Is a university "affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention" a "Baptist university?"
I've opened a discussion at Talk:Anderson University (South Carolina) asking if a university "affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention" is a "Baptist university." Your input would be appreciated! ElKevbo (talk) 18:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- Please note there are several other colleges and universities in nearly identical situations e.g., Augsburg University is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America but does that make it "Lutheran" or is that an appropriate shorthand description? ElKevbo (talk) 22:02, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- Honestly the larger issue of that descriptor seems like a case-by-case kinda thing (dependent on the nature of the affiliation in relation to financing, curriculum, or culture). Quick search for "Baptist" in Anderson U's financial reports shows that a fair degree of control is held by South Carolina Baptist Convention (provides the funds, and controls its charter through the appointment of the University's trustees), so I don't see anything wrong with calling it a baptist institution. In saying that though, I also don't see anything wrong with how the lead is presently worded (its a private university.... Anderson is affiliated with baptist convention...). Leventio (talk) 04:11, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
- As I mentioned on the Anderson talk page, to me "affiliated" has the meaning of a voluntary association, which would not include (in this example) a university funded and controlled by the convention (via the appointment of its trustees) – in corporate terms, the SC Baptist Convention is the parent company of the university. It struck me last night that this could be a US English usage of "affiliated", in which case we should follow MOS:COMMONALITY and "use a commonly understood word or phrase in preference to one that has a different meaning because of national differences" on Misplaced Pages.

/* Top rankings */ in page College and university Rankings
Hi, I would like some help from other editors; one user some time ago decided that the College and university rankings page was too messed up with over 20 rankings listed up together, making no distinction of those virtually unknown and those well-established, well respected and that every country in the world cares about, as the ARWU Shanghai ranking, the QS ranking and the THE ranking. So the person made a new section about these three specific rankings before all others. Then another user showed up and added the "Leiden ranking" I had honestly never heard of (in years of dealing with education and rankings), in what is obviously a personal move, but as such user is a registered and active editor and I'm just an IP, I understand I'll need more people to seriously look into the issue for my opinion alone won't count much. I would therefore be quite grateful if somebody who is familiar with the topic could participate in its discussion page. Thank you. 213.245.146.78 (talk) 20:35, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Nomination of Portal:Universities for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether Portal:Universities is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The page will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Universities until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the page during the discussion, including to improve the page to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the deletion notice from the top of the page. Certes (talk) 16:31, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Merging of Paris I
Hello, I see that many many pages have merge into the main university page: https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:University_of_Paris_1_Pantheon-Sorbonne . Should that page merge too? https://en.wikipedia.org/Blockades_of_the_Tolbiac_center_of_University_of_Paris_1_Pantheon-Sorbonne --Delfield (talk) 10:02, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Additional input at Furman University requested

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
The Iona College Pipe Band
Would someone from this WikiProject mind taking a look at this and assessing it for notability? It doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, WP:NORG or WP:BAND, but maybe there's another guideline it satisfies. Currently, the own source(s) cited is Facebook which is a WP:SPS at best and not really helpful for establishing the band's Misplaced Pages notability. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:57, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Although extracurriculars generally wouldn't qualify, the age of the band (founded 1966) and the CBS local news coverage make me think it might be salvageable. For now, I'd say a notability tag is fine, since there's only one source of the two needed, but a deletion nomination would be premature unless there's been a more thorough search. If a TV station is willing to cover an org, chances are the student newspaper either has or will get around to it at some point, at which point the article will be safe, so let's give it a chance.

Edit warring to add a separate "Controversies" section to multiple articles
Can someone else please take a look at Ballastrae's edits? He or she has begun edit warring to insert a separate "Controversies" section into multiple articles. There is an ongoing discussion in the Talk page of the first article that he or she edited but now he or she has begun making the same edit in other articles while the discussion is still ongoing. Additional opinions are welcomed. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 23:57, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
Edit warring to remove "Controversies" section across multiple articles
Will someone please review ElKevbo's edits, as he is changing edits solely based upon his beliefs. He or she is starting an EDIT WAR to reflect his opinions of fact. If you will please review ElKevbo's edits history you will see the previous attempts at alleged bullying to get editors to conform to his norms and Edit Wars and warnings. The changes that were done are in accordance with WP guidelines. His feelings and likes and dislikes are not my concerns. I could care less about about additional opinions, as WPs cannot have it one way one some university pages and then pages with blatant controversies are hidden with history timelines.
