• Support Looks good to me. It would be nice to see it as a FA since its 100th anniversary is this year. Amalas =^_^= 18:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
• Support a very strong article. --Xtreambar 01:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Object. Neutral. There are some picture layout issues, and the use of the colored quote boxes is distracting, the quotes should be woven into the text of the article itself instead of separated into boxes. RyanGerbil10 03:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

The quotes are boxes appear in a current Feature Article, History of Michigan State University, and the inclusion of quotes boxes my be an individual style as opposed to FA criteria. Can you review the Michigan State article and possibly its FAC archives to see that this was not an objection during its candidacy. thanks you for your input. Ccson 05:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I have rearranged the pictures. Ccson 06:24, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm still not fond of the quote boxes, but I won't object to the nomination solely because of them, however, it's also not a full support vote, simply one of contented ambivalence. RyanGerbil10 20:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I have to agree that the quote boxes are slightly NPOV, or at least a bit unencyclopedic. I would fully support without them. RyanGerbil10 01:25, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Quoteboxes have been deleted. Jtmichcock 01:45, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

In that case, I Support. RyanGerbil10 03:30, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose on the basis of quoteboxes violating WP:NPOV. The article's tone has become quite a bit more encyclopedic, though. Tuf-Kat 23:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Question: Would you support if the Quoteboxes were removed? Jtmichcock 23:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll support now. Tuf-Kat 01:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
