thread_title: Userbox

message: I have kludged together a template for article talk pages, to track which articles are part of the project, and to keep track of current quality ratings. It's a quick and dirty mod of the WP Georgia Tech template, with all instances of that university's name replaced with "University of Florida" as appropriate, so it should function correctly once it's out of userspace. I used the cropped Century Tower pic, since that seems to be the most popular free-use picture available. The template does not have the capacity to display the project priority (à la ); if some template guru can add that, I'd be grateful. It's currently located at User:Horologium/WPUF; I'll push it into template space over the weekend if it meets with everyone's approval. Horologium (talk) 02:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Talk page template  

message: On the main page of the project, I have added an assessment table, which displays all of the articles currently tagged by the project, by their importance and quality status. This table is not totally dynamic; it updates every two or three days by way of a bot, so don't get frustrated if you tag or assess a bunch of articles and it doesn't show up right away.
Right now, we have no FA, A, or GA class articles, which is something we should push toward. University of Florida is a B-class article; let's at least get it up to GA class.
For importance, I think we should establish some criteria to avoid having everything listed as high-priority. Alumni, unless they were important to the university itself (such as joining the staff), should be low-importance. I've been tagging all of the individual colleges as High-importance, because they are the raison d'être of the university; I think individual buildings should be low-importance. We'll have to hash out things like the sports programs and faculty members. Horologium (talk) 02:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a couple questions about the assessment of a couple articles. Well I went ahead and put the O'Dome and Ben Hill Griffen Stadium has mid importance, do you think that's right? Also what about individual sport seasons, low? And what about the baseball stadium and sports rivalries? Hatmatbbat10 (talk) 03:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the O Dome and Ben Hill Griffin Stadium should be either mid or high importance, so let's leave them at mid. The baseball stadium is much lower-profile, since college baseball is not a big deal here in Florida, so I'd say low.  Individual seasons should be low, although maybe we might step them up to mid for championship seasons. The rivalries are relatively unimportant, so we can leave them at low. Horologium (talk) 03:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Tebow is currently the flavor of the month. His accomplishment is notable, but not for the university itself (it's likely that he would have performed similarly at any other university), and it's not likely that he will be working with the university after graduation. Moving his priority up would be a bad case of recentism. I think that the articles by decade should be low pri as well, because they are overviews of a bunch of low-priority articles. As for the alumni, I can almost guarantee that people will start adding alumni to the project, even if they didn't do anything noteworthy while at UF. Horologium (talk) 15:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  The University of Florida Template 

message: Why is it in every single joint article between FSU and UF all of the templates have to have UF first? I am not trying to nitpick but it seems a little bias.  Sometimes changes are made to have FSU the first wiki project with uf having the first bottom template then everything changes by some pro gator editor?--68.35.201.31 (talk) 02:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK, There are only three articles which have both templates—Florida-Florida State Rivalry, in which it makes sense to have the UF template first because that is the order of the names in the title of the article, and National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Albert A. Murphree, where the FSU template is first. If there are others, please point them out to me, because there are few (if any) UF-templated articles that even mention FSU, let alone have an FSU template on it.  FWIW, Until an FSU-aligned editor added the FSU template to the Murphree article today (above the UF template), there were only two articles with both templates. This strikes me as a rather petty dispute to vent your spleen over; just let it go. Horologium (talk) 03:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I edit both UF & FSU articles, and I might also add that I created both Wikipedia Projects.  I have not noticed a bias, nor do I think this is even an issue. Jccort (talk) 11:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

One Recommendation.  Change Former Players to Player Awards.  Player awards should be a list of players who received any major award (Golden Spikes, POY, etc), was named an All-American, or to the CWS All-Torunament team.
I'll check back on the article next week and see what it looks like then.

thread_title:  Articles flagged for cleanup 

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

message: A collection of Wikipedia articles is being collected together as Wikipedia 0.7. This collection will be released on DVD later this year, and will be available for free download. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. 
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles; a team of copyeditors has agreed to help improve the writing upon request.  
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

*Nominate an Executive Director to guide the overall project, to provide a sense of direction, and to get everything/everyone on the same page
*Revamp the main WikiProject University of Florida page format. A Good example:WikiProject Georgia Tech
*Revamp our goals now that the project is almost 2 years old
*Revamp the University of Florida page so that it is not so long
*Improve the To-do list
*Strive to have more Good articles
*Prioritize University of Florida & Florida Gators articles by levels of importance
*Create an Announcements Section

thread_title: Wikiproject University of Florida on Facebook

message: NorwalkJames and everyone else, we have a problem with many of our historical university images within WikiProject University of Florida, in that the images' license, fair use and public domain rationales have been provided piecemeal, and are now being attacked one at a time by individual Wiki copyright enforcers.  Images for which valid use rationales exist, but have not been satisfactorily stated, are being deleted by default.  There is a new minor dust-up over a University of Florida archive image of one of the university's past presidents (E. T. York).  There is apparently a valid public domain rationale under state law.  Please see discussions at  and .
These Wikipedia image copyright disputes seem to be increasingly common, as there now seems to be a significant bias in favor of deleting all images that do not fit under the simplest of "public domain" rationales.  The Project leaders need to contemplate a global solution, which, to my limited knowledge, probably entails uploading all existing UF historical images to WikiCommons and getting the sign-off of the more knowledgeable copyright police over there.  Please consider a global course of action.  None of us have the time to fight these two and three-day copyright battles, one image at a time, with Wiki copyright enforcers whose main mission in life is to delete images from Wikipedia.  Thanks.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 12:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But Commons will only take images that are in the public domain or that have been released under totally free licenses. They do not accept "fair use" images. If the images are subject to deletion in the English Wikipedia because they are not "free", you can't move them to Commons. -- Donald Albury 17:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

text: If you can't get the English Wikipedia to accept that images are in the public domain, you may have the same problem at Commons, as there is overlap in the editors/administrators involved. I'm not involved in determining copyright status, but I did follow the discussions pretty closely for a while. I suspect that you are going to have to produce a statement from the State identifying the image as having been released to the public domain for each image. -- Donald Albury 16:20, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles were selected based on their assessed  importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the University of Florida articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details.  You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010.

At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

message: UF has 24 pages for its colleges/schools.  While I haven't checked them all yet, it seems each page uses the  at the top of the infobox.  Each college/school has its own logo, like the , including the college/school name above "University of Florida".  I was thinking of either replacing the UF Vertical Signature with the respective college/school's logo, or adding it to the bottom of the infobox like on the University of Florida page.  Thoughts?

message: A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
