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

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)[reply]

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

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.

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?

"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

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

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)[reply]
