Removal of tag from University of Texas at Austin

You removed the {{Verylong}} tag from University of Texas at Austin. That is fine as I added the tag only as a heads-up. However, you summararized, "Removed "very long" tag. Article is comparable in length to, and in many cases shorter than, other articles on major universities, public and private." The addition and removal of such tags is not based on what is being done in other articles. It is based on Wikipedia policy (see Wikipedia:Article size). If the article becomes greater than 60KB, I will again tag it and the tag should not be removed until the problem is addressed. For the time being, I added the tag to the article's talk page just so people can keep it in mind when editing. Thanks for your work on Wikipedia! --Wordbuilder 13:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arizona

What's your obsession with pointing out that Arizona has not made the rose bowl? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.223.142.95 (talk • contribs)

I have no such obsession. I'm simply reverting your unjustified removals of content. I don't really care at all what it is that you're removing, just that you're removing factual and relevant information without any justification and with no attempt to effect a change in consensus on discussion pages. Perhaps the appropriate question would be: What is your "obsession" with removing this information? You may not like the reality of the information, but Wikipedia does not exist in order for you to eliminate factual and relevant content simply because that you wish that it were untrue. Additionally, why have you also repeatedly vandalized pages pertaining to Arizona State athletics?

You have accrued very little credibility as an editor to this point, given the nature of your edits, and if you continue altering pages in this fashion, you will ultimately be blocked from editing. ~ João Do Rio 23:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with you Joao Do Rio. This person's vandalism of the ASU athletics page is really out of control some times, talk about extreme fans. Oh, and mr.vandal, anytime you make some stupid edit you ASU's page I'll change it back, so you might as well not since there will be no point.Alexdragon 23:23, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

so tell me how pointing out asu's 2006 basketball and football record is vandalism? alexadragon - my answer to you is likewise. as soon as you stop vandalizing uofa sites.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.223.172.67 (talk • contribs)

Your edits to ASU's pages have contained factual mistakes and unencyclopedic commentary, and have shown a lack of neutral point of view. Feel free to study the pages linked by howcheng at the top of my user page to learn more about these and other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Finally, carry out your further communications with Alexdragon on his user page, not mine. ~ João Do Rio 02:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to use your page like this Joao, But I just want to make it clear that I NEVER vandalized or will vandalize U of A's pages. I don't recall making any edits to them at all. I would use this person's talk page to communicate, but it seems like this is a user who constantly changes his IP address, or at least uses various different locations to access wikipedia (I doubt multiple users would continue doing the same edits). Again, sorry to use your page like this Joao.Alexdragon 04:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologize. You're a legitimate editor, and I understand that his accusations against you are false (another thing that will facilitate his banning if he continues his current behavior). ~ João Do Rio 05:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the Rose Bowl Game page is finally protected, hopefully that "person" won't be attacking ASU's page for revenge. Thanks for helping me (or, letting me help YOU) keep the ASU and Rose bowl pages clean! Alexdragon 04:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UT All-time team

University of Texas Alltime team, was as noted, the Austin American Statesman, 2005. The date of the article was Septermbr 9. The team was chosen by a panel of experts, headed up by the sports editors of the paper.

Yeah, I was hoping you had a working link for that article. Doesn't look like the AAS has viewable online archives that date back that far. Thanks. ~ João Do Rio 03:41, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
