Statutory college names

Sorry that I did not notice your message until today because it was left at the middle instead of the bottom of my talk page. The "present name" is the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In 1971 the New York State Legislature added the words "and Life Sciences" to the name; it did not delete the words "New York State". The web page you quoted is misleading, and I understand how you could be confused. Please read: http://www.cornell.edu/trustees/cornell_charter.pdf for the official and accurate names.

• By the way, I googled the phrase "New York State College of Human Ecology" and got 7,280 hits. In compiling Wikipedia articles, we must go to objective, factual sources, not "spin" or "puff piece" websites. The State Legislature named the colleges, and is the body that has the right to change the name as they did in 1971. I have read the website and understand how they are deliberately confusing. They used to say "New York State College of X" in the header gif, but the redesign is very confusing regarding the actual name of each college. 66.173.140.100 (talk) 02:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mojojojo - I removed the review for a few reasons. First, if you want to nominate the article for featured article status, the proper place to do that is the featured article candidates page, not the featured article review page, which is for articles being removed from featured status. Please follow the directions at WP:FAC to nominate the article for featured status, but please read the featured article criteria first and make sure that you think it meets them. Second, the page you transcluded onto the FAR page was an already archived page from 2008, when the article lost its featured status. We keep different reviews on different pages, so even if the article were to regain its featured status and then be reviewed again, it would be in a different archive. I hope this helps! Also, please be sure to place messages to users at the bottom of the talk page - that is where new messages go and ones placed in other areas of the talk page can be easily "lost" or not seen.

I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the Cornell University article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the featured article candidate instructions. --Andy Walsh (talk) 00:34, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
