thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: 75.65.8.7 edits are nothing more than an attempt at devaluing the accomplishments of the Ole Miss football program; trying to make them seem like they really aren't notable. That is POV and last I heard, wasn't acceptable on Wikipedia. The infobox already contains the championships as being "claimed" so there's no reason to make the changes being made by 75.65.8.7. But that also leads to another issue: These are championships awarded to Ole Miss, regardless of whether or not they are official NCAA championships. Ole Miss doesn't "claim" them but accepts them as they were given to them. Was the NCAA even in existence back in the old days when these championships were awarded to Ole Miss? Apparently there wasn't any "authority" for championships back then - no NCAA, no BCS.. just news organizations awarding championships, which means Ole Miss' aren't any less valuable than any awarded by the Associated Press back then. 75.66.75.195 (talk) 05:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have rebuilt the table, removing the duplicate column and unreferenced additions. I also reworded some the the preceding paragraph. Hopefully this will help. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

text: But this article is about Ole Miss football, not all those other schools. It doesn't matter which polls were the "most respected", they are ALL nothing more than media polls and no single one, especially back then, was any more important than any other.. so yes, you are devaluing national championships that have been awarded to Ole Miss. I'll even argue that back then, Dunkel and Sagarin were seen as more respected than United Press when it came to football. 75.66.75.195 (talk) 16:11, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If editors here reach a consensus on how the ranking should be stated in the article, the semiprotection can be lifted. Consider an WP:RFC if there are not enough participants. It sounds like the ranking issue may affect more articles than this one, so it might have already been discussed somewhere else. Consider searching for prior discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject American football. EdJohnston (talk) 04:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: National Championship edits

message: I have started the 2010 season section. It's just one line for now. I will add content following each game. For the record, I am not an Ole Miss fan. I also removed a line about Alabama being d-bags and vacating their 2009 wins.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bravo601 (talk • contribs) 13:03, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Some annonymous IP keeps coming in and reverting the divisional championship notation to fractions, which is not the standard. I keep reverting the change but don't want to be accused of edit waring, because apparently being "right" isn't justification, so I'm pointing out the issue here.

thread_title: Divisional Championships

message: New Mexico flew to California to play Occidental College in October of 1929.  This article states that Ole Miss didn't fly to a game until 1937.  Please amend.  Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.43.225.42 (talk) 00:03, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: With the recent developments in the NCAA case, almost every page relating to an Ole Miss football team has received and will continue to receive edits with incorrect information, the most common of these being wins from previous seasons being vacated from their record. Ole Miss has NOT been ordered to vacate any wins from it's football team. Cubone5147 (talk) 15:04, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, but regarding this edit (I'm assuming you're IP 23.127.92.252); the paragraph that was removed seemed to be referring to Alabama's forfeited games in the series. Or at least some of them. I'm not sure if that record is correct but there's definitely some forfeited games in the series. Lizard (talk) 15:16, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article Cleanup 

message: The Ole Miss Rebels football#History sections has many "era" subsections which have grown much too large for the main article.  I suggest someone with interest tackle this as a project to:
* Port some "History" section content (with attribution to this article) to a new "History of Ole Miss Rebels football" article containing this deeper detail.  You can see 20 such team-specific "History of" articles at :Category:History of college football by team.
* Rewrite these "era" sections in this article taking a summary view (reduce specific game callouts, focus more on bowl/overall WLT record, championships, etc).
Any thoughts? UW Dawgs (talk) 20:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I could've sworn one existed already. I'm all for it as long as we don't leave the history section on this article completely blank, like Tennessee Volunteers football#History. Per WP:CORRECTSPLIT point 6, there should at least be a short summary. Lizard (talk) 20:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't look like that IP editor intends to quit piling on any time soon. The article is now over 200k bytes. Lizard (talk) 03:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Caught my eye, as well. Taking the long view, it's more content that can go in the stand-alone article, so I'm not fighting it. UW Dawgs (talk) 03:30, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, and it's well-sourced, which is nice. Not every day you see that. Lizard (talk) 03:37, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

text: I'll try to write up a summary and create the fork later today. Maybe. Lizard (talk) 18:47, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
