Public Ivy

IU is indeed listed in Greene's Guides list of Public Ivies. So why is this information being continually removed without discussion or even the courtesy of an edit summary? ElKevbo (talk) 14:24, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Grunwald Gallery of Art

I boldly made Grunwald Gallery of Art a redirect but was reverted; the Gallery itself and a student newpaper do not establish the notability needed for this Gallery to merit a standalone article. The article should be a redirect to this page, with any valid content being merged here. 331dot (talk) 14:23, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. A redirect is appropriate.Deb (talk) 15:03, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose a major 35 year old contemporary art museum is worthy of an independent entry. Article is brand new and can easily be expanded. Already its content would be undie and excessive in the University's article. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:24, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Its content(once you take out the information about its namesake) is currently little more than the fact that it exists and it hosted an exhibition, which is unsurprising for an art gallery; it would be like an article about a car dealership stating that it sold a car. If you have sources with indepth coverage of this gallery, please offer them. 331dot (talk) 15:34, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And Mr Grunwald himself doesn't seem to be notable for anything except providing the finance (along with his wife). Deb (talk) 18:59, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 14:28, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nearest Airport

Can we add nearest airport to Info box? It might be helpful for lot of people, especially if we can add it to every college/university info box --Thaduru (talk) 04:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing statistics on student population

The currently inserted source on the IU student population claim in the initial paragraph contains useful info. Nonetheless, it is frankly irrelevant to the information it cites. This is cause it doesn’t include data geared towards the university’s student population, as addressed in the sentence. Therefore, I would like to propose a new citation for this:

https://indiana.edu/about/ranking-statistics.html

This is more appropriate than the previous, since it proves the fact being stated. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated. 888888jdog 01:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 888888jdog (talk • contribs)

I added the ref. Indyguy (talk) 01:46, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see where the added ref states that IU Bloomington is the largest in the system. Am I missing something obvious? Contributor321 (talk) 02:07, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see it there but it's a small system so the fact is easily verified e.g., IPEDS search for "Indiana University". ElKevbo (talk) 02:13, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The original edit noted that the enrollment statistic of more than 40,000 was not supported by the source. The source which was suggested and which I subsequently added does indeed support the 40,000 figure. That it did not support the claim of largest campus is a separate matter, so the added source should have been retained and note made that it didn't satisfy all the claims in the sentence, not deleted. I have added a source which should adequately support the claim of largest campus by use of a bit of arithmetic. Indyguy (talk) 04:06, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

student life

shouldn't there be some sort of student life section? i've seen them on many other college and university wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmett nolan (talk • contribs) 17:01, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
