Overly detailed "Life on campus" section
[edit]Asctt453 is insisting that "Life on campus" section include the specific restaurants in some buildings, the kind of furniture and lighting in those buildings, and the specific games that can be played in some buildings. After they originally added the information, I removed it but Asctt453 readded it without any discussion or even edit summaries to explain their edits. Why do we need this information and why is it being readded to the article without discussion or even the courtesy of an edit summary? ElKevbo (talk) 19:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- How does it harm anyone to have a lot of information about anything? Are we running out of room for text? Pascalulu88 (talk) 10:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Information about restaurants and games offered are not of value to an encyclopedia. I'll take a look. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 15:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Of course they are valuable to anyone who is interested in the university as a whole and in its environs. What harm does it do to have them there? Because they are changeable and would need to be revised? Well, at Wikipedia, revisions and updates R us. And who of us, is the arbiter, individually, of what is and is not encyclopedic? The term "encyclopedic" used to carry the sense of being highly inclusive and varied. Pascalulu88 (talk) 16:22, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- You might find it helpful to review our advice about the contents of articles about colleges and universities. ElKevbo (talk) 17:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- What is the benefit to our readers of having less information? If the information is unsourced, then get rid of it. If it's accurate, then leave it. Do we really think someone will read the article and throw up their hands and say, "OMG, it's too detailed! My brain hurts!"?Pascalulu88 (talk) 22:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
