Talk:University of Pennsylvania

How should we split this thing up?

The notice at the top of the page says this thing is too long for an article, so how should we address it? I say we spin the "History" section off into its own page - it's been done before with the History of Harvard University and History of Columbia University TehSausCabe (talk) 22:32, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Does Student Life and Athletics need to be included in the main article? It currently reads as if these are not ordinary available at other universities. A brief overview might be more helpful here. (X is part of Y conference and has x amount of women and x amount of men sports. For more information on sports, click here) Wozal (talk) 23:41, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Student Life and athletics are sections in the other peer universities OneMoreByte (talk) 14:39, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

"Academic boosterism"

@GuardianH: This section includes a cleanup tag for "academic boosterism." Does this section need to be rewritten? Jarble (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

@Jarble Not only does the section need to be rewritten, but it needs to be shortened significantly; some parts of it last time I checked read like a college brochure, which is WP:PROMOTION. GuardianH (talk) 19:27, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Images:Mobile vs. PC and Impact on Readsr

I edit via my phone as I access via my phone. When I use my phone it is helpful to have the images present themselves close to where the body is discussing the image. When I placed the image on such locations certain editors who edit via PC revert. I defer to the Wiki as to whether editors should assume reader is. Accessing via mobile device such as a phone or PC.

Magill and Board of Trustees resignations

I added this information to the article in the controversies section. I sourced it with references to the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. I didn't change the infobox other than to add a reference by Magill's name. I wasn't sure how much detail regarding the circumstances, so there are just a few sentences. Others might want to rephrase, as I made these additions in a hurry. FeralOink (talk) 10:26, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

i think her resignation was not yet in effect is why someone else deleted it. Thanks for being a Wikipedia editor OneMoreByte (talk) 14:37, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Formatting

How do we make sections? I thought by adding ==Section Caption== a section would be created. Am I missing a step? Athletic and Student Life used to be sections and now they are not. Thanks

On my setup, they show fine as section headings. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to demote a header to subsection level? _signed, Willondon (talk) 15:28, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Medical Research

They say nothing about taking small puppies, tearing their legs, letting them crawl around awhile in pain, then euthanizing them, to dissect their limbs to see the damage that their "research" did to them. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! In today's world of technology, this type of research is not necessary. Sad for an Ivy League institution to still do this. 71.32.121.61 (talk) 18:46, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
