University of Mississippi

 * Nominator(s): ~  HAL  333  21:17, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

This article is about the University of Mississippi, a public university in (you guessed it) Mississippi. This article has been through the GA process and a short peer review and I hope it's up to snuff. ~ HAL  333  21:17, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Image review the only outstanding issue is that File:1861 Lyceum.jpg does not list any publication as the license tag requires. However, I did not check licensing of the images I removed, so if they are added back, this review will not be valid. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  21:51, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I decided to just remove the image gallery. I'll try to find the publication date for that image. ~ HAL  333  22:00, 23 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Courtesy notice: I have opened an RfC at the university's talk page regarding the "Ole Miss" nickname. For the sake of centralizing discussion, I would encourage editors to place comments about the issue there. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 04:42, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Comment: before a full source review is done, please go through and clean up citation formatting. I'm seeing lots of information in the wrong parameters, similar sources with different formatting, citations missing information available at the source link, etc. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:03, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've used up my free NYT articles for the month. Could someone tell me who wrote this article? Thanks. ~ HAL  333  18:09, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Author is Janet Maslin. For future reference, most of the time you can disable JavaScript on a webpage, and you'll be able to see the full article. PoliticsIsExciting (talk) 19:36, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I have gone through several times and fixed up everything that I could catch. ~ HAL  333  19:57, 5 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Until the RFC is resolved over the name, I don't think the article meets the stability criteria -- In actu (Guerillero) Parlez Moi 17:39, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Coordinator note - possible name change
Subject, of course, to being reversed by the community, I consider that a debate over an article's name does not, in and of itself, cause it to be considered unstable. Even if the discussion is at an RfA. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:55, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Quite agree with Gog but I think, another week having passed without the nom progressing, that we'll have to call it a day now. Given the dearth of in-depth commentary I wouldn't generally be averse to a new nom within the usual 2-week window, though pragmatism suggests it might be better to wait until the RFC finishes.
