Talk:St. Francis Xavier University

message: I added the university info box and I'm working at removing the promotional POV. i rewrote the campus renewal using neutral language. I'll keep chipping at rewriting the article with a NPOV.--BoyoJonesJr 22:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The citation link for the endowment does not work anymore. I found a new link, but the stat is $80 million, not $100 million. Here it is: http://www.stfx.ca/news/view/3825/ Should I go ahead and change it?--Kylestewart98 (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Is this StFX a Jesuit university? Or was it at one point? If so, this should be noted. If not, how did it get its name?
* I am pretty sure that it wasn't/isn't, I will check on that. I'm not sure where the name originates.--BoyoJonesJr 22:35, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I believe that the description of the X-Ring logo is a sensible thing to be with the X-Ring history, the logo is part of that history. Now the only reason that I can see  for removing that section (beyond vandalism) is the mention of the ‘’Discover X’’ cd-rom. I took the mention out so there is nothing in there that isn’t common knowledge so I think it should stay on the page.
* Please stop removing the X-Ring logo section. There is no reason for deleting it off the page so unless you can give me a good reason 141.109.34.17, stop doing it. I am very close to blocking you from editing. If you don't like what the section says than edit it, don't just delete it. that's it.--BoyoJonesJr 20:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I am considering returning this article to it's original title St. Francis Xavier University. I really don't know why it was redirected to the current title when the word Saint is never spelled out in the official name, its always St. The article St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador was not redirected to Saint John's, Newfoundland and Labrador so i think that the same principle should apply here.--BoyoJonesJr 17:29, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did it this morning, now the title of the article is accurate--BoyoJonesJr 18:27, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I've created a userbox for alumni, students, staff, and whomever else is affiliated with St. F.X. You can add it to your user page if you want. The name for the userbox is Template:User_STFX, and can be added to your userpage by including the following text:

If anybody has an issue with this, please let me know. -- Pbfurlong 14:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Its worth noting that academically StFX is considered second best in the country to Mount Allison University due to Mount Allison's strong track record, especially their Rhodes Scholars. If you're going to bother with the MacLean's "rankings," which are discarded as inaccurate by most institutions, you should do prospective students a favor and note this. I myself go to SMU. I get the feeling that the individual who changed my edit is from StFX, and is operating with quite a bias. There is a reason Mount A has crushed StFX in terms of Rhodes Scholars...MedievalScholar 00:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: alumni support is misleading as well, as the university's actual total endowment is poor in comparison with other institutions in Canadian, both larger and smaller. MedievalScholar 14:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: endowment

message: I've noticed that the article has been flipping between versions, without anyone actually asking it too. Is this a normal? I checked the history and everything, doesnt make much sense. It is very annoying...like one second it will say one thing, then i leave for 10 seconds and its back to another version, then i try again 10 seconds later and its back to another version, without anyone actually going into the "history" or "edit this page" option.

thread_title: Article Acting Strangely

message: I removed the reference to 'Mount Allison's 46 Rhodes Scholars' as it is irrelevant to an article about StFX. I removed the reference to 'The University's actual total endowment' as it was worded in a pov manner + the endowment is listed in the infobox. I added a reference to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council point. I changed "Academic recognition" to "Academics" to sound less pov. I also updated the enrollment numbers--BoyoJonesJr 19:39, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Summary

message: Shouldn't a section be added discussing some of the History of St. FX, such as BurMac, The Misogynistic "Prank" from 2005, Campus Expansion, and so on, and so forth? This article does seem to be an ad for St. FX, when it should be a factual article. ArickIdle 16:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: History of St. FX

message: I deleted the section listing every department because it cluttered the page and provides information best left in a link. I was unsure of how best to fix this, perhaps by providing an external link to the academics page at stfx.ca? Feel free to add a link or reference to a departmental listing. --Theglowpt4 (talk) 04:06, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

message: It's called Xavier University and the students are called the X-Men?  This seems too incredible to be a coincidence.  What's the connection to Stan Lee's comic book superheroes?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.215.78.126 (talk) 00:18, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

message: To my opinion the section about the Covid-outbreak is not relevant for this article. Thousands of companies had outbreak, many bigger then this one. There is no data supplied that this is a disaster (as in deaths, ICU etc.). Removal seems a sensible option. The Banner talk 13:09, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
