| Would someone from WP:UNI mind taking a look at this article? There are some minor things which can be cleaned up fairly easily (e.g. ], ], ]), but the main thing is that the article seems to be citing ] as its only source. Actually, it's not really citing the German Misplaced Pages article about the school per se, but rather the sources cited in the German Misplaced Pages article, but the way it's doing this is not how it should be done. In addition, it might be a translation of the German Misplaced Pages article which would require attribuition per ]. -- ] (]) 06:01, 7 August 2019 (UTC) | |||

| I've reopened an old can of worms and in the Talk page for the ] that, for some universities and colleges, it makes considerably more sense to feature a school's logo prominently rather than its seal or coat-of-arms. In some cases, a school's seal isn't used for any public recognition purposes at all, is only used for stamping diplomas and that sort of thing, and so it's strange for those schools to feature it so prominently on the page rather than a recognizable logo.

| == Is a university "affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention" a "Baptist university?" == | |||
| Best regards, | |||
| I've opened a discussion at ] asking if a university "affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention" is a "Baptist university." Your input would be appreciated! ] (]) 18:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC) | |||
| :Please note there are several other colleges and universities in nearly identical situations e.g., ] is affiliated with the ] but does that make it "Lutheran" or is that an appropriate shorthand description? ] (]) 22:02, 23 August 2019 (UTC) | |||
| ::Honestly the larger issue of that descriptor seems like a case-by-case kinda thing (dependent on the nature of the affiliation in relation to financing, curriculum, or culture). Quick search for "Baptist" in shows that a fair degree of control is held by ] (provides the funds, and controls its charter through the appointment of the University's trustees), so I don't see anything wrong with calling it a baptist institution. In saying that though, I also don't see anything wrong with how the lead is presently worded (its a private university.... Anderson is affiliated with baptist convention...). ] (]) 04:11, 24 August 2019 (UTC) | |||
| :: As I mentioned on the Anderson talk page, to me "affiliated" has the meaning of a voluntary association, which would not include (in this example) a university funded and controlled by the convention (via the appointment of its trustees) – in corporate terms, the SC Baptist Convention is the ] of the university. It struck me last night that this could be a US English usage of "affiliated", in which case we should follow ] and "use a commonly understood word or phrase in preference to one that has a different meaning because of national differences" on Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 15:22, 24 August 2019 (UTC) | |||

| == /* Top rankings */ in page College and university Rankings == | |||
| ---- | |||
| Hi, I would like some help from other editors; one user some time ago decided that the ] page was too messed up with over 20 rankings listed up together, making no distinction of those virtually unknown and those well-established, well respected and that every country in the world cares about, as the ARWU Shanghai ranking, the QS ranking and the THE ranking. So the person made a new section about these three specific rankings before all others. Then another user showed up and added the "Leiden ranking" I had honestly never heard of (in years of dealing with education and rankings), in what is obviously a personal move, but as such user is a registered and active editor and I'm just an IP, I understand I'll need more people to seriously look into the issue for my opinion alone won't count much. I would therefore be quite grateful if somebody who is familiar with the topic could participate in its discussion page. Thank you. ] (]) 20:35, 3 October 2019 (UTC) | |||

The plan was for that institution to transition to becoming just Indiana University Columbus, and Purdue ending its involvement with the campus. So far though, the IUPUC page has been changed such that all its verbs are past-tense (indicating a defunct institution), and the link for ] is just a redirect to the IUPUC page with its past-tense phrasing. My initial plan was just to move the IUPUC page to Indiana University Columbus and change all its tenses to present-tense again, but I wanted to check in here first to see what you all thought, or if there were plans to make a new IU Columbus page and leave the IUPUC page up as is, as a defunct institution.

Article for Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus/Indiana University Columbus
Hi all. Back in July, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis split into two universities, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University in Indianapolis. The split with that institution seems to have gone well on here, but this split also affected the regional campus under IUPUI's administration, Indiana University–Purdue University Columbus. The plan was for that institution to transition to becoming just Indiana University Columbus, and Purdue ending its involvement with the campus. So far though, the IUPUC page has been changed such that all its verbs are past-tense (indicating a defunct institution), and the link for Indiana University Columbus is just a redirect to the IUPUC page with its past-tense phrasing. My initial plan was just to move the IUPUC page to Indiana University Columbus and change all its tenses to present-tense again, but I wanted to check in here first to see what you all thought, or if there were plans to make a new IU Columbus page and leave the IUPUC page up as is, as a defunct institution.
