Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:13, 16 December 2024

John Jay Article

Hey, I don't know how to leave a signature so sorry about that but saw your edit. Those were college majors (have provided a link to the correct source), I don't know if it's against WP policy to list the majors the college offers (if it does, please feel free to let me know or undo it and I apologize) but wanted to give you the heads up. Anyway, it is dedicated to Criminal Justice, hence the college's name (John Jay College of Criminal Justice). Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.108.33 (talk • contribs) 22:16, November 4, 2021 (UTC)

Texas Tech University

Hi @ElKevbo. I see we've both been working on updating the Texas Tech University page recently. I wanted to see if there's a reason you removed all of my edits to it and what your concerns were. Glenysyoung87 (talk) 03:26, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Have you looked at the article's revision history? I was careful to use edit summaries to explain my thinking when I removed or edited each section. ElKevbo (talk) 14:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

I have; your last comment was "rv undiscussed, problematic additions - please open a discussion in Talk". What did you consider problematic additions? I ask because I work at Texas Tech University and have been tasked with getting our Misplaced Pages pages updated to accurately reflect our current university priorities. If there is something I'm doing wrong that is flagging these changes, I would very much like to know that so I can do my job while respecting the boundaries of the Wiki community. Thank you.

Recent edits to Tufts University

Hi @ElKevbo I invite you to actually look at the sources for the endowment, which does not misstate it. Furthermore, Mr. Cummings is the namesake of the graduate veterinarian school and the new largest building on the undergraduate campus. He has signed The Giving Pledge and is worth billions, which I think constitutes success in business. Happy Thanksgiving. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4500:D4D0:5D27:9351:DB61:3110 (talk) 21:56, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. "Net assets" is not the same as an endowment. In fact, the source you cited explicitly says "the endowment grew to over $2.4 billion." And you're welcome to create an article about Cummings and then we can consider if he should be added to the article. ElKevbo (talk) 22:19, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Stephens College

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.

Ursuline College

Hi @ElKevbo! I was wondering if it would be possible to restore the additions recently made to the Ursuline College page regarding their ranking by U.S. News and World Report. Other Ohio universities' pages use extremely similar wording, like under the Academics and Rankings section of Bowling Green State University. Let me know your thoughts, and thanks so much for your help! I am new to editing articles so still learning the ropes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tay.sauer (talk • contribs) 10:25, December 16, 2024 (UTC)

I have no objection to including relevant, up-to-date rankings in the article. But they should be described in neutral language and with accuracy, including the year of the ranking.

And I strongly recommend that you restrict most or all of your editing about Ursuline to the article's Talk page given your employment and your specific role at the college. ElKevbo (talk) 15:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Will do, thank you so much for letting me know! Tay.sauer Tay.sauer (talk) 15:44, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
