message: Could this page be divided into an alumni page and a faculty page?  It is 95 kilobytes, which is larger than preferred. -- Gmosaki 06:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Also, I've inserted a key for academic units. This will clarify to which academic unit each alumnus is associated with, as well as discard the need to create separate alumni list for each academic unit article. PentawingTalk 21:26, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  divide into two pages 

message: This list is over 200kB. One way to cut it back to a more manageabkle size is to reduce ALL comments to a single line. There are many listed graduates with descriptions that are more than 10 lines, even though the same graduate already has an article with full details. This is unnecessary duplication.

replies: text: And I just cut the article in half by splitting it based on occupation, since there's already sections based on that criterion. Perhaps other sections could be split off in a similar manner. Bryan 09:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recommendation 

message: I have split off four articles from this main one.  The four sub articles can be found at:
*List of University of Michigan arts alumni
*List of University of Michigan business alumni
*List of University of Michigan law and government alumni
*List of University of Michigan sporting alumni
Hope this is better.  The main article's now down to 50k, from 175 or so.  The articles could still do with some assertive editing (for example, expunging all the red links and waffle, but it's a start. Proto::type 15:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think that the Phil Power linked from the Marshall Scholarship list is the right one.  See http://www.giving.umich.edu/leadersbest/spring2006/difference.htm for the right one. Parkerdr 04:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The infoboxes for various categories (e.g., Nobel Prize, NASA, Turing Award) seem out of place. The infoboxes properly belong in the articles for those topics, not in this article that just happens to mention them, and I believe their presence here is more confusing than enlightening. I could see replacing them with just an illustrative image (e.g., a photo of a Nobel Prize), but even that does not seem to add much value (less than including images of representative alumni in each category). I propose removing all of the infoboxes for external topics from this article. Sarcasmboy (talk) 05:54, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
