===Task forces and sub-projects===
===Task forces and sub-projects===
Task forces are meant to provide centralized information and a discussion area for topics that have a sufficiently large scope, but that would not benefit from having a separate WikiProject with all of the additional work that would involve. Currently, the only task force is '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education/Student Affairs|Student Affairs task force]]'''.

Geographic areas, athletic conferences, or individual institutions with multiple pages and the interest of several active Wikipedians may become the subject of a sub-project. Propose the new project on the WikiProject Higher education talk page or at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals|WikiProject Council]] to make sure there is enough interest before starting a new project. See the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education#Related WikiProjects|related projects section]] for examples.

Please feel free to list your new University-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the [[Template talk:Did you know|Did you know?]] box on the [[Main]] Wikipedia page. DYN has a 72-hour time limit from the creation of the article.
<!--For one example of listing new articles, see [[Wikipedia:Japanese Wikipedians' notice board#It's new!]]. Listing the articles often gets other editors to help improve and expand a new article.-->

*[[Michael V. Drake]] President/The Ohio State University His biography reports on only negative aspects of his 30-year career in academia. I have added a sourced edit in order to add balance.

*[[University Canada West]] - Having [[Talk:University_Canada_West#Additional_Content_.E2.80.93_History.2C_Academic_Activity_and_Article_Summary|declared my COI]], I proposed some significant changes to this article and was hoping to get feedback from other editors. You will notice there is a lack of detail about the university’s history and academic activities and also potential issues related to original research in the Authorization and Reception sections. There hasn’t been a consensus on the content, and we are looking for further input from someone with more experience in editing university-related articles. I’d be grateful for your feedback. Many thanks, [[User:BrandDude|BrandDude]] ([[User talk:BrandDude|talk]]) 12:26, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
*[[North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University]] — This article has been drastically overhauled in an attempt to reach GA and eventually FA ratings.

*[[Appalachian State University]] – A few other editors any myself have been slowly overhauling this page. I know it still needs a lot of work but I'm not entirely sure what I could do. I would really appreciate a peer review to help identify what improvements can be made. [[User:DavidSSabb|DavidSSabb]] ([[User talk:DavidSSabb|talk]]) 18:44, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

*[[Princeton Evangelical Fellowship]] — I've [[Talk:Princeton Evangelical Fellowship#Notability and merger proposal|proposed]] merging this into [[History of Princeton University]], but so far only the article creator and I have discussed it. We disagree, so other comments are needed for consensus. [[User:Lagrange613|Lagrange]][[User talk:Lagrange613#top|613]] 20:07, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
*[[Charles_III_University_of_Madrid]] — I have suggested in the talk page that it should be moved to "University Carlos III of Madrid" (with the Spanish version of the name "Carlos" rather than "Charles"), as that is the official English name of the university: it appears with this name in most third-party references, for instance <ref>https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/carlos-iii-university-madrid</ref>, <ref>https://cwur.org/2018-19/Carlos-III-University-of-Madrid.php</ref>. Even Google suggests an autocorrect when I type Carlos III. Looking for feedback on whether this is a good idea or not. Thanks! [[User:Fph|Fph]] 11:37, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Things To Do
  1. Work on articles that need cleanup.
  2. Create a page for every university and college and add {{infobox University}} for it. See the missing list for those institutions still awaiting articles.
  3. Place {{WikiProject Higher education}} on every related talk page.
  4. Combat boosterism wherever it appears
  5. Ensure all articles, including Featured articles, are consistent with the article guidelines.


This page is about improving articles about higher education. For using Wikipedia in education, see Wikipedia:Student assignments.

WikiProject Higher education aims to improve the coverage of universities and colleges on Wikipedia. Please feel free to join our project by adding your name at the List of participants and including this page on your watchlist.

About the project

[edit]

Goals

[edit]
  • Standardize the structure and content of all college and university articles
  • Ensure colleges' and universities' articles comply with Wikipedia's five pillars
  • Improve the coverage of higher education, propelling articles to featured status
  • Serve as the central hub for all discussions and information related to higher education coverage
  • Add missing and requested higher education articles

Task forces and sub-projects

[edit]

Task forces are meant to provide centralized information and a discussion area for topics that have a sufficiently large scope, but that would not benefit from having a separate WikiProject with all of the additional work that would involve. This WikiProject formerly had the Student Affairs task force, but it is now inactive.

Geographic areas, athletic conferences, or individual institutions with multiple pages and the interest of several active Wikipedians may become the subject of a sub-project. Propose the new project on the WikiProject Higher education talk page or at the WikiProject Council to make sure there is enough interest before starting a new project. See the related projects section for examples.

[edit]

For United States institutions, the Department of Education presents data at its College Navigator. You can link to a college's page by finding its IPEDS ID at nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator (not the OPE ID) and using the following template.

{{College-navigator|<id>}}

For example, Valparaiso University's ID is 152600. Therefore, this template produces

Valparaiso University at College Navigator, a tool from the National Center for Education Statistics

You can use an optional second parameter to specify a name other than the title of the Wikipedia page that calls the template.

{{College-navigator|152600|Valparaiso University (Indiana)}}

produces:

Valparaiso University (Indiana) at College Navigator, a tool from the National Center for Education Statistics
