message: "Between 1950 and 1955, the Bronx High School of Science (whose student body historically includes a large percentage of Jews) had only seven students admitted to Yale, while Phillips Academy Andover, although nowhere near as academically selective, had 275."  I don't know a whole lot about Phillips Andover but they seem pretty selective.  If no one has any objections I'm going to remove the phrase "although nowhere near as academically selective"
:I removed the whole sentence since it was unsourced anyways. --Tom 12:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Valid external links? 

message: The following remarks pertain to the portion entitled "2.3 Numerus clausus in the United States".
There are many problems with this section, external links prominent among them.  A tremendous number of unsupported assertions (such as those beginning "Corresponding quotas..." and "The most common method...") are found throughout.  The article reads like agitprop and lacks material and/or academic foundations.  
Where external links *are* provided, they tend to be (academically) substandard:  Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker brief, for example, is a distinctly secondary source and highly editorialized; Geoffrey Kabaservice's "The Birth of a New Institution" is an entirely unsupported essay in a college alumni magazine.  Although both essays are reasonably cogent and make for entertaining reading, neither is remotely academic.  
The section reads as though it were written by someone with an axe to grind.  We can do better. ConradArchguy (talk) 05:51, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The section on Germany, with regard to the percentage of places awarded to students whose marks are good enough to gain entry via NC, contains significant errors.
The ZVS website (www2.zvs.de/index.php?id=259) states that 20% of places are awarded via NC, 20% to those who have waited the required time, and 60% for everybody else.
                   Die Studiengänge werden zu je 20 Prozent nach den Abiturbesten, 20 Prozent nach der Wartezeit und 60 Prozent in einem Auswahlverfahren der Hochschulen vergeben.
The German language version of this article also states this.

replies: text: That is the new rules. The article has been outdated. I changed it. May be it has to be changed again soon, because a lot of people are not pleased with the new rules.-- Greatgreenwhale (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way how would one translate Abitursbeste, would "students who graduated with a GPA the put them in the top 20 percent of their class" make sense?.-- Greatgreenwhale (talk) 19:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The article mentions the Netherlands as a country which had anti-Jewish quota. I suppose this relates to the measures during German occupation. Saying it bluntly like this, is a bit confusing. Bever (talk) 16:52, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

message: I've reverted - as the second paragraph is completely un-sourced and advocates/justifies the antisemitic policy of numerus clausus. The first paragraph is sourced to a PhD student writing in Polish (unclear that this was actually published - might be a thesis of some sort) - per WP:NOENG we prefer English language sources of equal or higher quality - which in this case clearly exist. I'll also note that the Polish student seems to be cherry-picked. Icewhiz 13:07, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Un-sourced and poorly sourced information 

message: :The period 1926-1935 is ignored here. Some editors apply their Growing antisemitism ideology. The period when the antisemitism doesn't grow are omitted. If it's not bias, what is it?
:Polish peasants were generally uneducated during several generations.  The US administration supports Afroamerican students rather than to limit the number of WASP ones. The government of Poland areound 1935 wasn't so smart.
