Hello, I'm Ser Amantio di Nicolao. I noticed that you recently removed content from New York University School of Law without adequately explaining why.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please explain why you are removing the authority control from the article. Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:05, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

The change I made should be allowed. NYU Law is ranked among the highest in the world. Why was this sentence removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helloprepared12334 (talk • contribs)

The next couple of sentences in the paragraph are, "U.S. News & World Report currently ranks NYU Law 6th in the nation.[4] It is currently ranked the 4th best law school in the world by Shanghai's Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) by subject Law.[5] NYU Law is also consistently ranked in the top 10 by the QS World University Rankings.[6] Nationally, it is ranked 1st in the country in both international law and tax law by U.S. News & World Report.[7]."

Are these satisfactory sources?

I think they are. I'm going to revert the change and cite US News — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helloprepared12334 (talk • contribs)
 * Pinging and  to alert them to the discussion as well. The references may support the change, but...why do you feel the sentence is necessary if the rest of the paragraph states the same thing? -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:33, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

To keep it consistent with other Wikipedia entries for other law schools: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago_Law_School, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania_Law_School, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Law_School, etc. Those are described similarly. It seems odd that we're removing a description from NYU that we have for other similarly-ranked schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helloprepared12334 (talk • contribs)
 * In the other articles, statements directly claiming the Uni's as the best, most prestigious, etc, are directly referenced correctly. The source you provided seems to be an arbitrary rankings site and is more of an opinion than fact.  Thepenguin9 (talk''') 19:51, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Where? I went to Chicago's site (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago_Law_School) and the statement says "It is consistently ranked among the top law schools in the world." There's no citation. For Georgetown Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown_University_Law_Center) it says without citation, "Georgetown consistently ranks among the top law schools in the United States and the world." So no, there are no citations for similar statements. We should either remove those, or reintroduce the NYU statement, which is supported by established rankings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helloprepared12334 (talk • contribs)
 * Please remember to indent your replies by using  and signing by doing.
 * The Harvard and Penn articles do have a proper citation. The Chicago article needs a reference to the same place as the rankings further down, and any unsourced, but potentially true claims can be tagged with or   Thepenguin9  (talk''') 19:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * UVA has the same issue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Virginia_School_of_Law). "UVA Law is perennially regarded as one of the 10 most prestigious law schools in the United States." No citation. What citation is required for this sort of statement? We can add it now.Helloprepared12334 (talk) 20:04, 10 March 2020 (UTC)(talk)
