@MisterCake: Your edit asserts Clemson football is a member of the SIAA conference in 1897 and ignores the existing citation of Clemson's 2016 Media Guide, pg 200 which shows 1897 Clemson football was not part of SIAA or any other conference -contrast the 1897 visual treatment with 1900, 1901, 1938, 1953, and later years where the conference name and conference W-L-T record are explicity broken out.

Do you have a WP:RS which supports your change asserting 1897 Clemson football participation in SIAA? UW Dawgs (talk) 08:32, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

A media guide not knowing the conference when they don't have the championship banner is superior to a contemporary yearbook of a conference member listing members of the conference before it talks about its football team because....? Cake (talk) 10:08, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

@MisterCake: Your edit changed the article from stating Clemson was an Independent per this existing citation, pg 201, to being SIAA-affiliated without offering a valid supporting citation. Your citation appears to reference Clemson's general SIAA membership, but this is an article about the 1897 Clemson football in particular. School membership does not establish participation of a given team.

Per WP:BURDEN, your addition of unsourced and contested content has been reverted. Please produce a valid citation for 1897 Clemson football participation in SIAA before making any similar change. UW Dawgs (talk) 17:34, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
