Thanks. Just trying to improve the project page. Jaxfl 16:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Higher learning projects

Let's set some goals for improving the pages on Jacksonville's local colleges and universities. Basically for (relatively speaking) major schools we have UNF, JU, FCCJ, EWC, Jones College and Trinity Baptist College. My recommendations would be...

  • UNF - More pictures to show a few major buildings, the landscape, etc. Possibly start a few sections about individual colleges and go from there. The article is already well-organized, but needs more substance.
  • JU - Basically the same as JU.
  • FCCJ - Needs organization more than anything. Also, we need pictures of the far-flung campuses, such as NAS and Cecil.
  • EWC - Needs both pictures, and enough substance to require organization.
  • Jones College - Same as EWC
  • Trinity Baptist College - Same as UNF; someone has done some good work on this, but it lacks any pictures or logos.

Since higher ed has so many components, improving these articles will add quite a bit of synergy to other areas. For example, the NAS and Cecil articles will automatically become better with the extra content and links, and we can take pictures for multiple articles at the same time. Many of the campuses also have programs that can be referenced in other areas - for example, expanding information on UNF's Fine Arts Building (and the jazz program) will provide a destination for references to arts in the main Jacksonville article, or help to justify a "Culture of Jacksonville" article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JaxDaily (talk • contribs) 05:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Include adjacent counties?

I don't want to be accused of Duval imperialism :) but would it be appropriate to add adjacent counties, some or all, to Project JAX? I was working on Nassau County, Florida and thought it might be a good way to attract attention to the article. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 01:59, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Our project page does state that we have have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to metropolitan Jacksonville. By definition, that means Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Nassau, and Baker. I see nothing wrong with doing this - if we're going to improve articles relating to the Jacksonville area, the surrounding counties probably should be included. Jaxfl 22:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UNF

I've expanded the article to add a section for the library and added a photo. I'm going to add some more photos and get a picture of the Arena. Hopefully I'll have the colleges expanded soon. UNF has a page with facts and info on each. nichos
