Talk:List of colleges and universities in Florida

message: If there's no opinion, I plan on adding the city names as follows: University of Florida, Gainesville
Hope I get some kind of response.  I haven't seen this page edited too often. - Bladeswin 00:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: You can modify it to: Keiser University. It seems an article on the university does not exist, so you can create it! I know you were interested in that, so feel free to make a page for the university. Please read WP:MOS, WP:NPOV, WP:RS and other relevant policies to assist you when you make the page. You also might want to consider looking at the articles for other universities to get an idea of how the page should be formatted. Nishkid64 (talk) 18:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  I've noticed 

message: I have been thinking about the list of Florida colleges and universities for some time, and am planning to spend a few hours editing it. These are some of the issues I hope to address.
There are many small schools which are not on the list (some of which, no doubt, are quite unaccredited, and should, perhaps, not be added).
Virtually all of the schools have websites, and it seems useful to include links to these with the school names.
The article is weak in terms of references, and only one of the works cited as a web link is functional (today).
The organizational scheme is certainly usable, but some of the categories overlap (i.e., Private and Public liberal arts colleges vs. Private Colleges and Universities) and some duplicate entries exist. A non-overlapping organization is needed.
Some parts of the list include school locations, but most don't.
With this many possible changes, it will probably be simpler to do this on a sandbox page, and then replace the whole article. If you would like to help, please go here and dive right in! (At the moment, though, all that is there is a replica of the original page.) Tim Ross (talk) 13:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just replaced the old article with an expanded version. Very little has been deleted, other than a couple of schools whose existence I was unable to verify. I failed to add the expected "many small schools"; in truth the coverage of the article was excellent. Most of the effort went into reorganizing and adding locations and weblinks.

message: American David Livingstone University of Florida has no accreditation reecognized by the United States. It isn't eligible for student loan dollars; to contact them, you have to email a @gmail email account. Should we be including non-accredited, small "schools" on this list?

replies: text: I quite agree. But I think there are more. deisenbe (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

text: I have since removed everything that wasn't accredited by an agency recognized by the DOE. There are a handful that I have not been able to verify, especially religious schools, because one of the primary religious accreditation agencies does not have a website.

message: It the book  Dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen is described as having studied at Orange Park, Florida in 1938. I can't find other sources that describe an institution of higher learning by that name. Fortis College is a private college in that county today but that didn't exist back then. I would like to make a Wikidata item for this college but only its name is a bit too little to go by. 1Veertje (talk) 08:31, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
