DYK help[edit]
Can anyone help me get Template:Did you know nominations/Jordan Poole and Template:Did you know nominations/Zavier Simpson approved at T:TDYK for April 3 to run during the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Game.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:52, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Student Body admissions SAT Range[edit]
Looks like the SAT Range evinced a large jump up from 2014 to 2015 and corresponding but large jump down from 2016 to 2017, leaving the years 2015 and 2016 suspect or looking like outliers. Anybody know where to get clean data? Bluedudemi (talk) 17:57, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
- Gak, no. If you can't find anything - that is, if in the end the info is unsourced - then maybe just remove the historical data? JohnInDC (talk) 18:08, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
Gak? Well, there is a source, I'm just not sure that it was accurately harvested for those 2 years. As to removing those years, that is a reasonable suggestion but would leave several holes in a table which, otherwise, appears to be within the range of plausibility given the Student Profile on the Michigan page. I'll leave it up to wiser heads to figure this one out, but thought I should point it out in the interest of achieving greater accuracy. Cheers. Bluedudemi (talk) 19:29, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
As a further thought, there is a more general issue within Wikipedia given that some sources are variable as to which components of the test are used (all three sections, or two?) and which scale (old or new) to use. This might engender a more general discussion as to both components and scaling for ALL schools. Bluedudemi (talk) 19:31, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
Among the early students in the School of Medicine was Jose Celso Barbosa, who in 1880 graduated as valedictorian and the first Puerto Rican to get a university degree in the United States.[edit]
Mr. Jose Celso Barbosa was not the first Puertorican to get a university degree in the United States. He was the second one. The first one was Estevan Antonio Fuertes who erned a Bachelor in Science in Civil Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York in 1857.

"Public Ivy" and other recent edits[edit]
"Public Ivy" is a term taken from a 30+ year old book, subjective in nature, and of questionable relevance in the lead of articles about universities. See Talk:Public_Ivy/Archive_1#Remove_Public_Ivy_from_college_and_university_article_leads? for more. (That discussion resulted in the removal of the term from the leads, which I'm trying to maintain here.) If it's important to restore it for this school, let's revive the discussion there and decide it for all schools.
Separately, Michigan is of course a great school but it's not necessary to remind the reader of it repeatedly, particularly in the lead, so I've tempered some of the language there too. The facts largely speak for themselves and IMHO do not need additional characterization in the article text. Comments welcome! JohnInDC (talk) 13:38, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
