History of Texas A&M University[edit]

We've done a lot of work to improve this article from its previous stub status. I'm interested in opinions on whether there appear to be gaps in the coverage, and any suggestions on what needs improvement to make this a potential GA or FA article. Thanks for your help!

Review by Nmajdan[edit]

Looks like a good article. I did a quick scan of it and found some issues. I'll try to examine the actual content and wording at a later time if I can but this should be a good start.

  • Per WP:UNITS, make sure you have the metric conversion of certain values. Check out {{convert}}. So, instead of "180,000 acres," you would have "{{convert|180000|acre|sqkm|-1|sp=us}}" which yields "180,000 acres (730 km2).
  • Make sure all citations are in the same format, such as WP:REF format. (Granted, I'm not too familiar with Harvard citation format but it would make sense to me to have one format and stick with it.)
  • Image:Texas AandM University seal.png and Image:Vision2020-tamu.gif need fair use rationale.
  • I question the license of Image:Lawrence Sullivan Ross.jpg. A photograph of a copyrighted work cannot be licensed in such a way.
  • A personal preference of mine is I don't like seeing very short sections. The content under section "1990s" and before "George H.W. Bush Presidential Library" should be lengthened. Are the "George H.W. Bush Presidential Library" and "Bonfire Collapse" sections deserving of their own section? You could probably remove those section headers and group them under 1990s and it wouldn't hurt anything. Especially considering there is no other content for 1990s.
  • Fix ref 17.

Good luck!↔NMajdan•talk 16:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-Up[edit]

Thanks for the incredibly quick response! I've made the changes you suggested, including homogenizing the citatinons, fixing citation 17, and adding the conversion of the units. I've also added Fair Use rationale for the A&M seal image and fixed the licensing of the Lawrence Sullivan Ross image, and removed the section for George H.W. Bush Pres. Library. I appreciate your help! Karanacs 17:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
