Greek life[edit]

This part of the article is largely unsourced; the references are only to other lists or handbooks and don't convey information of encyclopedic value. There are great Wikipedia pages which list Greek life at any given university or college; this is not the place for them. I propose deletion. --Melchior2006 (talk) 19:53, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one chimed in on this one, I will go ahead and streamline. --Melchior2006 (talk) 07:13, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Student Government Leaders[edit]

@ElKevbo, it seems like you are engaging in an editing war. Rather than engaging with my dialogue on the Talk section of the University of Arkansas page, you are reverting my edits made on other pages. Please revert your most recent edit and reach a consensus there. LoudPorcupine797 (talk) 13:12, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One revert is not an edit war. But making edits that you know that multiple editors have objected to and add large tables of new information that violate WP:UNIGUIDE, WP:NOT, and WP:DUE is disruptive. ElKevbo (talk) 13:23, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with ElKevbo; this table is way too detailed, not sufficiently referenced, and the information is not of value to an encyclopedia. --Melchior2006 (talk) 13:25, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Listing these details for student leaders seems odd (out of scope etc.) given that the University President (and past ones) are only listed in article with other leaders not listed at all. -Fnlayson (talk) 15:02, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So how about we expand it! LoudPorcupine797 (talk) 16:44, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"The university uses a standard academic calendar..."[edit]

This section has no encyclopedic relevance. It's course catalogue content, generic, therefore I suggest: Delete. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 05:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The main point is that the University is on a semesters schedule. This is not clearly stated anywhere else. -Fnlayson (talk) 05:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is still not significant information. Would you write something about the duration of classes, some of them being 50 minutes long, others 120 minutes? We don't need this. The course catalog is online already, at a different site. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 07:27, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. ElKevbo (talk) 10:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are only 1 sentence now mentioning the semester system with fall, spring, and summer. Regards -Fnlayson (talk) 16:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
