Talk:Mcmaster

Apparently someone is annoyed with me for constantly reverting the change to McMaster University as a "highly-regarded" university. As much as we love this school, this is subjective and should not be on the page. Tedhead2k (talk) 16:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I disagree. Stop reverting things back. You already broken 3RR rule. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.214.156.104 (talk) 08:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Tedhead2k. The phrase "highly-regarded research-intensive" is a peacock term and should be removed. See WP:PRESTIGE, too. While the two of you should not have edit warred over it, the phrase should not be there, especially in a disambiguation page. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:16, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The university of part of G-13 group in Canada which is classified as "research intensive" universities. This is the same for Universitas_21 and other groups. Removing it does not make sense. Its probably just Tedhead2k being jealous that UOIT is not in that group. 219.79.199.155 (talk) 14:18, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why you keep associating me with UOIT. I am not trying to use Wikipedia as a medium for promoting anything as you are, I am trying to keep it an objective place to find information. You are fully aware that your edits are against the objectives of Wikipedia, yet you continue to perform them. Surely someone such as yourself attending this university has the integrity, not to mention maturity, to respect that? Tedhead2k (talk) 04:08, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Cut the crap. You still have not explain why you removed "research intensive". Just because Gogo thinks it is, you just followed suit. The whole point of G-13 is a group of Canadian universities not just McMaster, are classified as research intensive universities. You're just too much of a chicken to settle this and asked for semi-protection. Of course many Wiki users, (you included) and administrators are blind and power hungry to see the truth. 218.102.179.182 (talk) 08:37, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I didn't start removing "research intensive" until Gogo Dodo did as I realized they were correct. I agree that the university is research intensive, which is why I left it before, but he/she referenced the WP:PEACOCK article which makes it clear that that phrase shouldn't be there either according to Wikipedia's rules. The Wikipedia guidelines is what articles are meant to be based on, not your own ideas of how great you want to make your school sound. I don't know how else you wanted me to "settle this", the reasoning for my edits and the references to Wikipedia guidelines were made clear, but you just ignored them. You obviously could not be reasoned with, thus the protection was the only way to preserve the integrity of the disambiguation page. Tedhead2k (talk) 15:35, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia guidelines are there as a reference which doesn't apply to every single situation especially when something is that common sensical. If it is so called peacock term, then why are those words kept in G-13, Russell Group and Universities 21? As I said earlier, you're a person who just follows rules blindly and make it seem that I'm a vandal and you're here to save the world. Also, I don't go to the school. Why makes you think that? Just because I keep reverting the same edit makes me associated with the university. Get real. 218.102.179.14 (talk) 02:10, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
