Things To Do
Work on articles that need cleanup. Create a page for every university and college and add ((infobox University)) for it. See the missing list for those institutions still awaiting articles. Place ((WikiProject Higher education)) on every related talk page. Combat boosterism wherever it appears Ensure all articles, including Featured articles, are consistent with the article guidelines.

Two articles about U.S. institutions have recently seen a lot of activity and may benefit from some additional editors.

• Emporia State University: In December, GlennenGhost added a bunch of new material to the article that painted the university in a negative light. Since then, Fourmile45 has made many edits to the article. Some of the edits are uncontroversial improvements but some edits have also removed or significantly altered what was added in December. I'm not entirely sure what to make of all of that so some additional eyes and brains would be appreciated.

• Northwestern College (Iowa)‎: Skielark is a new editor who has disclosed on their User page that they are being paid by the college to edit its article. To my eye, most of their edits seem to be productive but they are making a *lot* of edits so I'd really like a second opinion.

One article about Catherine Emihovich (the 12th dean of the university of Florida) has seen a lot of action lately. The editors name is @Shane emihovich and It says they have a close connection with her so additional editors would be nice to help out and make sure its biased.

Hi all

I notice that this page has a list of universities and colleges in Gaza and there are indiviudal articles for most of them. My assumption is this list is out of date and the individual articles are also out of date given that Israel has destroyed or damaged all universities in Gaza. I don't know enough about the topic to do a good job but these are the sources I found:

• https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-01-20-24/h_06d1fdd709d1c7ef793f4afc27df029e
• https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/24/how-israel-has-destroyed-gazas-schools-and-universities
• https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/03/07/all-12-universities-in-gaza-have-been-the-target-of-israeli-attacks-it-s-a-war-against-education_6592965_4.html
• https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/israel-kills-dozens-academics-destroys-every-university-gaza-strip-enar
• https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/03/07/all-12-universities-in-gaza-have-been-the-target-of-israeli-attacks-it-s-a-war-against-education_6592965_4.html

Thanks

With the sources you've found, I think you're as prepared as anyone to update that list and its entries. The inclusion of the coat of arms of Palestine and "State of" in the title makes me wary that there may be some non-neutral bias toward trying to establish Palestine as a state. Every educational institution in Gaza probably needs a sentence or paragraph in its history section discussing what happened to it during the war. Sdkb ^talk 21:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
