Hey there. I'll be reviewing this article for potential GA status. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 04:11, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I've decided against listing this article as a GA, as I feel it does not meet the criteria at this time. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 04:58, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Writing and formatting

• Not an absolute requirement, but I would recommend a 2-paragraph lead
• Don't include external links in article text
• History should appear earlier in the article
• Section headings should have only the first word capitalized if there are no proper nouns
• Lead suggests 14,000 undergrads, while the stats in the infobox add to over 15,000 - which is correct?
• You say there are nine faculties, but then list 8 faculties and 2 schools
• The article needs some serious copy-editing - perhaps ask someone from the Guild of Copyeditors to take a look?
• What does ABA stand for? Spell out on first appearance
• Some of the lists could be reworded as prose
• Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and one-paragraph sections

Accuracy and verifiability

• chillonline.ca returns 404 Not Found
• Should have a minimum of one citation per paragraph, and should cite all opinions and statistics
• Bare URLs are not acceptable for GA. Web sources should include at minimum a title, a publisher, and an access date.

Broad

• Should include some information about national and international rankings, such as the Maclean's or National Post university rankings
• Why does the Academics section place so much emphasis on law? The other faculties should have additional coverage
• Information on research?

Neutrality

• "The University of Windsor is a leader in progressive change, providing a purposeful and enriching education experience that engages students in various learning, research and other opportunities, while also positioning itself as an internationally oriented, multi-disciplined institution that actively encourages a broad diversity of students, faculty and staff" - very promotional statement, and sourced only to a map and list of schools
• WP:W2W - certain words insert editorial bias and should be used with care or removed entirely
• Writing is distinctly pro-UWindsor - need neutral phrasing and balanced information
• Citations needed for opinions

Stability

• Recent disagreement about some kind of "peeping tom" incident, but no other issues

Images

• Avoid stacking images, sandwiching texts - see WP:Image tutorial
• Faculty or School of Business?
• I tagged the logo for deletion because it lacks the required non-free use rationale

• the photo of Alumni Field is really dated, there was a new turf installed almost 3 years ago — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.207.108.152 (talk) 14:23, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
