Cornell University

• Most of the old problems plaguing the article have been recently solved, and the editors could use some new direction and somebody else's opinion. Thanks!

• Fixed - The stub section in a summary section is completely out of place
• Duplicate - Subarticle History of Cornell University has no references and is probably summarized too much.
• Fixed - WP:FOOTNOTES should not have spaces before themselves, and be placed after punctuation.
• Fixed - several {{citation needed}} templates
• Fixed - One-paragraph sections are frowned upon
• Fixed - Cornell University Press is shorter than the section in this article instead of using WP:SUMMARY style. It should be either merged or expanded.
  • I have redirected Cornell University Press, which does note serve much of a purpose of its own anymore Circeus 19:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Noted - Generally, most subarticles do not appear to follow WP:SUMMARY. I'd expect them to have at least as much citations as their corresponding sections.
  • Concerned subarticles are History of Cornell University, Cornell University Library, Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (even though it's not actually linked as so, it has its own section within the article), Cornell Big Red, Cornelliana. Circeus 19:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Fixed - Reducing links to a single target would be a good idea...
• Fixed - "Cornelliana" section needs citations
• Fixed - Another {{sectstub}} under "Research", a section that looks completely out of place, it should probably go under "academics".
• Fixed - the list under "International programs" can probably be prosified
• Fixed - there are oddly few wikilinks in the "Academic units" and "Cornell University Press"
• Fixed - Footers are to be put at the complete bottom of article.
• Not planned - I would consider reducing the size of the hugeass {{Cornell}}, but that is no requirement.

Right now, these are the issues that jump most at me. Circeus 05:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Fixed - Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a no-break space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm. (most already have no-break spaces, but some are missing here and there)
• Fixed - Quotations, like the one in the lead, need citations
• Fixed - This article is a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form).
• Fixed - After a year, for consistency, a comma should either be used throughout the entire article or not used at all.
• Fixed - Dates should use either 0 or 2 commas, depending upon the subject of the article; American-related articles should use 2 commas, while British-related articles generally used 0 commas. For example, for two commas: In January 15, 2006, this and that happened, while for zero commas, use: In January 15 2006 this and that happened.}}
• Fixed - Please link the first occurrence of a dollar sign ($) to United States dollar.
• Duplicate - There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged. For example, Research.
• Fixed - Images need proper image copyright tags and source information
• Fixed - Images with fair use tags need fair use rationales - please see WP:FUC.
• Fixed - Why are References and External links using level 1 headings? Please move them down to == level 2 headings.
