Peacock wording

It would be great to identify the peacock wording within the article. Currently, the template is jeopardizing the article's "Good Article" status. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 15:35, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is jeopardising the GA status is the sudden flurry of partisan editing , especially to the lede and including edits such as 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. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 20:27, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I might have to request full protection to force discussion here in the talk page and clean up the article so that it can deserve the Good Article status again. After the full protection is lifted, the article itself may end up being extended-confirmed-protected as semi-protection has been proven not to stop promotional editing at all. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 01:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That seems reasonable. A University of this calibre deserves a GA article status article. Maybe it is just a flurry of new undergrads hyping up their new alma mater, but whatever the reason, the content needs to be kept balanced by one means or another. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 07:42, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested full protection. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 16:36, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's now fully protected for a few days. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 00:10, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's now extended-confirmed-protected for a few days. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 00:48, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It no longer has protection (for now). Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 00:40, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's now semi-protected indefinitely for disruptive editing regarding the number of Nobel Prize laureates affiliated with the university. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 00:34, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CAUT censure

It seems the hiring controversy should probably be included in the article including the fallout which generated dozens of newspaper articles: see https://www.caut.ca/latest/2021/04/caut-council-imposes-rare-censure-against-university-toronto-over-azarova-hiring for a new development. --hroest 17:15, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the list of Faculties, change "School of Public Policy and Governance" to the "Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy" - the new name of the faculty. 76.71.157.66 (talk) 04:18, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. ◢ Ganbaruby!  (talk) 18:34, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think the Munk school should be removed from this list, as it's not a faculty, but a department within the Faculty of Arts and Science (and is correctly listed on that page). Similarly, the faculty of forestry should be removed, as it no longer exists (it's been folded into the Daniels faculty of architecture). Steve Easterbrook (talk) 16:10, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: According to the page's protection level you should be able to edit the page yourself. If you seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. Of course you are welcome to wait until it has been discussed further. (pinging Steve Easterbrook) — LauritzT (talk) 08:15, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks. Steve Easterbrook (talk) 18:00, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the list of faculties in the 'Academics' section, change "Faculty of Pharmacy" to Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, "Faculty of Social Work" to 'Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work', "Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design" to 'John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design' and "Faculty of Nursing" to 'Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing'.

These are the full names of the faculties, with the names being their most identifiable references. 76.71.157.66 (talk) 22:46, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Under Notable People, add Lee Ross to the listed psychologists. His career and death was covered prominently by the NY Times here 2601:647:4E00:2040:9E9:37F:A7C9:434B (talk) 21:22, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have not added him here, because just being notable isn't enough to merit inclusion in a prose list like that; we cannot fit every notable graduate into one paragraph. However, that is exactly what list pages are for, so I have added him to the appropriate section of the appropriate list article. - Astrophobe (talk) 21:38, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is much better. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
