School rankings
Your recent editing history at University of Virginia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

 * I've posted the same edit war/3RR notice on the talk pages for the anonymous users who seem to be the other participants in this dispute. 1995hoo (talk) 19:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

A question
Moderato6th, it appears to me that your interpretation of WP:UNIGUIDE to prohibit all references to rankings in the lede may be incorrect in part. UNIGUDE provides for limited use of the rankings in the lede:


 * In the lead, do not use rankings to synthesize an image of the institution, whether good or bad. Give one factual statement summarising overall "most recent" rankings obtained in key surveys (for example, "In 2010, institution 'A' has been ranked #3 by The Economist, #5 by The New York Times and #8 by Financial Times."). In the lead, do not give the sub factor rankings obtained in each survey (for example, details like "ranked #x in placements" or "ranked #3 in research" should not be given in lead at all).

Based on the foregoing, would you consider modifying your expressed position? --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Request for Response on University of Virginia Talk Page
Moderato6th, a couple of responses to your interpretation of the WP:UNIGUIDE have been posted in Talk:University of Virginia page, including:

The editors who removed the rankings did so because they said it was prohibited by the WP:College and university article guidelines and its supplemental essay: WP:Avoid academic boosterism#Avoid undue weight. I've looked at those sections and can't find anything that "clearly states that there should be no rank mentioning in lead." All that those pages say is to avoid presenting such information with undue weight. Also, the University of California, Riverside page made it through a featured article review with rankings described in the lead section, which is further evidence that this is not against any rules.

If you would be so kind as to respond, it would appreciated, so that we can resolve this debate. Pacnorth2013 (talk) 02:33, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
