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)

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)

USNA DGA

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)
