Talk:Florida State University/Archive 2

message: Hi all - I've been watching this article for a while now, and have a few suggestions.  It seems as though the article has far too much info in it - it seems as though the history section and the departmental sections deserve their own pages at this point.  It just seems as though that the article's contents are far to specific for the main article.  Second, and this is just a personal opinion (and I know ascetics aren't that important for an encyclopedia), but the article is kinda drab - all the black and white pictures right up front - its kinda ugly.  A few current pictures of the University could punch it up a bit.  Just a few thoughts!  Hps05
* Thanks for the feedback.  We just lost a lot of great color pix due to the apparently very strict Wikipedia copyright policy on graphics.  I'm looking for replacements and the historic pix are really meant as filler at this time.  The article could possibly be split into separate pages; there's a lot more history and graphics that could be added to such a section.  Each college could also have a lot more detail; but all things come in time.Sirberus 13:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article

message: There is a mini edit-war going on in the Physics section concerning whether the Physics Department "operates," "manages" or simply "contributes to" the NHMFL. It seems that users who are affiliated with FSU Physics favour the former two terms, whereas users presumably from (an)other department(s) favour the latter. In fact, the FSU Physics Department does indirectly manage the lab: the NHMFL Director, his predecessor, and the recently-emeritus Chief Scientist, JR Schrieffer, are all senior FSU physics faculty. The chances of anyone from another discipline heading the Lab are slim. Additionally, most of the Lab's own staff scientists are physicists. Therefore, any attempt to suggest that FSU physics merely 'contributes' to the main Maglab campus is incorrect: although multidisciplinary, the NHMFL is  primarily a physics lab. On the other hand, care should be taken not to remove the qualifying statements about the multidisciplinary nature of the Lab or its operation being "through the Director, who is Physics faculty". (I'm not a Maglab user, by the way.) C60 07:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've noticed an extensive amount of mentions of football in the historical parts of the article. FSU is not just about football and any mention of athletics should stay under the athletics section.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by A s williams (talk • contribs).
*I agree. Football does need to go to the athletics section.Sirberus 21:02, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Good article nomination on hold

message: I am passing the article on GA review:
:GA review (see here for criteria)
#It is reasonably well written.
#:a (prose):  b (MoS): 
#It is factually accurate and verifiable.
#:a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
#It is broad in its coverage.
#:a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
#It follows the neutral point of view policy.
#:a (fair representation):  b (all significant views): 
#It is stable.
#:
#It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
#:a (tagged and captioned):  b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales): 
#Overall: 
#:a Pass/Fail: 
To elaborate:
1. Is the article well written? Just barely above passing level, but yes.  In this respect:
:(a) Prose are serviceable but not always crisp. Grammar is fine with few exceptions. 
:(b) Does it comply with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, jargon, words to avoid, fiction, and list incorporation? Two lists could be better incorporated, and some subsection are short and may benefit from combination. This is somewhat subjective, and, per GA Guidelines, "Although the entire Manual of Style should be followed, it is not completely necessary at [GA] level."
2. Is the article factually accurate and verifiable? Yes.
:(a) Does it provides references to sources used -- absolutely yes. 
:(b) Does it cites reliable sources for quotations and for material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, preferably using inline citations for longer articles -- yes. For example, the streaking claim may be challenged, but it cites a reliable source. Also, IMO, the article would benefit from more citation from books rather than relying so heavily on online reference sources -- but that's one person's opinion.
:(c) Does it contains no original research -- No issues.
3. Is the article broad in its coverage? Yes:
:(a) Does it addresses the major aspects of the topic -- yes. 
:(b) Does it stay focused on the topic without going into unnecessary details (see summary style) -- some details are questionable. There is perhaps too much detail on student activities and clubs, and perhaps too many instances of  academic rankings. 
4. Is the article neutral; that is, it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias? Yes, although there is an occasional air of bragging.
5. Is the article stable; that is, it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of an ongoing edit war? Yes.
6. Are images it contains appropriate to the subject, with succinct captions and acceptable copyright status? Yes.  
Summary comment: article passes all GA critera, although it is borderline for style and focus. I recommend that editors continue to improve the prose and ensure compliance with all elements of the  Manual of Style. 
Good work! Majoreditor 03:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Passed GA Review

