New York University

=Categories=

I removed 18:36, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

:You may want to fix the categorization of other NYC universities, then (i.e., 23:22, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

=Landholdings=

Can someone actually get a source for largest NYC landholders I ve gotten conflicting reports from a variety of different sources (all citing either the City, the Catholic church, NYU or Columbia as the largest) and I d like to set this one straight. 13:40, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I tried, it has been very hard, everyone seems to be private about it. When one looks up the realestate listings for the Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, they are very large and diverse, making cross neighborhood searching difficult, while NYU s are large, but centralized to Lower Manhattan. That said, it is convention that the Catholic Church and the City are respectively second and first. The argument seems always to be Who s third, Columbia or NYU. Arguments could be made for either, and it must be noted that both are getting resistence from expansion.-- 15:15, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

= SHARE (housing) =

I removed this paragraph (again). I don t see how this is appropriate for an encyclopedic article on NYU, and almost seems to violate 15:22, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC) :I agree. Housing sucked when I went to NYU but you re right about where this link should go. 17:14, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

=Alumni=

There seems to be a page for New York University people. Should the list of alumni be dumped as it has grown quite large and everything moved to that people page 01:41, 16 July 2005 (UTC) *Probably a good idea, but somebody (I m too lazy) should fix the header levels on that page, as each is one level too high. By the way, I ve moved your comment to the bottom of the page where new comments go. 15:40, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

=Copyvio text=

It looks like some of the text added by 06:07, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

=Dorms=

8-18-05 I removed It is the largest residence hall in the United States. from waters because this statement is not true. Jester Hall at UT-Austin is almost 3 times larger (3K vs 1K).

I can t find any quote as to how many people live in Jester, but I ve got no problems with the alteration. The exact number at Water Street is 1,194. I would also like to discuss where, exactly, the dorms entry should go. When I wrote that section, I put it under student life. Someone deleted the sub-category tage because they thought having one sub-category was stupid. I put it back up because I figured it needed it s own section and future edits wouldn t all be lumped together under student life. Recently, dorms have been moved under facilities and monuments. While, they are facilities of the university, I believe they are more crucial to student life. Is it appropriate in its current spot or should it be moved back Tell me what you think. 05:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

I switched the pictures back to the right border, it looked cleaner on that side.

I`ve removed the dorm info to NYU residence halls. I felt that the page was getting too big. I left only the introductory and the finishing paragraph and a picture of Hayden. I haven`t found information that detailed anywhere else in a wikipedia university site. I hope you all agree GKennedy

= Graduate Student Union (GSOC) =

I couldn t easily locate information about the fact that up until this summer, NYU was the only private school in the United States that had unionized graduate students. Of course, this is all up in the air now... and while it may be hard for the information to be presented with a NPOV .... shouldn t it at least be mentioned

= Judson Hall =

Do we really need the huge picture of Judson Hall Especially considering it was replaced by Furman Hall last year.

I agree. All of these new pictures were thrown up incredibly haphazzardly and they are now all lined up on the right. It ruins the look of the page. ~ TommyP

Furman Hall did not replace Judson Hall, it is a separate building on MacDougal. I lined up the pictures on the right as I believe it makes the page more readable. There`s a lot of info by now and I feel that it looks more inviting if the pictures stay on the right. But please convince me that there`s a better way to do it.

The Judson campanile is a central element of Wash. Square Park so I thought it might be a nice addition - especially with a picture showing it without Furman.

And TommyP what exactly do you mean with the look of the page

What I mean by look of the page is the visual appeal of the entry. Pictures, in my opinion, are not simply information. They are there to supplement the text and serve as a visual example of what has been mentioned in the article. The pictures that were recently placed in this article were thrown up in a seemingly arbitrary manner as many are not referenced at all and the ones that are are not aligned with the text that does mention them. Pictures do not need to all be on the right, in my opinion, because it does not really make the page harder or easier to write. Just my two cents ~ TommyP

Well I guess we could argue about the right size of pictures for a long time but I agree that its better to have the pictures supplement the text. I did just a few adjustments in size to avoid the pictures cutting off the header lines.

= Pictures =

TommyP - we can continue that bigger-size / smaller size game for a long time. Well, here`s my opinion. I don`t care where you put the picture and how big it is BUT it really looks awkward if it intereferes with some the subject header below. Maybe we can put it on the right instead and put the Kimmel center above on the left...
