University of Arizona

Hey, thanks for watching out for the wikipage of University of Arizona. But you may be misunderstanding the context around top research-centered universities. AAU & NSF research spending are both highly relevant. It's often the first thing people look into in the academia as a faculty member at R1 institutions (e.g. https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/predicting-the-next-aau-members). To state research expenditure is ephemeral is the same as stating US News ranking, # of Nobel laureates, and student population are ephemeral. Sure, the status of an organization entity is not persistent but that's the precise reason why we have wikipedia. Wiki is not meant to be a static information page. This aims to concisely inform the readers where the university stands in the research community. It is condescending to assume the readers would know otherwise, especially given the disparity between the more popularly known U.S. News Ranking methodologies & Arizona admission philosophy due to state constitution requirement.

For reference, look at your own institution University of Delaware " According to the National Science Foundation, UD spent $186 million on research and development in 2018, ranking it 119th in the nation.[13][14] It is recognized with the Community Engagement Classification by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.[15]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.24.189.66 (talk) 01:12, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again for looking after the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.24.189.66 (talk) 01:01, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

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)

Comparable values

Are you ignoring the “comparable” limitation in the rule that “Comparable values” should all be represented by the same format? (In revert forcing “spanning twelve cities, five states, seven countries”) Thanks 174.194.136.237 (talk) 04:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. But feel free to revert me if I've made a mistake. ElKevbo (talk) 12:45, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Advice for Future Editing Events

Hi, I am a librarian at Agnes Scott College and one of the coordinators of last night's event where students made edits to the Agnes Scott College Wikipedia. My colleague Cbish74 and I plan to review and clean up the edits. In the process we hope to identify problems to watch out for in future edit-a-thons. If you have any tips you would like to share, we would love to hear them. We appreciate the comments you have already made. This was our first solo edit-a-thon. It went really well. Students were so enthusiastic they did not want to leave. :) Booksieread (talk) 15:12, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

@Booksieread: That's great to hear! I recommend looking at the resources available at the GLAM–Wiki initiative ("galleries, libraries, archives, and museums" with Wikipedia). They should have some resources for librarians working with patrons to edit articles, including resources from [Wikipedia:GLAM/US|other similar projects in the U.S.]] There may also be some useful resources at the Wikipedia Education Program.

Vertical bar

I want you to tell me, why did use vertical bar "|" in the punctuation for the category of Willamette University? 100.2.114.167 (talk) 19:22, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