message: Congrats on GA status. This article is coming in at 115kb which is indigestible in a single sitting. I added tags where it was obvious that the material should be split off into its own sister page (History, Colleges). I just copied the entire history section to the new History of Florida State University as an example -- but someone needs to trim off the fat on the main FSU page here. I also went through and added a few fact tags (I'm a real stickler when it comes to academic boosterism) around the rankings and student body section. Let me know what I can do to help. Madcoverboy 02:14, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The History section can stand alone. IMO the sections on individual colleges aren't developed enough to spin off as their own articles.  However, one could create a single article on FSU colleges. Sirberus, your thoughts? Majoreditor 12:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: See below, but I made each its own webpage. There's no reason that every page couldn't include a list of faculty and research programs -- information which would quickly overload a single page containing all of them. Alternatively, you could create a List of colleges at Florida State University and just have main articles linking off of that to the larger ones (Law, Medicine, Arts & Sciences, etc). Madcoverboy 17:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of these university elements already have their own pages, so they'll need to be incorporated and redundancies eliminated.  I agree that some other sections need to be associated until appropriate material can be gathered for each own page.  Thanks for the help!  Sirberus 18:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article length 

message: I just finished up a major reorganization of the article based upon the WikiProject Universities outline style, moving all the college information off to sister pages. I attempted to add a rudimentary section on Organization and Campus, but as I have no experience with the school, I am just going off of what I can find about 2 pages deep on the appropriate websites. These should be expanded-- organization should include more about the relationship between the administration and faculty senate, reporting relationships between the colleges and administration, student governing bodies, codes of conduct, etc. Campus should be much larger and include major buildings (stadium, libraries, housing) as well as a section on changes associated with the master plan. I also moved and renamed the "Alumni" and "faculty" sister pages to List of Florida State University alumni and List of Florida State University faculty as the "notable" designation is redundant. I also updated the navigation box to reflect these changes. Madcoverboy 17:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the work. Majoreditor 17:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So far, so good.  I corrected some of the figures and added a reference.  I have long envisioned developing a comprehensive set of pages for the university but now is as good a time as any.  Looks nice. Sirberus 18:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just went through and implemented cite templates for all the references to ensure consistency. I believe a previous editor had used ref name tags to name every cite, but never actually linked back to them, so the vast majority were just wasted text as it was never referred to again. However, for those references that had one or more citations in the body, I did keep this implementation, although I did scale back on some of the naming. I tried to catch as many errors as I could with regard to the syntax or formatting of the cite templates, but I'm sure there are more hiding down there in the references that I am just too bleary eyed to see right now. Madcoverboy 20:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Understood.  It does get to be work when parsing all the plain text.  Sirberus 21:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Reorganization

message: Now that the history section has become a separate article, perhaps the amount here should be drastically cut back , in accordance with WP summary style--normally a single paragraph only  is left. DGG (talk) 23:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: why are the colors red and tan? why not gold? and if gold is too light, how come it isnt used as one of the school colors, tan is still used there too! LightSpeed3 18:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  colors on table 

message: Hi there, folks.  There is a discussion currently underway at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities about the use of non-standard infotables on this and a few other articles on universities in Florida. I and a few other editors would support standardising to .  That infobox has widespread consensus among editors and is used on several thousand articles.  There are a few other issues: to be honest, I'm not sure that I like the use of strong colors, and using a non-standard infobox will likely prevent this article from achieving FA status.  Editors here may wish contribute the the discussion at the WP:UNI talk page. — mholland (talk) 17:14, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As stated in the discussion linked to above, readability and usability trump "school spirit" in an encyclopedia article.  Encyclopedia articles that "stand out" are not always a good thing.  --ElKevbo 03:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

message: In the introduction section, the article states "For 2017, U.S. News & World Report ranked Florida State as the 33rd best public university in the United States." It then cites a U.S. News & World Report website that ranks Florida state as 43rd, not 33rd. Please make this correction. Dougmartin05 (talk) 19:46, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: . One problem with adding archived versions of self-updating pages like that is that people might click the archived link and get out-of-date information. If you hover over the little number 18 and click the link that says "the original," that should take you to a version of the page that lists Florida State as #33 (and no school as #43 because a bunch of previous rankings had ties).
