message: I'm tinkering the introductory section to clue people in that they may want the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I was wondering myself why this article is so skimpy. I'm also editing the pipes to read "UMass Amherst," etc. as "Amherst" and "Dartmouth" by themselves tend to make people think of other educational institutions. I keep thinking that UMass really ought to start a campus in Harvard, Massachusetts just to make the confusion as complete as possible. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:19, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

message: "Is this wording better?" Yes.
However, what it's lacking—and what I'd like to see—is something near the top of the page that positively encourages people to look at the UMass Amherst article, because, without trying to put down the other campuses, it is what people usually think of when they think of UMass... and it's where most of the information on UMass is.
I'm going to try something... Dpbsmith (talk) 18:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

message: On what grounds would anyone call UMass Boston a major research university? That's like calling New Hampshire a major center for the citrus industry. Living in Boston, I never hear of any research from UMB, except for some political polling. I need citations. I also need a citation for its being a “national model,” and I'm not counting the university’s own PR department.Bostoner (talk) 02:40, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
