message: "unlike Columbia College, which had the support of the Anglican Church" should probably be "...which had the support of Trinity Church", or perhaps "of the Episcopal Church, then the most numerically prominent protestant denomination in New York City".  [I would want to check that, but I think that is correct; there are still parts of New York where you can't walk two blocks without passing an Episcopal Church.]
The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America is the real name, and the Consitution and Canons have not been changed; "Episcopal Church" is approved shorthand, and "Episcopal Church in the United States" is a sop to a number of rather noisy constituencies.  Columbia College had its origins as an enterprise of Trinity Church, which was the Big Noise church in New York City for a very long time, and is still quite influential. The language under which its royal charter is recast by act of the New York State legislature, in the wake of the Revolution.  The ecclesiastical ediface of which Trinity is a part (and which had not been formalized at that time) succeeds but is very different from the Protestant Church of England by law established. [Cf: Dix's comprehensive history of the Parish of Trinity Church, vol. 1, in the appendices; as I recall, Dix was working from copies of documents as Trinity had lost its originals -- some of which were later found in crummy condition.] Episcopalian polity was planned to be very different from Anglican polity; prominent laypeople and clergy in priest's orders were clearly intended to be the main governing body of the Episcopal Church. In the expression of the Rev. Dr. Daniel Paul Matthes (Trinity's XVIth Rector), the polity is substantially more presbyterian than episcopalian.  This strong participation of other -- estates? -- within the church in its governance was very clear in the practice of having a Standing Committee of the (usually annual) diocesan convention to counsel and engage the bishop, and even to exercise governance functions in the absence of the bishop.
The Episcopal Church has enjoyed cordial relations with other churches historically linked to the Protestant Church of England, and takes pride in its connections. 
This business of identifying PECUSA as just another Anglican province is perhaps more recent.  It seems to reflect demographic changes in the church's membership -- quite a few ex-papists find spiritual shelter, along with folks from areas where the Anglican Church was established incidental to the United Kingdom's colonial program, particularly, areas where that colonial effort was undertaken by folks of Tractarian persuasion, folks who were unhappy about the English Reformation and intended to go on as if it never happened.  This works nicely with that element in the Episcopal Church hitherto called "high church" (a group with roots in the earliest English Reformation).  As an example, the church I attended in my teen years, when I was home from school, was "low church" or maybe "broad church"; the ordinary Sunday service was Morning Prayer with Holy Communion once a month (you knew it was Communion Sunday because the rector wore a stole instead of a tippet and hood). At that church now, the normal Sunday service is Holy Communion, and once a month they have Morning Prayer.
All of this to support the idea the Columbia was -- then, at least -- an Episcopalian, rather than Anglican, operation.  As King's College, it may have been Anglican, though... ;) djenner 07:13, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: On January 10, 24.126.240.240 added a long paragraph lauding NYU's creative writing program, complete with a laundry list of current and former writers. While this all probably is true, I don't see the reason to point out this particular program over other programs that NYU has "distinguished itself" in. To be sure, the Philosophy department should be mentioned since it is ranked #1 by a national, independent ranking body (along with the other ranked departments mentioned). But this mention fo the creative writing seems much more subjective (not to mention messy with all the dead links). I say it should be removed. mtz206 15:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

message: In the 1950s and early 60s NYU was the graduate school for the working class and for teachers earning higher degrees. This was in line with its original mission to extend higher education to a larger segment of society. Then the university began to buy superstar professors and get rid of struggling graduate students, presumably in an effort to rival Columbia as the city's great research university. Now its president seems bent on outdoing the rest of the world. The article might suggest these mission changes. (This is not sour grapes, since I, from a working-class background, did belatedly and at long last earn a Ph.D. from NYU in 1969.) Jim Lacey (talk) 16:03, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

