This page needs lots of clean up. It is basically a long list of lists. It also reeks of boosterism. --Thunder 15:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

It also fails to explain what "East Carolina" even means. And there's no disambiguation in case someone creates a page for that term. 12.107.67.3 14:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

ack.. small font.. hard to see. Pulseczar 12:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

hmm.. gone now.. must have been a fluke, as I see no one has editted it since I wrote that a minute ago. Pulseczar 12:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources and cleanup

There appears to be a lack of citation to the information contained in this article. Sections needing citation and cleanup include: Main Campus Statistics, Research/University Facts, History, Future of East Carolina, Student Demographics, Greek Life, Alumni Association and Notable Alumni, Athletics, Traditions and Events, Administration.

I'll try to sit down and contribute to these sections and give them a unified layout with other Universities while utilizing the Manual of Style

Added a notes section and the ability to use the <ref> tag for future citation of material

[edit] The East Carolinian

The East Carolinian is a newspaper that is independent of the university. While students run it, it is not funded by the university. I see no problem with there being a link to it on the university's wiki page, there is no need to merge the two, as other university papers are not merged with their respective universities either. And I say all of this as a member of the paper's editorial board. Liz 06:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is the citing problem fixed?

I went through and corrected any non-cited numbers and facts. Is their any other place that needs to be cited? also is there a better place to put the ref cite than on the headline? if so please fix or tell me how to fix it. thanx —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PGPirate (talk • contribs) 01:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] What does the "ECU umbrella" need next?

I am an contributer to all thing ECU. What articles needs to be created or expanded upon? I am thinking a "History of East Carolina University" next. Any other ideas?

[edit] Failed GA

Failed GA because: not enough refs and they need standard format, the lead does not summarize the article adequately, and too listy.Rlevse 01:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References Help

I need help making the References section more ledge able. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PGPirate (talk • contribs) 04:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] GA comment

After a quick review of the article, it needs fair use rationales for the logos, reformatting of the citations, and the inline citations go directly after the punctuation. I'd recommend fixing these, or the article may be failed. --Nehrams2020 09:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

  • I think i fixed all of those recommendations.PGPirate 18:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Review

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is well written.
    a (prose): b (structure): c (MoS): d (jargon):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (inline citations): c (reliable): d (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
  5. It is stable.
  6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
  7. Overall:
    a Pass/Fail:


On hold, it has a few issues that need to be addressed. Though the formatting of the references isn't too pretty, that really isn't something for which I can exclusively denounce the article. After the lead, the article is composed entirely of lists, some of these sections need to be converted to prose in some fashion. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.

[edit] GA Failed for being on hold past deadline

I am failing this article as the hold has been on for 10 days, and has not been acted upon. Please feel free to renominate this article once problems have been addressed. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 04:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
