Accreditation of Hellenic/Holy Cross
Are you sure that Holy Cross is not accredited by NEASC? I see Hellenic listed on NEASC's web site as offering Bachelor's and Master's degrees, and I've been taking the latter as referring to Holy Cross. Also, HC's website states that it has NEASC accreditation. Chonak (talk) 21:25, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Northeastern University
I made an edit before I noticed your note on the talk page, I tried to compromise on the wording to stay consistent with the styling standard (from the looks of Boston College, Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) but also provide insight into the shift away from NEU to NU the school has been undergoing. Hope its agreeable.Jheiv (talk) 23:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure its just the university official stance, but rather the actual name of the university. Consider a company who changed its name (I think of Xe). The article into notes "formerly Blackwater Worldwide & Blackwater USA". While it may be true that "everyone" will continue to call the company Blackwater for the immediate future, as that is the name they are most comfortable/ familiar with, Misplaced Pages does not perpetuate something that is no longer correct just because it is colloquially accepted and used. I don't think there is any question whether the that article should be phrased as it is. As far as I am concerned, placing NEU in the header does it just about as much justice as it deserves, very similiar to the Xe article. Jheiv (talk) 19:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for checking on the ECSU article!
Saw your comment on the history for Eastern Connecticut State University. I'm not sure I agree that it's NPOV (minus the occasion vandalism), but I do concede on the non-standardization. So I'm going to spend some time this weekend fixing it up. I'd also like to add more sections, like history. Unfortunately, any attempts at finding verifiable history have been...unsuccessful.
I no longer attend the school, but I feel it could be better. I was hoping my re-write two and a half years ago would spark some major additions, but nothing ever came about except minor updates every now and then. Before then, the article was literally a copy of quick facts from the school website. It was horrendous. -- Dymero (talk) 08:47, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
UNE and Westbrook College
Good afternoon,
Thanks for the copy edits and changes/adjustments you made to the history section of the UNE article, and for splitting the Westbrook College section into a new article. Creating a separate article on Westbrook College has been on my to-do list for the past couple of years, but I always seem to get sidetracked by other things on Misplaced Pages... I'm sure you understand!
Thanks again,
