Location of "History" section in university pages
Hey! I saw that you reverted my change and I read your rationale, but I wasn't sure if that was really the case because schools like Ohio State University and Michigan State University (which are both also mid-western) feature the "History" section at the top of the page. I thought it might be wise though to bring this up at WP:COLLEGE instead so whatever comes of our discussion could be used as precedent in the future, so I've started a discussion here at the WikiProject if you'd like to contribute.

College colors
Those are some interesting changes you're making please take better care to ensure that in enhancing the graphics you're not removing or changing content, as you did at University of Michigan and Michigan Wolverines. In the former case you removed a reference and changed wikilinks from the colors maize and blue to the items, maize (corn) and sapphire (gem). In the latter case you removed the words, "Maize and Blue". I reverted both edits to restore the original information; thanks! JohnInDC (talk) 22:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I like that 2-color box but the template renders poorly in at least one browser - I suggest you hold off adding it to any more pages until the problem can be fixed. Here's a link to the template's Talk page, where I raise the issue and provide an image showing the problem.  Template talk:Legend striped.  Thanks.  JohnInDC (talk) 03:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Ohio University
In one of your edit summaries you indicated that "Ohio University: A Singular Place" provided multiple references regarding its status as a Public Ivy. If you're referring to this book, then I'm not sure it qualifies as a third-party source since it was compiled by a member of the Ohio University staff and published by Ohio University Press. That said, if she only served to compile material which was previously published elsewhere it could still work. Can you provide more details from the book as to who specifically has called it a Public Ivy so those sources could be tracked down? I'm afraid I don't have time right now to see if the book's available from my local library or online sources. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
