List of City University of New York institutions

 * Nominator(s):  MBisanz  talk 18:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I started this article a few months back, worked it through DYK and PR and this it now could pass for FL.  MBisanz  talk 18:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks great. I'd say to do the same thing as the state university list: combine the male/female percentages. Reywas92 Talk  03:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done.  MBisanz  talk 04:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose from
 * General
 * Dabs and external links check out fine.
 * Lead
 * Do not bold anything in the lead that is not the title: The City University of New York (CUNY) system is not the title of the article.
 * Done
 * If you complete my suggestion above, you can link to the article there, and unlink it in the sentence that follows the opening sentence.
 * Done
 * CUNY and the State University of New York are entirely different university systems, despite the fact that both are public institutions which receive funding from New York State. -- Is New York State referring to New York (U.S. state)?
 * Done
 * 64 SUNY and 24 CUNY campus units are all part of University of the State of New York -- 1)Per MOS:NUM, do not start sentences with a number 2)You need to add a (SUNY) to the sentence where the full spelling of this acronym appears, which I believe is the previous sentence before this 3)This sentence needs a period.
 * Done
 * USNY, which is the governmental umbrella organization for most education-related institutions and many education-related personnel (both public and private) in New York State, and which includes, as a component, the New York State Education Department. -- 1)Same thing here about the New York State
 * I thought I am only supposed to link a term the first time I use it?
 * Yeah you are, what I meant in my comment above was that I was asking you personally what you were referring to, and since you are referring to the U.S. state, it would be best if you state both these instances as the state of New York.-- T ru  c o   503 19:21, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done
 * History
 * The Free Academy later became the City College of New York, the oldest institution among the CUNY colleges. -- This link to Free Academy should come in the first mention, not here.
 * Done
 * Over the years the configuration of the units of CUNY has changed. -- 1)Comma after years
 * Done
 * Also, Lehman College was formerly a branch campus of Hunter College that was known as Hunter-in-the-Bronx. -- It would be best not to start this sentence with Also, reword
 * Done
 * State which unit has the smallest enrollment.
 * I thought about this, but the small professional schools screw up the size, so I thought it best to leave that out.
 * What I find missing is an explanation of the word unit, as to what it means. Does it mean university system? If so, you should explain that or have a link to it.
 * "Unit" is how I get around the distinctions of "school", "college", and "university", I could call it a "component" if it would be more clear.
 * Well what does the CUNY officially call its schools? Is it also units?-- T ru  c o   503 16:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it seems they call them "institutions". I'll change the article over to that terminology tonight.  MBisanz  talk 17:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * When you do that, you may also need to rename the list itself.-- T ru  c o   503 17:26, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done
 * List
 * On my screen the table starts at the second image, leaving white space above it next to the first image.
 * Done
 * Remove the periods from the notes section, they are not complete statements.
 * Done
 * Shouldn't The City College sort by "C" instead of "T"?
 * Done
 * The enrollment column does not sort properly, use sort for this.
 * Done
 * The references should not be sortable.
 * Done
 * References
 * There is an inconsistency in the linking of publishers, either link all of them that have Wikipedia articles or don't link them at all.-- T ru  c o   503 01:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved/clarified; list now meets WP:WIAFL. -- T ru  c o   503 02:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The only thing you got to do now is move this FLC to the new title of the article. -- T ru  c o   503 02:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
