Untitled[edit]

Norb has been placed in the category 'prohibition'. How does Norb have anything to do with prohibition besides being born in the 1930s?

This entry amounts to hagiography and calls for a rewrite[edit]

Good for the University of Central Arkansas for having a professor whom someone feels compelled to write so much about, but bad for wikipedia that this overblown biography pays so little attention to the man's research, whatever it has been on, and assuming it meets wikipedia's standards for academic relevance. I can think of literally dozens of professors I've known in Arkansas and elsewhere in my academic career who are quite quotable and even devoted to educational service, but who don't have wikipedia pages. So much gristle here, so little worth. Goth Fatty X (talk) 04:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed[edit]

Rewrite or deletion? I'd say old Norb probably wrote a good deal of this himself. Drunkencorgimaster (talk) 15:51, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, If Dr. Schedler wrote it, he'd have caught the plural women in the part about his wifey.[edit]

I am pretty sure though I know which former student wrote it. The Honors community is pretty tight knit. It does need some edits and could use more of a focus on his publications. He really did reshape UCA as the academic school vs the U of A party circuit. I happened onto this today, but I will ask the Honors committee if there is anyone up to the edits.Sirromyesdnil (talk) 05:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)sirromyesdnil[reply]

Relevance[edit]

Beyond being an apparently popular educator in a regional state university in America, how relevant is he? His publication record seems adequate but modest. I can not help but wonder if this Yank does not belong on "Rate My Professor?" rather than Wikipedia perhaps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.144.6.66 (talk) 17:00, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
