Numerous uncited paragraphs, including most of the Notable people section and residences. Demographics section needs an update of the prose, and the history section needs an update of COVID-19 information (and I'd argue that it needs to be expanded to include many more significant events). Z1720 (talk) 01:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per citation issues and outdated demographics. This history section overall does seem lopsided, though I don't know if COVID-19 is due, unless it uniquely had a major effect on the university. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 07:44, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 October 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change the size of St. George Campus from 71 hectares to 55.8 hectares (https://data.utoronto.ca/data-and-reports/facts-and-figures/facts-and-figures-facilities/). Also, change the notable people section to reflect that uoft has thirteen nobel laureates now. Geotricity (talk) 02:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Added source for the size (prior 71 ha figure not supported in source). Updated Nobel count to 13, but added a CN tag with sentence (not doubting the claim, but a cite would be needed at some point). Leventio (talk) 07:44, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-:What is jeopardising the GA status is the sudden flurry of partisan editing , especially to the lede and including edits such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=University_of_Toronto&diff=1019569680&oldid=1019569104&diffmode=source this] . Has the University decided to recruit professional spammers to up the ante?  This stuff does not belong in the lede and hardly belongs anywhere in an article about an excellent University. Facts speak for themselves. Hyped up rankings add little and look like advertising and promotion. <span style="background-color:lightblue">'''''&nbsp;[[User:Velella|Velella]]&nbsp;'''''</span><span style="background-color:lightblue">&nbsp;<sup>''[[User talk:Velella|Velella]] Talk ''</sup>&nbsp;</span> 20:27, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
