[edit] Needs neutral tone

The introduction is not written in a neutral tone. The third and fifth paragraphs are egregious examples. They lack supporting sources and are rather vague in the claims. The fourth paragraph is better, though the date for the ABET evaluation needs to be included. WP:NPOV#Let the facts speak for themselves would be nice. YooChung 05:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

[edit] 'KAIST' Decides Not to Use Original Full Name

From the KAIST website:

"The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has decided to change its official name to "KAIST" in order to strengthen its identity and image as Korea's foremost academic and research institution and avoid being confused with research organizations with similar names.

KAIST's full name, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, will no longer be used officially. The decision was made through a series of faculty meetings.

Starting from Jan. 1, 2008, "KAIST" will be used as the university's official name in all documents, including research papers."

Because of this new development I moved the article back to KAIST. --EnOreg (talk) 10:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with article

• The article is more of a promotional text than an encyclopedia article.
• The organization is not consistent with the standard Wikipedia guidelines.
• The gallery is indiscriminate and unorganized.

Please address these problems before removing the {{advert}} and {{cleanup-restructure}} templates. Kiersta 08:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

While the organization is much improved, I can't but help think that it reads too much like a brochure. The tone itself is not neutral at all, and there are too many details that tend to hinder a general understanding of many sections. It does look like the information in the article could make for a good article when organized and written appropriately, although there's a sad lack of third party sources.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kaist-mid.jpg

Image:Kaist-mid.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
