message: I went to Virginia Tech, so I'm not really qualified to edit this article, but this article is embarrassingly loaded.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.198.94.74 (talk) 21:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  ACC in 2004 conflicts with realignment article, 

message: From the Big East Years section, first sentence: "The greatest season ever seen in Virginia Tech football history came in 1999.".  I'm not even sure that's fixable with a citation.  Should it be removed?

thread_title:  A bit of hyperbole? 

message: I'm putting this here for purposes of dispute resolution. As I told User:Δ: "I'm well-aware of the NFC guidelines regarding galleries, but they do say that instances should be judged on a case-by-case basis. Virginia Tech has worn several different uniforms over the past few years and they're all relevant to the article. Furthermore, I and other designers will be adding past uniforms as well. Unfortunately, to display the images on the page in any other way besides the gallery would be unsightly and cluttered. Using a gallery is the most succinct way to display the images." He disagrees with my reasoning and claims that I'm violating copyright. I'm doing everything correctly as per the NFC rules. --Kevin W./Talk•CFB uniforms/Talk 21:54, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  My initial thought is to agree ... with so many specialty and throwback uniforms, you'd have to devote a lot of page space to simply display all the alternative uniforms, putting all non-free concerns aside. If someone created a child page, something like Virginia Tech Hokies football uniforms, that'd allay my concerns. JKBrooks85 (talk) 22:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Uniforms 

message: Protecting the version without the disputed images to err on the side of caution.  I'm not familiar enough with this particular aspect of our copyright rules to make a judgement as to whether or not the images violate the rule. Hopefully someone with a clearer understanding of the policy can make a judgement within the next 6 hours. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

message: An unregistered editor is insisting that David Wilson be added to this article's list of first overall picks in the NFL draft. However, Andrew Luck was the first overall pick in 2012.  If this section is intended to use some other criteria such as "First overall pick in the NFL Draft by a team" then it should be renamed or clarified in the article.

message: The "Future non-conference opponents" section is due for an update. As the 2018 season approaches, it is no longer necessary to include games in the 2017 season. Additionally, the games in 2020 and 2021, listed as "at Michigan" and "vs Michigan", respectively, are now against Middle Tennessee State University. Finally, a game "at Liberty" should be added to the empty spot in 2022. Other future games can be added as well. The source is the same: http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/acc/virginia-tech-hokies.php 173.50.87.191 (talk) 00:00, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
