[edit] Library?
When did all the library info (note the previous pages, which had a lengthy paragraph now cut down) get added, and why? It looks unbalanced and, frankly a bit weird.
Can we determine other areas where AUBG is innovative within Bulgaria, and add a section that would include the library's innovative role, to get more balance and more accurately portray the university's larger innovative role? Or expand the library information and move it to a sub-section?
After 6 months, this has not been done, and I have deleted the library reference. Although I agree that the library is innovative, this seems uneven and unbalanced and a deliberate PR plug. The AUBG article needs to be expanded with more discussion of the universities' role. I also highly recommend that this be done by a neutral third party. Suggested areas would include: the liberal arts tradition in Bulgaria, teaching methods, the library system (modern techniques, open access, etc.), the residential campus, the use of co-curricular activities, etc. This should be broadly descriptive, not a plug for one part of the univeristy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.17.236 (talk) 02:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] SES
Hey, person at 74.134.95.188 in Illinois (Is that you, J.F.? :P). There is an SES major at AUBG. Yes, it's an abomination, true, but well, if it's there, let it be there. :D
Since no classes were offered in SES this year, it seems dubious if it's a major or not. There's students majoring in English, but that doesn't mean there's actually an English major...
[edit] Funding?
How much funding is actually done for the university from OSI these days? Is this actually worth a specific mention, really?
[edit] Unencylcopedic
There's a lot of unsource opinion in the article. If the reference to drinking/partying is present at all, it should at least be footnoted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tomhormby (talk • contribs) 00:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC).
That's random vandalism. If nothing else, yon vandal at 83.228.20.18 should learn how to spell. It's "class," not "classs." 87.126.152.187 22:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)P. Chaos.
[edit] Lock for Editing!
The article has been repeatedly vandalized by AUBG students.
I propose that it is locked for editing by unregistered and newly-registered users.

[edit] Vandalism!
How do you lock articles - there has been more vandalism lately...
I am serious. I can fix the page when I notice such interferences, but I can't always stay here like a guard dog.

- It would be better just to ban the user who vandalizes the page instead of locking the page being vandalized. Perhaps an admin will notice? Tomhormby 23:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

- It's not users - it is IPs - student IPs to be exact. What a shame...

I requested Wikipedia ban the most egregious IP, but they respond with the boilerplate "we're the exciting encyclopedia you can edit!" e-mail. Heh. My SES deletion tendencies aside, the freakish homophobic or hyper-nationalistic vandalism that pops up is indeed annoying (and I've been editing it out fairly regularly when I catch it, too.)
-
- I've asked for the article to be locked, but according to them "there is not much activity on the page." Well, what do they want? Hordes of marauders desecrating Easton's holy name?

There was a flurry in February, but not much lately. And compared to the national history pages, vandalism here is limited. In the past month, my bullshit link is about it. <Shrug>
