Auburn University[edit]

Submitting for peer review as suggested by Ttownfeen. The article is pretty comprehensive, but might could use another modern photo or too. Other comments or suggestions for this becoming a FAC? Autiger 19:03, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • The article looks fairly comprehensive, however its missing some thing discussed in other college articles. Most other colleges have a section on arcitecture, see Yale. The statistics section at the end of the article really should be merged into the text, for example if you had a section on the library the library stats could go in there, the British colleges also have sections on admissions like University of Cambridge, that would be a nice neat way to incorporate the admissions stats, some of the recent data included in the history section could also go in this section (the history section is pretty long as is). There also no list of chancellors, most other college article include it in the academics section. --nixie 23:14, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • The institution was founded 1856 and in 1960 it had been known as AU for a century. Does this mean that it was always known as "Auburn University" or is this loose phrasing? --Theo (Talk) 11:56, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It would be hard to substantiate how long API was colloquially called "Auburn University" before 1960. I'm changing the article to soften the claim. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 13:41, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
