Talk:Loyola University Chicago
Verifiability
To clarify why I added the {{verify}} tag to the page I will address just one thing from the current revision: The Beginnings and Expansions section. This section, as it currently stands, is full of so many holes that I might as well delete and start from scratch (which I will probably do over the coming weeks after reviewing the Official University Archives.) Until I am satisfied that the information in that article is correct and has been verified, I am leaving that tag on the page. Hopefully everyone understands and some enterprising Wikipedians join me. Thanks! --Nick Catalano (Talk)
Is there anything in particular that you notice to be blatantly incorrect? Or are you just assuming that there is misinformation? I don't feel comfortable having that up there unless I know for a fact that there is something wrong with it. As far as I know it is correct and up to date, of course I may be incorrect, so forgive me if I ask you to provide specific examples. I will leave the tag up in order to give you time to do so. But in the future please provide specifics rather than blanket statements. Spikethehawk 01:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Here are a few
- Water Tower isn't University Owned Land
- The latest expansion was not the purchase of Mund in 1991... In fact, I don't even believe it was a purchase as much as their lease just ran out..
- The School of Education must have closed down because they just made it a full major this year
- A few revisions ago there was a campus that Loyola didn't own for at least 5 years
- Martin D'Arcy Museum of Art is not open any longer... There is the Loyola University Museum of Art now
- Niles Campus? I have never heard of it... There was a campus that started with an M, but I can't remember it.
- Skyscraper Building is no longer refered to as Skyscraper by the University
I can't even verify half of the other stuff... Tag needs to stay up for awhile while it is worked on... --Nick Catalano (Talk) 02:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Plus this article doesn't cite a single source. It's in serious need of being revamped. Jtrost 02:22, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ok I'll concede some of those. But I have a few contentions to make:
- The article never states that the Water Tower is university owned, it states that it is located close to the campus
- Niles College of Loyola University existed until 1994 when it changed its name to St Joseph College Seminary and moved to its present location on the North side of the campusScroll halfway down
- Skyscraper, while not officially used by administrators is used in great frequency by students, as well as being recognised by the administration as another name for the Mundelein Center. Spikethehawk 03:18, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ok I'll concede some of those. But I have a few contentions to make:
Accuracy
After reviewing some parts of the article with the offical university archives, I have decided to remove some blatently incorrect information and add a dispute tag to the entry. Please do not remove or revert without discussing here first. Nick Catalano (Talk) 22:08, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Haven't had the time to look up the factual accuracy, but I'm noting the specific changes: factual contentions so I and others can come back easily. Euphoria 03:01, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Specifically what information on the page do you think is inaccurate? Jtrost 05:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- See Loyola History --Nick Catalano (Talk) 05:31, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ok. How about we change it rather than debating about whether or not to do something, while a disputed marked sits on the page making it look like there's a huge controversy at Loyola? Anyone object if I do so right now? No? Sounds good. Spikethehawk 07:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

University infobox
anybody have a desire to put a University Infobox on here? Euphoria 18:55, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Consolidation of Articles
In accordance with the agreement made by the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, which stated that only Loyola University Chicago retained the legal right to call itself Loyola University, this article should be moved in its entirety to the article named Loyola University. All other uses would be accessible through a disambiguation page, however an article for LUC would be located on the Loyola University page only. Spikethehawk 16:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- Do you have a sourcee online for this? Jtrost 17:20, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- However, LUC has not chosen to identify itself as simply "Loyola University," all official materials use "Loyola University Chicago" and LUC has also claimed it does not want to use simply "Loyola University" in order to avoid confusion with the other Jesuit institutions. [1] I suggest that this page be returned to Loyola University Chicago and that Loyola University once again become a disambiguation page. -- SmokeDetector47 02:14, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
In regards to the 1996 AJCU agreement, the only source I can find is the articles on the Loyolas (Chicago, New Orleans, Maryland) explicitly stating this, Marymount excluded. I'd be willing to agree to make Loyola University Chicago the main LUC article, as long Loyola University redirects to Loyola University (disambiguation). Therefore any confusion would be avoided as to the proper usage of the phrase.Spikethehawk 19:27, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm confused as to what you're trying to say here. The main LUC article? It is the only LUC article. Do you mean to separate it from the rest of the articles on the disambiguation page, or what are you proposing? Euphoria 22:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- What I mean is to revert Loyola University Chicago as the article containing all the information on LUC. Along with this to use Loyola University (disambiguation) as the disam page, with Loyola University redirect to said disam page. Spikethehawk 22:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Rendering Issues
I removed the following pictures after it was presenting rendering issues at higher resolutions in both IE and Firefox. Perhaps a gallery is best for the future? --Nick Catalano (Talk) 05:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Can you give a further description than "rendering issues at higher resolutions"? It works fine at 1024 and at 1280 for me, though I can't test the higher ones easily. Euphoria 05:56, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- The logos tend to merge into other sections of the page... --Nick Catalano (Talk) 06:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
