[edit] Name of the article and of the university

The title of this article, "Brigham Young University of Hawaii" is not the actual name of the university. On the university's web site, and in official publications, it is know as "Brigham Young University Hawaii" without "of" or any punctuation. When using the abbreviation "BYU" it is written "BYU Hawaii." I'd like to change this unless there is an objection. Please post your comments here. billlund 03:58, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revisit name

The official website of the school appears to use "BYU-Hawaii" with a hyphen, but only when it is abbreviated. I agree that the name of the article should not include the hyphen as it appears to not use it when spelled out entirely, but when abbreviated the standard seems to have changed from 2005 when the above comment was written.

According to the history section of the official website, the school is referred to as Brigham Young University-Hawaii spelled out fully and the shorter BYU-Hawaii multiple times. In the link you presented, I did not find where it was named spelled out fully or abbreviated without the hyphen. I think this change would be appropriate because it is consist with Brigham Young University–Idaho as well. --DerRichter (talk) 04:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

All the references to Brigham Young University Hawaii on the link given (and throughout the website and on written material) show the name without the hyphen when spelled out completely, and only includes the hyphen as BYU-Hawaii. Alanraywiki (talk) 05:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Timeline

The timeline needs extensive cleaning and maybe getting rid of the unimportant dates should be considered. VarunRajendran

I have deleted most of it because it was copied from http://www.byuh.edu/about/history.php. See WP:COPYVIO. Snocrates 22:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reorder sections

I have revised this article in my sandbox at User:Alanraywiki/sandbox. Basically I reordered the sections to be like that of the Provo campus. Please review it before I move it over here. Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 14:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Moved the new order to the article space. Alanraywiki (talk) 00:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox update

Just wanted to let everyone know that I updated the BYUH userbox to reflect both crimson and gold. You can insert the userbox into your userpage by typing {{User BYU-Hawaii}}. Enjoy! --Eustress (talk) 23:21, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Is there anyone at BYUH that could get some pictures to put on this page? Thanks. --Eustress (talk) 06:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