text: The tag has been removed by multiple editor, both involved and uninvolved. You have failed to point out any "puffery" yet. I've presented several "good" college articles, all of which seem to have much more puffery, but a little research proves that statements made are actually factual. Either you nominate this article for reassessment. Or just keep the reassessment-alert that you added here, but don't keep editwarring to keep a tag just because you think there might be puffery. I would love to here some input from .--Dolly Cao (talk) 05:02, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really have time to get involved with all the activity on this article, but there is a ton of puffery. In my opinion, the entire second paragraph of the lead section is just WP:BOOSTERISM. I don't know the process for a reassessment of its good article status without looking it up, but I concur that it should be reviewed by editors that have not been involved in editing the article. Best of luck, Bahooka (talk) 05:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: , the stuff in the second paragraph are either sourced or the linked alumni or faculty articles show that it's factual. Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, Georgetown University and Duke University are some examples of "good" or "featured" articles that have similar lede. For example Georgetown University's lede says "dozens of U.S. governors and members of Congress, heads of state or government of more than a dozen countries, royalty and diplomats." University of Chicago's lede says "The University of Chicago is home to many prominent alumni. 13 billionaire graduates, and a plethora of members of the United States Congress and heads of state of countries all over the world" etc--Dolly Cao (talk) 06:27, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't say it wasn't factual. It is just a bunch of unhelpful information (seriously, a "plethora" of politicians?) that does not give information about the university, just who graduated from there. I really recommend that you and other editors read WP:BOOSTERISM and WP:UNIGUIDE to see how a university article should read. Bahooka (talk) 06:36, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: , I happen to agree with you. Interestingly, I came across ongoing Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/University of Chicago/1 on the other "plethora of politicians" article talkpage, and there the consensus seems going different direction.--Dolly Cao (talk) 06:42, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The reassessment request is clearly visible on the request page. Nothing further need to be stated on this talk page by me; until the article is reassessed - the COI tag stays. I strongly urge that you restore the MAINTENANCE tag that you have edit-warred to remove - WITHOUT addressing the underlying problem. Edit warring over a maintenance tag does not require a violation of WP:3RR to warrant a block, and restoring a maintenance tag under these circumstances is exempt for 3RR as it is reverting obvious vandalism.  Self revert, or be reported. Scr★pIronIV 22:02, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Learn to distinguish between alert and actual nomination. Actual nomination looks like this:Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/University of Chicago/1. Furthermore, your editwarring with multiple editors to keep a tag, while failing to point out problems when asked, tantamount to vandalism.--Dolly Cao (talk) 22:10, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Another editor is insisting that the lead sentence in this article indicate that NYU is a university "spread throughout the world."  I contend that this is vague and contradicts the fact that (a) this university has its primary location in New York City and (b) this article makes several statements asserting the primacy of the NYC location.
First, the institution lists its Washington Square location as the institution's primary location in multiple venues including the U.S. Department of Education and its regional accreditor.  If you click on the "Campus map" link on the institution's website, it takes you to a Google Map centered on Greenwich Village (in fairness, the website also lists three "Main Campuses" including New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai; there is contradictory messaging in many places).
Second, this article has well-sourced statements in multiple sections that support the Washington Square location as the institution's primary location.  For example, in the Campus section there are statements such as "The core of NYU consists of buildings that surround Washington Square Park" and "Since the late 1970s, the central part of NYU has been its Washington Square campus in the heart of Greenwich Village."
It is essential that readers be told, up front in the very first sentence, that New York University is indeed headquartered in New York City.  I think it's also appropriate to include a nod to the university's international growth.  The vague "spread throughout the world" does a disservice to both important points.  I recommend something like "with its original campus in New York City and additional locations throughout the world." ElKevbo (talk) 19:32, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Please change the acceptance rate from 20% to 15%, because it misguided students and out of date information

message: This article fails to mention that, in addition to New York University’s finance difficulties in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the major impetus for The State Of New York's brokered merger of New York University's School Of Engineering and Polytechnic Institute Of Brooklyn into Polytechnic Institute Of New York, in 1973, was that New York University's School Of Engineering lost all its accreditations.

message: In the "Notable Alumni" section, the listed colleges of NYU and degrees obtained for Martin Scorsese are inaccurate. Scorsese did not attend CAS or Tisch—please refer to this NYU article: “He earned his undergraduate degree from NYU’s Washington Square College in 1964, a Master of Arts degree from the School of Education (now the Steinhardt School of Education, Culture, and Human Development) in 1968."

replies: text:   Edited Tisch to Steinhardt as it was indeed incorrect according to the source provided. I have not edited CAS to Washington Square College since the latter is a redirect to the former making me think that it's really the same college but with an older or alternative name, hence it doesn't really need to be edited.

message: The source material from the NYU website states “former” Secretary of the Treasury, which is true. By 1831 Gallatin was not only a former cabinet member, he was also a former 2-time Ambassador (France, UK), the use of the word “then” in the sentence regarding Gallatin leading the charge for NYU’s founding should be edited accordingly. 2600:1014:B049:5E6A:883D:8A68:B25E:B838 (talk) 12:10, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
