[edit] Pictures

pics? no pics? too many pics?

feel free to improve on the formatting...

they are nice, but I wish they could be a bit bigger. UNM is a beautiful area... --fpo 02:54, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
agreed, but having trouble finding any. I could go take some when I get back to town, but that would require learning how to use my stupid camera... - Laz 03:11, 4 Aug 2005
Maybe move all 5 to the bottom. --fpo 00:10, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Sheesh, Zach, you could have given fair warning since all the pics were easily licensable.


Hey guys, if pictures are still an issue, I live near the campus and can take decent pics. You can look at my pic of the duck pond I just put up.

I put the smaller picture of the duck pond, that was in the same spot as mine is now, in the gallery. But now the gallery is bigger...Will that be an issue? It looks okay to me, but I just wanna be sure... PerryPlanet 06:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alumni cat created

Category:University of New Mexico alumni. Needs to be populated. -- Y not? 15:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article needs a "Research" section

Not sure how to best start it or where to get properly sourced information. There are a number of research centers, which could and should be mentioned in this section. Such as those listed here: http://www.unm.edu/research.html

[edit] David Banks-Richardson

He was listed in the alumni section as the discover of Uranus. Whatever he might have done to be notable, he most certainly did not discover Uranus, which was discovered by Herschel in the 18th century. If indeed he is a notable alumni. feel free to put him back, but mention the true reason for his notability. Wschart 03:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable people

I've tagged this section as needing additional sources. I will remove the names that are not sourced either here or in the linked-to Wikipedia articles. Thanks! →Wordbuilder (talk) 16:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
