Talk:History of San Diego State University

Abbreviations and word usage
So far, so good. My commendations to Nehrams2020 for his monumental efforts to create the article. I am being a good wikignome with it, I hope! I note that the article currently uses different words and phrases as an abbreviation and/or reference to describe the institution in its various incarnations over the years, such as SDSC, State, the college, the school, San Diego State, etc. Here is my suggestion: that we settle on one version, for instance "the university" and use that unless the context calls for identification of the specifical actual title of the university at that point in time. Thoughts? If we have a consensus, then I would be happy to make such changes. Streltzer (talk) 02:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look and fixing a few of my errors. I was using the different phrases in attempt to vary up the text a bit and to also stay with the era as the school progressed from school, to college, and then university. That definitely sounds fine what you plan to do, so feel free to go ahead and make the change. I just found a database with several SDSU related articles and so I fleshed out the SDSU Transit Center article as well as added some more sources to this one. The largest problem I can tell with this article right now is the lack of coverage of some of the other buildings/dorms and the lack of updates for the sports/Greek (both are only up-to-date to the ~1970s). Those well definitely need to be updated before we even consider GA status. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 02:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Splitting and sections
If I were reviewing it, I'd recommend splitting the various buildings, athletics and frat sections into separate articles unto themselves. What's currently there on the university should easily qualify as GA, in my opinion, with only minor tweaking. One thing it's missing though, is some mention of its Women's Studies department, which was the first such department in the county, according to their website.

 * I agree; that makes it easier to read. Streltzer (talk) 17:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought it should be done as well, I just wanted to accumulate it all together initially as I compiled the information on the school into the article. I definitely did want people to take a look, and I'm glad to see some feedback on how to improve the article further. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I split off the sections onto the main SDSU article. That definitely needs to be tinkered with since there may already be some overlap with information already on that page. I'm going to be working on this page over the next day or two to prepare for nominating it at GAN. If you think anything needs to be readded from what I moved to the main SDSU article, feel free to readd it. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 01:36, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

GA nomination
I have nominated this article at WP:GAN. If you haven't already, take a look at the article and make sure there aren't any major issues so we can take care of them before somebody reviews it. Good job to everybody that contributed to the article, and hopefully we don't have too much trouble getting it passed. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
