Florida Gators football "Controversies" section
Zen, when you have a moment, can you please take a look at the distorted material the IP user (IP v6) is adding to the Florida Gators football article under the new "Controversies" section? Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:29, 4 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's not a needed section, as I mentioned in a new discussion on the article's talk page. Nice to see you back! --Zeng8r (talk) 00:36, 5 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey, I've also got a different Gators-related issue. The Wikipedia copyvio enforcers were campaigning to reduce the use of all copyrighted college sports program logos to as few on-wiki transclusions as possible two or three years ago.  The Florida Gator head logo stood out near the top of the list at the time for most uses of a copyrighted image on Wikipedia.  With some serious jaw-jawing, I was able to get them to back off and allow us to continue to use it on all of the individual Florida Gators teams articles as well as the Florida Gators program article, after I had replaced the gator head logo with the non-copyright script Gators logo on all of the rivalry, sports team seasons, bowl game, NCAA tournament articles, etc.  I believe there are only 17 permitted "fair use" transclusions of the gator head logo, and it should not be used anywhere else.  Earlier today, I caught another IP replacing all of the script Gators logos with the copyrighted gator head logo -- and such obvious over-use could attract the attention of the Wiki copyvio enforcers again, destroy the detente we've had on this issue for 2+ years, and lead to the severely curtailed use of the gator head logo on all but a handful of the Florida Gators team pages.  I would be grateful if you would (a) add all of the articles that transclude the script Gators logo to your personal watch list, and (b) quickly revert any changes of the script Gators logo to the copyrighted gator head logo as quickly as you see them.  You can find a list of all the articles that use the script Gators logo on Wikimedia Commons here.  Thanks, Zen.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:41, 5 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Will do, as time allows. Zeng8r (talk) 15:58, 5 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Our friend is back; probably need some help riding shotgun on the main football article. I deleted the entire controversies section: topics are more appropriately discussed elsewhere, i.e. Johnny Rutledge, Jevon Kearse, Tank Black, Urban Meyer and Aaron Hernandez articles.  Keep WP:3RR in mind.  Cheers.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:25, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
