Talk:List of University of Pennsylvania people

message: There's an article on Olivia S. Mitchell which has an orphan tag, and it seems to me that this article should link to that one. Does anyone else agree? 3005shdh (talk) 14:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been a week and there's been no response so I went ahead and added an entry and link to the article on Olivia S. Mitchell as described above. 3005shdh (talk) 13:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I hadn't realized that the Nobel laureates section was exclusively alumni.  I think it would make sense to have all Nobel laureates associated with Penn at the top, then faculty, then alumni. Flying fish 19:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Since no one has responded, I'm going to go ahead and delete Soyinka's name.  I did a little more research and found that he received an important medal from Penn in 2004, but that isn't enough of a connection to justify listing him here.  Since the medal can be presented to people with or without other Penn connections, Soyinka's receipt also does not suggest that he has a meaningful relationship to the university.4.232.225.162 23:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I've decided to leave Shirakawa's name on the list after all.  Most major universities, including Penn, wouldn't claim him based on a one-year visit, but I don't see why information on Wikipedia should be limited by this convention.4.232.225.162 23:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: please make it two or 1 column, cant read anything. not user-friendly  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.173.6 (talk) 19:58, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, and thanks for your feedback. What kind of device are you using to view the page with? On a desktop/PC, the columns should reduce to two or one (maybe even starting at four, if your screen is wide enough) as you reduce the width of your viewer window. (It does this for me, anyway, and I have a fairly ancient browser.) On a phone, I see only one column anyway. Or do you simply not like three-column displays in general? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 20:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

message: I was trying to fix the bare URLs issue. Everything was fine after edit id 1216132909, but after edit id 1216137343, the templates collapsed (cannot be viewed). I didn't notice it until I tried to edit again because everything loaded just fine in the preview window. The edit after that (1216138847) does resolve the last 4 of the bare URLs that I'd noticed.
How do I fix this without having to undo the work fixing the bare URLs?

replies: text: The article is too large, and having issues with WP:PEIS. I have seen this happen a few times, but to solve the issue just subst the citation templates to get it down to raw code.
