re: List of University of Florida honorary degree recipients

Oops. There was no reason for my unintended deletion of the three new honorary degree recipients. I reverted the nomenclature changes, and did not realize that you had added the new recipients to the bottom of a very long page. Please use the diff comparison function and cut and paste the new recipients into the current version of the article, so you don't have to re-type your work. Please accept my apologies–as one of the Gator guardians of UF wiki style and formatting, I too hastily reverted your work in its entirety. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:31, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Ufgatorman, how would you like to cooperate on reworking this mess into a presentable list? IMHO, it has the potential to become a Wikipedia:Featured list with some work. Each honoree will need two or three of "gee whiz" facts and a footnote citation; the ones with live wiki links should be easy. There is plenty of good material, over a century of honorary degree recipients who read like a "who's who" of Florida, Southern and national educational and political leaders, but the editors who started the article cut and pasted most of the material from a shaky portion of the UF website, and then inserted all sorts of non-standard abbreviations and hyberbolic accolades for the honorees. (e.g. Robert Frost was cited as the greatest poet of all-time. Sure, Frost was good, but not that good.) I've wanted to re-work this list from start to finish, but my available Wikipedia free time has been largely devoted to rewriting the articles about the University of Florida presidents and sports coaches. Working together systematically, we might be able to revamp the UF honorary degrees list in two or three weeks, and put it into a condition where it's not an embarrassment to UF grads who stumble across it. Let me know if you're interested. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:51, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

UFG, just sent you an email through the Wikipedia email filter. Check whatever email account you set up with Wikipedia when you registered. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:06, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
