split the article into sections[edit]

This article is WAY too long, and needs to be split in order to save loading time. I think we should have a couple seperate articles for the schedule, because it takes up way too much space--Summonmaster13 00:55, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible cut and paste copyright violation[edit]

The entire yearly results section appears to be lifted from http://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/Navy.htm

Even the sections that J Howell can not verify in his page have been included in this article. Look at the results for the year 1919. J Howell can not verify that the game against USS Utah actually occured on 12/5 but in this article, it is stated as fact. The formatting is eerily identical.Ciderbarrel 00:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea where the info way back then came from. Is this the only copyright violation that you are talking about or are there others on the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.179.176.172 (talk) 21:36, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

I have edited conflicting information and, on a side note, added the 1888, '89, '93, '94, '95 seasons as extracted from:

Addition of reference section and removal of "copy and paste" warning?[edit]

Since there is now a second source, which error-checks the previous source, would it be right to list both of those sites as references and remove the "copy and paste" warning at the top of the page? Msr iaidoka 01:30, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it has been almost two weeks since I proposed the removal of the disclaimer. Since there were no dissenting opinions I went ahead and removed it. Msr iaidoka 07:02, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Future Schedules[edit]

There are Navy football schedules for the next three years on the website and in the weekly programs. Would it be appropriate to list these schedules yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.210.84 (talk) 12:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one has responded, I will add the 2008 schedule. Feel free to change anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.210.84 (talk) 01:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, can't do it right now, internet down.--72.81.210.84 (talk) 02:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:United State Naval Academy Logo-sports.gif[edit]

Image:United State Naval Academy Logo-sports.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned references in Navy Midshipmen football[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Navy Midshipmen football's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Hiring ESPN":

From Ken Niumatalolo: Associated Press (2007-12-08). "Navy promotes assistant Niumatalolo to replace Johnson as coach". ESPN.com. Retrieved 2007-12-13. {{cite news}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)
From 2007 Poinsettia Bowl: Associated Press (December 8, 2007). "Navy promotes assistant Niumatalolo to replace Johnson as coach". ESPN. Archived from the original on December 23, 2007. Retrieved December 13, 2007. {{cite news}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)

Reference named "Bealle 8":

From 1887 Navy Midshipmen football team: Bealle (1951), pp. 8–9
From 1879 Navy Midshipmen football team: Bealle (1951), p. 8

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:37, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
