FA

I believe this article fulfills WP:WIAFA. Auroranorth (sign) 11:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The major issues are the prose, which need alot of work. There are alot of short sentences in all of the sections that need to be merged. Alot of the information is just plain boring. The image captions need to be fixed. the Lead does not summarise the article adequately.

Ive asked for the league of copyeditors to have a go at the article, but there is a large backlog there. It needs a thorough peer review before it should even be considered for WP:WIAFA. Just my thoughts. Twenty Years 12:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Twenty Years, when they wrote the encyclopedia Britannica, they were not out to write "an exciting and thrilling read for the wole family". The Point being, if someone were to use this page for research, they would be rather unhappy if they found out that someone removed facts and information, in favour of making the article more exciting. (though I am not sure to which parts of the article you refer). I know you have been a big part in helping to develop this article, but saying it can't be featured because it is boring is a bad excuse :) --Yungur (talk) 08:48, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

50 Year Plan

Is anyone else aware of the 50 year plan for Aquinas College, I think it should make a very important addition to this article. I have a reference of the 50 year plan, containing "some" good information and very useful diagrams, I shall attempt to upload a photo of it (my scanner is broken) and if Symode09 is still active, I know he will have a copy that he can scan in high resolution. --Yungur (talk) 08:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded photos of some of the information to wikimedia commons, they can be found at the following urls:

Aquinas College Land Value

The following article states that Aquinas College land value is worth in Excess of 1.2 billion dollars (and thats just the land not including facilities eg: the main castle would be worth a lot for look and historical reasons, the ovals would be worth alot for their condition etc). I think that is a good bit of information, I will look for a place to add it in, maybe in the introduction. reference: [1] --Yungur (talk) 08:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a short bit on the land price to the first paragraph under "Campus", however I think it might be a good quick fact for the introduction, and it would most probably get people more inclined to read the rest of the article, I mean, thats an impressive land value :) --Yungur (talk) 08:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
