John Jay Article

Hey, I don't know how to leave a signature so sorry about that but saw your edit. Those were college majors (have provided a link to the correct source), I don't know if it's against WP policy to list the majors the college offers (if it does, please feel free to let me know or undo it and I apologize) but wanted to give you the heads up. Anyway, it is dedicated to Criminal Justice, hence the college's name (John Jay College of Criminal Justice). Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.108.33 (talk • contribs) 22:16, November 4, 2021 (UTC)

Lower columbia college

Why did you delete my addition to this article. I go to this college and think its inappropriate for you to delete it. Schwajar000 (talk) 23:49, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed much of it because it was overly detailed and promotional.

You're welcome to open a discussion in the article's Talk page or ask for input at WT:UNI if you'd like opinions from other editors! ElKevbo (talk) 00:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hello

Unfortunately those edits I rolled back were not constructive. The mobile user at issue has a long history of overlinking, adding unnecessary year ranges, etc. — and does not respond to messages. They have been banned multiple times for this: Special:Contributions/2601:14D:4B80:1950:0:0:0:0/64 173.175.200.238 (talk) 22:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I encourage you to include some of that information in your edit summaries or to open discussions in Talk. And be careful that your reversions don't also revert other edits that are unrelated to those you intend to revert. ElKevbo (talk) 23:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Johns Hopkins University article notable alumni

Hi, I just noticed the flag you left about excessive use of images. I'm a little confused because I based my addition off existing articles about universities (see Harvard or Yale) that utilize the same type of gallery for notable alumni, with even more images (Harvard article uses 30 images, Yale uses 28), but none of those have been flagged for the same issue. Are those not flagged because you didn't notice, or is there something particular about my edits? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by BourgeoisPanda (talk • contribs) 03:10, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the question. I simply haven't noticed that those other articles have too many photos; there's nothing particular about your edits. ElKevbo (talk) 13:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. Can you suggest some edits or changes I should make? I'm not exactly sure what constitutes "excessive" or "unencyclopedic" use of images. Might I also suggest flagging the other articles with the same issue so that they can be fixed as well. BourgeoisPanda (talk) 00:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend collaborating with other editors to determine the 8-10 alumni whose photos should be included and limiting the image gallery to those people with a hidden note for editors pointing them to the Talk page discussion so more images aren't added without awareness of the discussion that has already taken place.

And I'm happy to flag other excessively large image galleries as a I see them. I'm not going to search for them specifically - that's not how I'd like to spend my free time volunteering in this project - but I'll note them when I spot them. ElKevbo (talk) 17:30, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why ask to delete the Robert Cherry Award Page

Why are you asking for the page to be deleted just because your edits were reverted. You had no reason to remove a large section of the page. Now removing the page is highly misguided! No wonder I neither donate or contribute to Wikipedia. Be kind! 2607:FE50:0:6100:606A:9A98:7FCE:4BE1 (talk) 20:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My nomination for deletion has little to do with the recent editing history at the article. What the recent edits led me to do is look into the award and the reliable sources that describe it - that showed me that there simply isn't sufficient, substantive coverage in reliable sources to justify an article. If the article is deleted and more sources are published in the future, the article can certainly be created at that time. ElKevbo (talk) 01:34, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
