Scholarship[edit]

Scholarship information should stay. Summerdays1 (talk) 22:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A vague statement presented without context is unlikely to make sense much less convince anyone of anything. ElKevbo (talk) 00:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're vague. Summerdays1 (talk) 00:58, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Levering act of 1950[edit]

I'm disappointed there is no mention to this fact that has quite a high encyclopedical and storical relevance. 81.56.24.219 (talk) 10:08, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 1 May 2024[edit]

Reference 160 has outdated link, it is currently at avid.wiki/Chernin_Entertainment. The wiki moved to Wikiforge in the summer of 2023 as an explanation for the domain name change and reason to edit. Timpbskid23 (talk) 15:52, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced it with an article from Variety (magazine). Even if the link didn't go dead, it's still a community wiki, which probably isn't a reliable source per WP:UGC. Liu1126 (talk) 16:05, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 3 May 2024[edit]

A comma should follow “University of California, Berkeley” if it’s written out in running prose; see MOS:GEOCOMMA. I see this is missing in the lede sentence at least. 103.203.255.65 (talk) 19:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)\[reply]

 Already done: I couldn't find any instances in the body text but I did find two or three uses without the comma in the citations, which I fixed. Askarion 14:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File request on Commons[edit]

See: COM:R § Front doors of the Berkeley SCET on Commons. I'm thinking about adding info about the Sutardja Center to this article or Berkeley Engineering, and the requested image would be good illustration. If anyone is near the area, snapping a pic and uploading would be greatly appreciated! BhamBoi (talk) 18:44, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lede additions must be verified, sourced, and adhere to due weight and lede policy[edit]

MadMedeiros Your additions to the lede of the article have given it an expansion, but much of the statements made have been done without first ensuring that they are appropriately verified, sourced, and adhere to the policies regarding due weight and article ledes. For example, many of your changes added information to the lede that were unverified in the body, giving WP:UNDUE weight to the information, even if it is sourced. You might also want to review WP:BOOSTER regarding similar issues and tone, along with the prevailing consensus on information regarding reputation, prestige, and rankings.
