[edit]

It looks to me like this article is 100% copied and pasted from the websites listed on the page. And most of the information appears to simply be when things were built or opened. Bolt Vanderhuge 06:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's a seed page to get things started. I'll be cleaning it up in the coming weeks.Madcoverboy 13:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • No significant conversion from copy-and-paste time line format to referenced paragraphs appears to have been made, so I would recommended the pertinent bits of this page be moved to the main NU article or this article should be rewritten altogether. - AKeen 16:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me this page is a good history of the geography and administration of Northwestern, but discussion on any academic achievements is lacking. This is a key element of other universities' history sections, such as University_of_Chicago#History. There has to be something we can add? Pummer (talk) 15:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more specific about "achievements"? Are you referring to research firsts, notable faculty members, membership in prestigious organizations, or something else altogether? Madcoverboy (talk) 15:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
