You mean the fabricated nonsense spewed by the Ukrainian essay mill owners to which you link above? Your opinion does not carry an ounce more wait than mine.

| You recently reverted the ] article. I believe that this reversion is in error.

| == Buffy the Vampire Slayer external links == | |||
| Buffy is nothing if not fansites. You've changed the category 'Unofficial Websites', which actually meant something to the buffy topic, to 'external links' which means nothing. | |||
| I understand your point of "Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links". Yet the links you leave on the page amount to nothing more than a collection of fan site links. I don't feel put out that you removed the link I added. I do feel put out that you haven't taken the same 'subjective' look at the links you've chosen to leave on the page. In fact I wouldn't have posted in the first place if the existing links hadn't given me reason to believe my link had just as much right to be included. {{unsigned|24.72.30.83|13:39, 11 June 2006}} | |||
| :First, I agree that the links in the Buffy article could use some more scrutiny. I noted as much on the article's Talk page over a week ago. We'd sure appreciate any assistance you can provide us in tackling this issue! | |||
| :Second, I disagree with your characterization of the removal of the "Unofficial links" title. First of all, there should never be just one subsection in a section. That just doesn't make any sense. Second, the clear implication of the title "Unofficial links" is that there are "Official links." As of right now, there are no official links. Finally, I disagree with your assertion that the title "External links" means nothing. That is Misplaced Pages convention and is consistent with nearly every other Misplaced Pages article. | |||
| :Finally, I disagree with your contention that "Buffy is nothing if not fansites" as there are clearly several websites on that list that are not just fansites in the broad sense of the word. And even your assertion were true, it still wouldn't matter as Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links and it's only appropriate to put one fansite link in an article. I'm more than willing to bend that convention when it makes sense and I think it makes sense when multiple, well-maintained fansites contribute meaningfully *and* differently to the article and the reader's understanding of the topic. --] 19:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

Hi there. An editor recently added a section to Stephens College regarding "student outcomes"...how much $$$ their grads are making. I looked at WP:UNIGUIDE and didn't see anything about this. Seems kinda boosterism-ish. Can I get your opinion? Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 14:34, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- It's well sourced and pertinent information. We can't remove information just because it's not in WP:UNIGUIDE. But it also lacks nuance and context which is critical for that kind of information, especially when it's presented for an entire institution with many programs because there is usually tremendous variation in the data between graduates with different degrees.

Not sure what you have against USNA distinguished graduates. "Unnecessary detail" isn't a reason for deletion: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Content_removal#Reasons_for_content_removal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomhubbard (talk • contribs) 00:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- You may find it helpful to review our general policy on what Misplaced Pages is not and our specific guidance on what we typically include in articles about colleges and universities. In general, we try to aim for articles that cover the most important information about an institution without delving into a lot of detail about any particular aspect unless that detail is critical e.g., precise size of endowment, year of founding, number of students enrolled. A detailed listing of alumni who receive a particular award from the institution doesn't seem to be the kind of critical information we should include in an encyclopedia article.
- You're welcome to open a discussion in the article's Talk page to see if other editors have different opinions! ElKevbo (talk) 02:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
