This is an encylopedia article not Fiske's Guide to Colleges. Therefore statistics are to be kept to a minimum. Vincent Gray 06:45, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I eliminated some of the statistics... a lot of what remains seems to me either very general (most universities have many of the same sports teams...), or irrelevant (what's this about partnerships and memberships? this isn't a corporate marketing ad). But I fixed the grammar somewhat... still needs work. Though, for such a small school, I'm not sure if there's much to be said. In fact, for just about any school, I'm not sure what should and should not be said... LordAmeth 23:44, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Read the article before checking Talk, and I had the same impression. At the least I'd take out the sports teams and partnership sections. Also, is the # of degrees granted relevant? I'd say no. Keithlaw 00:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Another question: What was the ceremony of 7/31/97? The article mentions a ceremony, but not its purpose. | Keithlaw 22:36, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I wonder who on earth calls Sabanci, "Harvard of the Middle East", posssibly other than its own students. It is a reputable institution in Turkey, but it is by no means called as such in general media or elsewhere. If there is no objection in a few days, I am going to delete this part.

well fethi it's too late now... luv, orhan Juniormint

oh, i should keep track of my words. thanks anyway.18.252.6.149 03:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I made a number of corrections to improve grammar, usage, and clarity. In addition, the article uses too much passive voice, but I wasn't able to correct that because I'm not sure who exactly is doing the action in the sentences with passive voice. Norman314 03:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, theres plenty to say about this school; the school philosophy and education system is very radical in Turkish standards. It actually stands out as the only university with such a system and a liberal view. Hopefully in the future it may set a good example for schools all around Turkey. On the other hand, statistics may also be important for some people. Who told you, you could decide what is necessary and what is not? What is encyclopedic information? I see wikipedia as an information source, dont limit it to the old concept of "encyclopedia". All information may be needed, and Im sure wikipedia has plenty of harddisk space, you should not worry about that. Just categorize information the right way, thats all you should care about, do not destroy it! 222.13.239.89 04:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC) ugur

[edit] conflicting information

The information in the box and the information in the article proper are in conflict (e.g., year of foundation, numbers of students).76.240.79.67 (talk) 03:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SabanciUniversityLogoSmall.jpg

Image:SabanciUniversityLogoSmall.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
