Talk:University of Akron

message: I'm from the area (originally Ashland County, then Stark County), and I've never heard of this group. Especially considering that they dropped out of UofA, should they be included in this article? I'd remove them, but without a second opinion, I don't feel confident doing it.--Cheezymadman 20:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Black Keys? 

message: Please see my previous comments about the "third-largest" claim.  The source provided merely validates the Fall 2009 enrollment number at UA; it does not state that Akron is the third-largest university in Ohio and therefore cannot be used as a source to the claim.  The enrollment number also does not specify whether it includes the students at Wayne College or the Medina County Center or just the main campus (though they are mentioned in the report).  When all students are counted, Akron is 5th largest from the most recent enrollment stats behind Ohio State, Cincinnati, Kent State, and Ohio U.  It's similar to Ohio State's claim of largest university in the US...it's the largest campus in the US (or near it), but not the largest university since a university can and often does include more than one campus (Akron included).  And even then, each school deals with and classifies its regionals very differently.  If anything, Akron is the third-largest campus in Ohio based on enrollment as far as I can see using total number of students (graduate and undergraduate/full-time and part-time).  --JonRidinger (talk) 02:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Third largest revisited 

message: As a current student, the University is placing significant emphasis that the "The" is a part of the name, an auxiliary department even going so far as making a correction (no points deducted) on an assignment of mine for omitting it.  Not sure what Wiki policy is on this, so I didn't want to just start editing up the article.  76.189.59.18 (talk) 03:35, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:THE#Universities.  I think it's more an issue of common usage vs. official usage.  The UA websites and materials generally have "The" capitalized consistently.  --JonRidinger (talk) 19:08, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Indeed, the University does call itself consistently as "The" (on the website and elsewhere), however, it has never caught on in common usage (I am open to be proven otherwise). --Truther2012 (talk) 22:14, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

message: This article rightly has tags at the top of the page for POV issues. I have been working over the past week to alleviate these concerns basically by doing nothing other than deleting POV material and rewording where appropriate. The tag for citations to self-published sources does not seem appropriate though. I do not see the citations to self-published sources. I welcome anyone to help with this article's POV issues and to enlighten me why it has the self-published sources tag. JEN9841 (talk) 05:56, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Since no one has responded, I am going to remove the "no self-published sources" tag, leaving the others for now while I continue to work on this article's POV issues. JEN9841 (talk) 18:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed quite a bit of what I deemed to be POV material from this page over the past few weeks. I think the article is basically ready to have the tags for press release and advertisement removed. Unless someone points out any further issues with the article, I plan on removing the POV tags at the top of the page in a few days. JEN9841 (talk) 06:05, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  It looks like you have done good work. I don't object to removing the tags so long as nobody else does either. Piguy101 (talk) 00:55, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
