[edit] North Carolina State University

It is extremely well written, good picture use and a very interesting article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AceKingQueenJack (talk • contribs) .

  • Object; the second half of the article needs citations too. --Spangineeres (háblame) 05:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment There's lots of blank space at #Chief_executives. Can it be fixed? Thanks. WP 08:33, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. For the following reasons:
    • Large parts of the article are unreferenced. (Student life and Campus).
    • "People" section is list heavy with little prose. (See University of Michigan for preferred style)
    • Stubby sections. (Student government, Atheletics, etc).
    • Standard appendices don't follow Wikipedia:Guide to layout.
    • Fair-use images like NCSU Technician header.PNG and Newblocks.gif need a detailed fair use rationale.
    • Apart from these objections, I feel that providing external links to each and every department, and detailing all degrees in them doesn't help the article. Also, too many red-links in the template at the bottom is distracting. The lead is also a bit short for an article of this size. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 12:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Object per above, plus:
  1. lead is too short and doesn't sumamrize article
  2. longitude is wrong, it is west longitude, not east.
  3. ref format is not consistent, esp numbers 5 and 17. Rlevse 15:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Object per above, plus: endowment needs citation, history is very very short, alumni section doesn't follow format set by previous featured articles, see Duke University and look at its format. KnightLago 02:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
