4 faculty?

I think there was a misunderstanding of the meaning of "faculty." There are indeed four departments ("faculties"), but "faculty" in the infobox refers to the number of professors/teachers. I don't know how many profs are actually at Helmut Schmidt University (I haven't heard of it before), and I can't find the actual number of professors on the website (at least not in English, and I don't speak a lick of German). Could somebody find the actual number of professors and correct it? Meanwhile, I'm changing the number of faculty on the infobox. Lockesdonkey 02:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the German source was too verbose, but they very openly displayed that it had 4 faculties. Maybe in Germany, faculties are study courses? Look at the website if you want more proof. Under the faculties heading, they have the four courses of study. Anonymous Dissident ^Utter 21:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The German word "Fakultäten" in this case refers to departments each harbouring a selection of different study courses. All in all some questionable English, I reedited some of the grammatical and spelling errors. Regards - Lt Becker (Student at the HSU)

a Pass/Fail:

Hello there AD. Congrats on the RFA. Okay here is the DL. Great prose and it follows WP:MOS quite well. However, this article needs some work. First of all there is not enough information. Especially, in the entire history section. Second, There is a overall lack of sources, granted it does have some, but not really enough. Finally, and the real biggy, 8 out of the 10 notes are not exactly WP:RS. Need to get some 3rd party in there. Can't wait to see the final product. Any questions, feel free to ask. --Thε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 19:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I will try and work on it. Thanks for the review. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is little in the way of references to be done I am afraid. I suppose that this does not therefore meet the criteria. Oh well - maybe I will resubmit if I can locate some better refs. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but in the condition it is in, I have to fail it. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 21:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
