Georgia Tech football, sources

OneLastAuk, nice work expanding all those early Georgia Tech football season article. I rolled back some of your edits to restore standing formatting in the schedule tables, for consistency with thousands of analogous articles. When citing the same source more than once, you don't want reiterate an entire duplicate of the reference. When a source is used more than one, the citation should be named, and then subsequent citations to the source can call that same name. See this edit I made at 1892 Georgia Tech football team--oh, I know see you have figured this out and are working on cleaning that stuff up. Excellent. Also, are you accessing the newspaper article you are citing with an online resource? Jweiss11 (talk) 02:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Jweiss, thank you for all of your work on the College Football projects and for the feedback and editing. It has been quite a few years since I last did any real work on Wikipedia so I'm remembering a lot as I go along (like the bundling of sources). I certainly support standard formatting and will try not to go afield of what is already been set. I've found that early college football seasons (pre-1930) are all over the place in style, length, formatting, and accuracy so I've been trying my best to build out the early GT seasons in the realization that they may eventually need to be reformatted as the community figures out the best layout. In any case, it has been nice to see that the those articles are getting bumped up from 'stub' levels.

As for the newspaper articles, I have some that I've collected over the years, but I also have access the newspapers themselves online so I'm able to read the articles directly. I plan on eventually trying to put together accessible links to them but don't have the time to do it now...so I have just been adding the static citations for now.
