Article targeted for major re-write[edit]

This article has been targeted for a major re-write by one or more of the editors of the University of Florida Wikipedia Project, including achieving an "encyclopedic" neutral point of view, properly sourcing all factual material to reliable and authoritative sources (either on-line news sources or hard-copy publications), and uniform style and formatting consistent with the UF Wikipedia Project, all with the goal of satisfying the Wikipedia requirements for "Feature Article" status. Given the sensitivity of some UF-affiliated editors to changes to Gators athletics articles that they have placed on their "watch lists," your comments and input are solicited.

The ultimate goal is to eliminate any "rah-rah" aspects of the article, and let the facts and statistics regarding the Gators' baseball success speak for itself, so that the final product will reflect well on the University of Florida, as viewed by unaffiliated readers seeking information about the team, UF, UAA, etc.

Please leave suggestions or comments below. Thank you. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2011 SEC regular season co-champions[edit]

There has been a problem in recent days with several IP users deleting the recently added reference to the Gators' 2011 SEC regular season championship. The Florida, South Carolina and Vanderbilt baseball teams finished with identical 22–8 SEC records, and therefore the three teams are regular season co-champions. This is consistent with how the SEC lists titles, and Wikipedia lists the SEC conference championships the same way the SEC does. Does anyone care to dispute this, or do we need to quote chapter and verse from SEC record book? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:35, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Giving a specific citation would settle the matter once and for all.--Cúchullain ^t/c 01:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect. There's no reason to remove the information now.Cúchullain ^t/c 12:57, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Florida Gators[edit]

I think I've said this elsewhere, but the main Florida Gators article needs to be linked somewhere in the article itself, preferably in the lead. This goes for all of the individual team sub-articles. I don't know if that first instance is the best place for the link - it looks like it to me - but it needs to be somewhere intuitive so that readers can find the main article easily. Perhaps simply changing the phrasing to something like "Like all Florida Gators sports teams, the baseball team..." It should only be in the "see also" section until the point it's worked into the article body, "see also" shouldn't be a substitute for including it.--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:42, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've been looking for other college sports teams good articles to go by, and unfortunately there's not much to go by. However, two that I did find, Maryland Terrapins football and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football, never mention the main articles in the article body. They never even mention it in a see also section either. It seems like a major oversight to me, but I won't object if you want to revert my linking.--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:46, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edits by User:Planeflyer[edit]

Planeflyer is a puppet of a user subject to a community ban. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/DragoLink08. As such his edits are subject to reversion on sight. For that reason I have reverted a series of edits he has made to this page. Any other editor may restore those edits (but then becomes responsible for the contents if they are flawed).

Orphaned references in Florida Gators baseball[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Florida Gators baseball's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "NCAA":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:50, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1911 season and coach (?)[edit]

@MisterCake: Have you been able to substantiate that there was a Gators varsity baseball team in the spring of 1911, and they actually played an intercollegiate season? All records I have seen previously state the team started in spring 1912, and Dougal M. Buie is not listed among the coaching history in the media guide. Could be a historical records cock-up from the early years of UAA, or it could be something else. In the mean time, I think we need to acknowledge Buie is listed in the Seminole yearbook, but not the "official" team records as embodied in the media guide, with an explanatory footnote. We do our readers a disservice otherwise by not acknowledging the factual ambiguity. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:18, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

His page in the yearbook says "Captain Second Foot Ball Team. Coach Varsity Base Ball team." He's also listed as simply captain on the UAA page, but then in another picture is labeled as "captain and coach." The analogous picture of Dummy Taylor for the football season has him merely labeled as 'captain.' It seems "Doog" was a kind of player-coach. Right here is the picture of the baseball team. "Doog" is the one in the UNC sweater. The next season, he seems to be on the baseball team. I cannot confirm a W-L record, but that seems a fault of the yearbook for only including pictures. Cake (talk) 17:29, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There do seem to be Gators listed as lettering for 1911 baseball, even in present day media guides (where this gets its info). For example, one B. G. Langston. Cake (talk) 17:40, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
