[edit] Any other wikipedians go to the UofW?
I'm thinking this page probably needs some expansion. I'll get on it eventually, but feel free to help! CriminalSaint 01:43, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I'm an alumnus (B.Comm, '80) so I've added the U to my watchlist. While I'm here - under Famous People there's somebody by the name of 'John Nehmetallah' listed, and I can't find much of anything about such a person. I'm inclined to delete his name. PKT 14:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like Mikerussell took care of Mr. Nehmetallah for us! PKT 12:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History just copied from website?
I think the entire History section is just taken from the University's own webpage. Probably should be paraphrased. I added two photos I took while visiting the campus recently too. --Mikerussell 04:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ad-copy material
Who wrote the first paragraph of the reputation section? The bias is terrible. How should we fix this? (Currently a Windsor student) -- unsigned comment was posted at 23:39, 7 March 2007 by anonymous user at 24.57.16.53
- You go in and fix it, which I just did. PKT 14:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think the above poster was also referring to all ad-copy intro, which had nothing to do with the school's reputation. I removed it entirely. 24.57.1.51
[edit] pro-Windsor?
This whole page seems to be quite pro-Windsor, and although I'm sure we are all proud of our university, let's be a little levelheaded here. The bias seeps through. -- unsigned comment was posted at 16:56, 2007 March 16 by anonymous user at 72.38.232.164
- This is true. The article appears very biased. More contact information such as phone number, postal code etc. should also be added. 72.39.54.224 (talk) 17:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- In addition, Tuition approximations etc. may prove useful.72.39.54.224 (talk) 19:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Endowment
The first addition needs to be the endowment.
Not listing it at all is far worse than listing a modest sum.
Windsor's bane has been its inability to cope with the truth of its state of affairs. If it could do this well, it could flourish 'to greater heights' more easily, as it were haha.
[edit] Reputation
This whole section sounds apologetic and defending of the university rather than presenting the facts. There is no mention of the Maclean's rating. Except for the mention on the Gourman Report, the section is merely an explanation on what rankings are and how to interpret them. Myself being an alumnus I must say that this is clearly in violation of NPOV. SWik78 (talk) 14:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- I removed the Reputation section from this article. It served no useful purpose in explaining the reputation of the University of Windsor and cited only one report (Gourman) of its ranking which happens to be one that is generally not accepted as accurate.
