My edit that is supported by multiple articles that ranked Columbia university as the worst ranked college for free speech is being reverted. Exmanminor (talk) 15:21, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Exmanminor: Actually, you provide only one source and a dubious one at that. You need a good source that not only quotes the study but also explains why the study is a reliable one. You also need to explain why this is "controversial". Was it heavily commented on? Did it result in a lot of press about free speech in Columbia? If this is a one off, it is not worth including. RegentsPark (comment) 15:36, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It is controversial since it shows the lack of diversity of thought on the Colombia university campus. Exmanminor (talk) 02:59, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

it is not a dubious source. do you call fox news a dubious source https://www.foxnews.com/us/columbia-students-react-college-ranked-worst-free-speech-campus Exmanminor (talk) 03:00, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

(1) Criticism and opinion are not the same as controversy. (2) Fox News is not reliable for anything political (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources), and things like "free speech" and analysis of elite/academia are surely in that agenda.

Change the picture of the coat of arms - logo of the university to match the institution's visual identity guidelines.

 Not done for now: The website you cited says that the symbol is loosely regulated, and I am concerned that uploading the depiction of the official version as stated there would be a copyright violation.

In the caption for the last image within this subsection, "The 1797 Taylor Map of New York City...", there is an minor inconsistency between the image and the caption (if one would consider it an inconsistency). The caption specifically states that the map is "showing 'The College' at its Park Place (then Robinson Street) location".

As the caption uses quotes around "The College", I am assuming that it is treating the phrase as an excerpt from the image, and is supposed to match with text in the image. However, in the image of the map, Columbia University is actually denoted by "The Colledge". Wondering if this is important enough to copyedit?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It's important to maintain accuracy and consistency in Wikipedia captions. In this case, the difference between "The College" in the caption and "The Colledge" in the image may indeed be considered a minor inconsistency. To ensure accuracy, it would be a good idea to update the caption to match the exact wording used in the image, which is "The Colledge."

Making this adjustment will help ensure that the caption accurately reflects the content of the image, and it aligns with Wikipedia's standards for precision and consistency. If you believe this edit is warranted, please go ahead and make the change. If you have any further questions or need assistance with the editing process, feel free to ask. 207.96.13.213 (talk) 18:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
