Talk:History of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee

message: This article started with a cut-and-paste from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Wisconsin-Milwaukee&oldid=86192145#History to save material that had been added and subsequently removed as too detailed for the main article. Andrewa 19:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Saving some removed material

message: Another editor has twice now removed two very relevant links from the external links section. The reason appears to be that these external links are already cited inline in the text he has added to the article.
Wikipedia:Citing sources#Embedded HTML links reads in part In the References section, you should also list a full citation. Hopefully, this will also be done in due course. Andrewa 06:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We do, but I haven't the time to write it. Can somebody put in in the "articles needed" queue? --Orange Mike 15:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, so I wrote it anyway. Please examine and critique, if you're interested.--Orange Mike 14:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources

message: The mass copying of the remaining history section from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has led to a rather strangely structured article. For example, there's now a section headed University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which is presumably the subject of the whole of this article, not just this section. I don't think it's enough just to rename this section, a whole refactor is needed IMO. Andrewa 19:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What I said is that UW-Milwaukee was created by the merger between the old University of Wisconsin and the former Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee in 1956. The history of Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee dates back to the Milwaukee State Normal School founded in 1880. These are all accurate facts. I didn't specifically pointed out that the history of UM-Milwaukee only started in 1956. I really don't see what you are arguing about. Miaers 03:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't want to argue. Agree these are facts. But you said below I think we need to consider the physical existence of UWM when we talk about its history. What does this mean? Andrewa 09:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

text: College articles customarily start with the infobox; also, the seal shows the history of the University through the three dates. Or do you think we should drop the infobox, since it is more suited to the University's main article? (You could be right.) --Orange Mike 15:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Section structure

message: I've put a citation needed tag on the sentence University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was founded in the belief that Milwaukee needs a great public university to become a great city.
Hopefully, this is a well-known and significant quote; If so a citation could save it. Otherwise it's pure academic boosterism (which it rather reeks of anyway). Andrewa 19:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is just a common sense. I don't think it needs citation or has anything to do with academic boosterism. Miaers 16:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is boosterism; sounds like a quote from somebody. If it is a quote, then source it; if not, it's boosterism. --Orange Mike 00:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps it's a quote from Miaers. Is he citable (;-> do you think? Andrewa 03:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation needed

message: I've removed (again) a number of duplicate wikilinks per the Wikipedia:Glossary guidelines, which say that to de-wikify or un-wikify is: "To remove (de-link) a wikification of an article. This can be done to remove self-references or excessive common-noun Wikification (also known as 'sea of blue')." Some of the UWM articles have a 'sea of blue' problem and I've been trying to tidy it up. Please don't revert such tidyings-up. --Orange Mike 00:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Support this. Sorry if we got our wires crossed at one stage. Andrewa 08:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: This UWM IP (apparently a fixed one) keeps purging pre-1956 information from all UWM articles. I'm reverting him/her, but wish I could get some help and feedback. --Orange Mike 19:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.
