Talk:Prairie View A&M University

message: I thought the A&M no longer stood for Agricultural and Mechanical? This is the case for Texas A&M. After all, Prairie View offers degrees in business, engineering, juvenile justice, nursing, etc. These fields would not be offered in an agricultural and mechanical school. Thus, I think the article's name should be changed to "Prairie View A&M University." Prairie view is the best school in all of texas--Blueag9 06:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:PVAM.PNG

message: It's been proposed to create a new article for Prairie View A&M Panthers (as I write this it is a re-direct) to cover their athletic programs.  This is a good move from my point of view, as many colleges and universities have similar articles.  Prairie View has been active in sports for over a century and it should be no problem to create a quality article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

*Suarez-Collins Hall: http://web.archive.org/web/19970204221539/http://pvamu.edu/suarez.html
Alexander, Buchanan, and Holley have been demolished. Others may have been as well.
http://web.archive.org/web/20010412103923/http://129.207.85.43/Housing.htm - Shows that Drew, Banks, and University Village were the active ones after 1999 and before 2000
At http://www.pvamu.edu/Include/Space_mgmt/Campus_Master_Plan/1-Existing.ai.pdf (map of existing buildings) the following are still listed:
* "Banks Hall," "Drew Hall," "Evans Hall", "L. O. Evans," "Fuller Hall," and "Suarez-Collins"
"Evans Hall" is listed as an administrative building http://www.pvamu.edu/files/human_resources/docs/Campus%20Map%2008.pdf - BUT it's not the same as "L. O. Evans Hall" - http://web.archive.org/web/19971210062153/http://www.pvamu.edu/map/index.html shows that "Evans Building" and "L. O. Evans" are two different facilities.

replies: text: Wikipedia is not here to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Please provide a third-party source, from a newspaper, about corruption and coverups, and then this might be considered. Also statments like "had the audacity" are not encyclopedic language. Provide a third-party, reliable source, not primary documents on a filesharing site. Just to be totally clear here: Wikipedia's policy on living persons requires that all controversial or potentially defamatory on living people must be referenced to third-party reliable sources of the highest order - the content you keep attempting to re-add to the article can not be included without them, full stop. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:42, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

message: The caption states that this photo is dated about 1876.  The article states that the first eight students began studying on the former plantation in 1878.  First, the university in this photo does not look like a plantation, and second, it would appear to have many more students.  I would suggest that this photo might have been taken in the 1890s or even later.  H-2-O (talk) 13:31, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
