[edit] BYU FA?

Does anyone think that the main BYU article is getting close to FA status? --Eustress (talk) 20:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

It meets the verifiability criteria. I'm more worried about balance and copy-editing issues. Wrad (talk) 22:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, Wrad. Could you explain more about what should be done before nomination? I'd like to help, but you have a lot more experience with FAs. Thanks. --Eustress (talk) 20:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project members

FYI...I will be contacting current project members to see who is still committed to participating in this project, as only Wrad and I are currently contributing (I think). Thanks! --Eustress (talk) 20:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template picture

Does anyone know how to change the picture on the BYU WikiProject template? It's a bit unidentifiable, and something more BYU-related (perhaps the statue of BY or Y-Mountain) would be more appropriate. Thanks. --Eustress (talk) 21:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marriott School Article

I have brought the article up to par and nominated it for GA status.--Eustress (talk) 22:38, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WPBYU Page Construction

I'm going to be doing some construction on the project page for the next couple days--it's easiest to do it here rather than in a sandbox, and not too many people check this page right now, so I think the temporary sacrifice will be worth it in the long-run...so if things look weird, just be a little patient. If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or on my talk page. Thanks! --Eustress (talk) 21:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I think it looks good so far, I just hope you're not planning to keep that red color in the background! Wrad (talk) 02:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
What red? The only red I see is in the userbox for BYUH. --Eustress (talk) 13:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Gah! I'm actually partially colorblind. Is that brown? I'll just take your word for it. Wrad (talk) 15:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah...it's all tan-brown. No worries. --Eustress (talk) 16:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Department of Psychology, Brigham Young University‎

this article was just nominated for speedy deletion as db-group. I declined the speedy, as it doesnt fit under sb-group, for it can be read as an implied assertion of importance to be a department of a major university. But practice at AfD has been tro delete articles about individual university departments, except for a very few of the ones with the greatest international notability. It will probably therefore be taken to AfD rather quickly. I do not think it's a good idea to create such articles as independent articles.DGG (talk) 00:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think this article should stand on its own - it should be deleted. I re-added the delete tag. --Descartes1979 (talk) 22:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
