The Header Dispute   Since theres a recently started disagreement perhaps I should start if of here this edit  what  has made claims it to be Moved line about prestige to appropriate section where compared to other schools Does not belong in opening paragraph No other University wikipedia listing has such a proclamation or statement on prestige only to end up getting reverted by ElKevbo  My question is this Should this be removed from the lead or should be integrated in another section of the article      See Harvards treatment in other Wikipedias with regard to prestige and Boosterism in Lead two and three sections above respectively    I agree that we should be vigilant to ensure that college and university articles dont unduly praise their subjects particularly since it can quickly get out of hand and become meaningless  But there really are a handful of institutions for whom their prestige is so wellknown and widespread that it has become one of their defining characteristics  Harvard University is one of those institutions  Its essential for readers to understand that Harvard University is one of the most prestigious universities in the world  Thats what so many people know about it and why its alumni are disproportionately represented among the political and economic elite  Indeed its why so many colleges universities and other institutions proclaim themselves to be the Harvard of the region category etc And please note that we are not claiming that Harvard is the most prestigious the best or anything else  We are merely documenting the widespread and essentialtoknow perception shared by many people     Agreed completely and ElKevbo you are right in claiming that we are not claiming that Harvard isnt the most prestigious as that sounds a bit to peacocky for my own taste and probably even yours I think Megapixel will need to understand this Ive noted that ever since I placed some controversial if peacocky text to the main header about Big Three heshe has been repeatedly disagreeing with whatever comes in the headers about the Harvard Yale Princeton articles       Some one has changed it back once again this editor crows to the world I suggest the accolades are reserved for the US rather than the world or better yet remove it altogether it is unseemly    I suggest that if you dont know that Harvard is considered one of the worlds most prestigious universities then youre incompetent to edit this article  But to placate you I added two more references that explicitly and directly support the assertion  Can we move on now or should we continue this pointless discussion     Lets end this discussion Done If theres more and more reversions on this we risk getting this article fully protected and admins to only edit it       Appreciate the comments on this topic To Abhijays point above I am vigilant of disproportionate attributes featured in the header Please see the Yale talk thread to see how someone tried putting in a Big Three comment in the top header that couldnt be referenced in the last  years outside of football The two additional sources that were added are great and appreciated but this gets to another point in that those articles reference several schools as the most prestigious Should those other schools top  top  also get a similarly cited blurb that proclaims them as among the most prestigious in their header I think thats the fair treatment question that should be raised to ensure consistency No other school has a similar grandiose opening as Harvard when numerous surveys have shown that there are a select few other Universities that hold comparable prestige
