talk in WP college football articles to a minimum. Please feel free to respond here on your own talk page; I've placed it on my watch list.

BTW, if you ever have any questions regarding WP policy, etc., please feel free to ping me. I also invite you to become a participating member of WikiProject College Football WP:CFB. Drop by the project talk page and introduce yourself as the new LSU guy; they will be glad to hear from you. Among my go-to guys for WP:CFB questions are Jweiss11 (a Michigan alumnus) and Paul McDonald (a general college football fan); both are among the de facto leaders of the WP:CFB project.

I look forward to working with you on the LSU-Florida article and others. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
