GA potential

[edit]

This article is very close to being a GA. Here are the issues I've identified:

  • History is missing a lot of the early 20th century
  • get rid of that history timeline and add prose
  • fix up athletics section, likely trim much of the prose and add in the women's teams.
  • "student publications" subsubsection needs more citations
  • delete the MTV's student life section? not deserving of an entire section, but there isn't a good spot to summarize and put it into, if we want to keep any of it.
  • notable alumni/people is undersourced, so we just need to pull citations from their main articles. also might want to trim the list to the main few dozen.
  • get rid of the galleries of alumni.
  • remove "see also" articles that are mentioned in the page

Will work on it! I'd keep the gallery of alumni though, as it's in line with other university articles and provides a good overview for casual readers. Wikimapeditor (talk) 23:57, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
