ASU Campus names
Hello shrmn2932. I see you've been editing the various ASU articles. I'm glad to see people working on them, but I did notice one issue with your edits: You've been removing words from the official ASU campus names. The proper names are "Arizona State University at the ______ Campus" (with emphasis on the "at the"). Because those are the official names, that is how the articles should address them. In addition, by changing the names, you've broken the links that are associated with those campus articles. So please don't take offense if I revert several of your edits. -Nicktalk 22:18, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Schwnj, Look closely at the names listed on the websites and you will see that the "at the" has been dropped. You can find it on the following sites: http://campus.asu.edu/west http://campus.asu.edu/polytechnic http://campus.asu.edu/downtown I suppose these name changes may not be official, that is, approved by ABOR or some governing organization, but I image they're the accepted names for now. Anyway, this is my first time to edit a page and I'm happy to know that you're looking over the changes. Shrmn2932


 * Hi Shrmn2932, Thanks for getting back to me and for your continued work on the ASU pages. On the web pages that you listed above (for each ASU campus), look at the contact info provided on the bottom of each page, and you will see that the "at the" is still listed in the campus names. I think they're trying to downplay the different locations so that people don't think the campuses are separate universities. At the moment, all of the page titles and links have the "at the" still in them, so changing the names could result in broken page links and problems with wikipedia formatting. So, if the issue about the names is unclear, then the articles should be consistent and stick with the "at the" campus names for now. -Nicktalk 17:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Schwnj, Good point. It will be interesting to see if they continue to go in the direction of eliminating "at the." Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.147.140.146 (talk) 23:01, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
