Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at John F. Kennedy assassination. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 14:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

So far your edits have consisted of the insertion of incorrect or questionable information (always without sources) and staright-up vandalism (blaming the Federal Reserve Board for Kennedy's assassination). If you keep it up you will find yourself blocked. Please stop. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 14:53, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for responding on my Talk page. I will amend my comment to say that *most* of your edits have consisted of questionable or incorrect information. I suggest you take a look at the Wikipedia policies described on pages like WP:Source and WP:Reliable, for starters. It's not enough that something is "true" - it has to be sourced. In the case of some material you've added, the fact itself is questionable and the lack of a source means it's likely to get undone quickly. Nebraska as a rival to Michigan, for example. Yes, Nebraska is entering the Big 10. Yes, it's a perennial football power, and will a formidable opponent. But it does not instantly become a "rival" to Michigan like MSU, or Notre Dame, or OSU. Rivalries require time, and tradition, to build. So on that score I'm afraid you are incorrect. I also note that you offer no defense at all for your vandalism on the JFK assassination page, so I'll just repeat. If you keep adding questionable unsourced information, or vandalize pages, you'll sooner or later find yourself blocked. If however you're serious about contributing meaningfully and usefully to the encyclopedia, I'd be happy to help you learn the ropes. It's up to you. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 15:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Michigan-Nebraska
Hi MGoBlueHockey. In my opinion it might be too soon for a Michigan-Nebraska rivalry article, since the schools have played few games against each other as of yet (7), plus there are not that many reliable sources which refer to the schools as "rivals".

On the positive side, you brought up a good point with the 1997 season, so if I were creating an article I'd definitely include some information about their split championship (for example: ). There's been much written on the 2005 Alamo Bowl, from recaps to analysis of the controversial ending, and the bowl's official site notes that the game was "the most-watched college football game in ESPN history" to that point. Here are the best articles I could find about Michigan-Nebraska becoming a potential rivalry. Some of these articles' background stories/stats can be useful to help start a "Historical overview" section similar to the one found in the Duke–Michigan basketball rivalry.

The Alabama–Penn State football rivalry is a recent example of a small-ish rivalry article that was nominated for deletion but was kept thanks to sources from several years apart which backed up the idea that those schools were indeed considered rivals at various times in the programs' histories. That leads me again to my concern that, at this time, there does not appear to be a ton of evidence to support Mich-Neb as "true" rivals. My suggestion would be for you to develop a draft article in your sandbox following the format of some of the other rivalry pages, and/or ask the folks at WikiProject College football if the rivalry is notable; here is a recent discussion on some other rivalries. Good luck!  Gongshow  Talk 23:37, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
