[edit] College of Aviation

The College of Aviation isn't a branch campus, it's one of the 9 major colleges at WMU. I suggest it get a section on the page. Yvh11a (Talk • Contribs) 02:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

  • I'd like to point out the article defines the main campuses as being in Kalamazoo, so the Battle Creek campus does qualify as a branch campus by that definition. Also, referencing [1], it also says its a branch campus as well. So, perhaps you should just add a summary about all of the branch campuses instead, and mention the college of Aviation specifically there. Virtuald 00:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Student Groups

the only groups this section lists are "activist" groups who've got a beef with the way WMU spends money (and the college republicans). Is this really the only groups? Should we rename the section "Campus Activists"? --Ceas webmaster (talk) 19:05, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

  • That sounds like a good idea to me Virtuald (talk) 04:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bolding of former names

Looking at WP:MOS#First sentences you don't necessarily have to bold equivalent names. Normally, I would say bold them all because, like you say, they all redirect to WMU. However, they are all former names, not current names or abbreviations. I'm the one that originally bolded all the names, but after a few days, thought all the bolding in the first paragraph took away from the content. X96lee15 (talk) 14:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I was always under the impression that any name which redirected to an article was to be bolded so a person who typed in that name directly would know they've arrived at the right article, but I'm now drawing a blank as to where that appears in the MOS. Spicy (talk) 18:08, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I was looking for that too, but didn't see where it was exactly mentioned either. X96lee15 (talk) 18:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
