Talk:Michigan State University Housing

Proposed Deletion
I removed the proposed deletion tag, since I think this page has potential. Let's give it some work and see what it becomes. Lovelac 7 09:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Man, is this article unwieldly! I'm guessing from the bold-print advertising sentence about the Brody Complex that it was originally written by university staff.

Residence halls are seldom called by their full names (Mary Mayo is an exception). A good solution would be to refer to the shorthand name with a parenthetical showing the whole name - i.e., "Akers Hall east and west (Forest H. Akers Hall)."

In addition, someone looking for the "Virgin Islands" would find no help here, yet that was a common name for the women's dorms in "West Circle" (now apparently called "North Neighborhood") because they were almost exclusive reserved for female students.

I guess this is a perpetual work-in-progress since some residence halls have their own subsection, but others are largely ignored.

I would add more, but it has been a long time since I graduated. Jnmwiki (talk) 01:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Update
The "Brody Neighborhood renovations" was 11 years old! It spoke of 2014 as the distant future, even though, as I write this, 2014 is 8 years in the past. I updated it all as though every renovation was completed on time though I have no knowledge at all if that is true. I do know my son entered Rather Hall in the Fall of 2018 and there was no ongoing work in the Brody Neighborhood. My son lived there until the end of May 2021. My edits are based, not on this personal knowledge, which would make them forbidden "original research", but rather my edits are the sort I always do when reading an article that writes using the future tense about what is now the distant past. Following the "be bold" dictum of Wikipedia to its editors, I always change such articles on the assumption that the projects completed as planned. If I am wrong, an editor with better knowledge can correct my edits. Nick Beeson (talk) 22:36, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
