[edit] GA Review

I have passed this article as it meets all the requirements. Vikrant Phadkay 16:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • The schools and colleges section is really just a listing of all of the schools and colleges at the university, which can really be obtained from the school's website and not really necessary for an encyclopedia article. Every university in america has a biology, chemistry, and english department, so what's the importance of listing them here? I think that a section entitled 'academics' would be more applicable here. Provide information about the major schools (arts & sciences, education, nursing, etc), some info on their history, and some details on some of the outstanding programs within the school. What academic programs excel and are nationally or internationally recognized at Seton Hall?
Hope this helps editors improve the article. Dr. Cash 19:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
This article is on hold pending the improvement of the article. The hold shall last for no more than seven days. If issues are addressed in that time, the article will retain it's GA, otherwise it will be delisted from WP:GA. Regards, Lara♥Love 15:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

1. Well written?: There could be more on the structure.
2. Factually accurate?: Using the link checker and checking several of the sources, it seems to be well verified.
3. Broad in coverage?: Yes.
4. Neutral point of view?: No qualms about this.
5. Article stability? Of course.
6. Images?: Probably the strongest point.
Overall:

Nicely done. Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 22:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John DeFrancis

I was surprised to see no reference to John DeFrancis—arguably America's greatest living sinologist (now in his 98th year). Many of his pathbreaking texts in Chinese language studies were published while he was at SHU. Could someone please research the details & include him in this article? --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 12:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid I haven't got access to the resources necessary to document his time at SHU. I can, however, tell you that his series Beginning Chinese, Intermediate Chinese and Advanced Chinese were written in the 1960s while he was at SHU. They are dedicated to John B. Tsu, Director of the Inst. of Far Eastern Studies, SHU, "without whose initiative and support these books would never have been written". The series "was developed pursuant to a contract between the US Office of Education and Seton Hall University". I hope that's enough to get you started! --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 21:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seton WorldWide

I don't think this should be categorized under the academic units, as it gets far less attention compared to the other academic entities; in addition, the section below refers to the Whitehead School as the eighth and LATEST unit of the University. I don't want to remove it from the article, because it is relevant, but I think it should be placed elsewhere in the article. Spartacusprime (talk) 19:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • While I may agree that SWW deserves less attention than say, the college of arts and sciences, it still is an academic unit of the university and should be listed there. The reason there is text following about the whitehead school is because that is the only unit which currently has information about it for the section, which, as a whole is "academics" and rather pity at best. Ideally, if you were to have time, it would be a great help if you, or another editor, could write some copy for the academics sections, which describes the, undoubtedly complex, structure of degree programs at shu and some demographics associated with them.Mystache (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
    • I don't think it's necessary to go into detail about the demographics of the degree programs. I'll change the wording of the section in question to reflect that the Whitehead School is the ninth entity as opposed to the eighth. Spartacusprime (talk) 20:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
