Lead: definition of "bachelor"

Is a BA of Arts a degree (as implied in Bachelor (disambiguation) and bachelor's degree) or a degree holder? Philippe Depesch (talk) 14:48, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such thing as BA of arts. It the A next to the B is the arts. 73.61.215.105 (talk) 11:54, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but this doesn't answer the question. Philippe Depesch (talk) 06:38, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

Should Wikipedia being using the image of one particular individuals university diploma in the main infobox of this article? Isn't doing so a bit promotional, assuming this is the diploma of a real person (who is unlikely Wikipedia notable)? Even if the file's OK from a copyright standpoint (which isn't totally clear per c:COM:2D copying), it seems bit odd (at least to me) that the diploma of wither a non-Wikipedia notable person or a made-person would be featured in such a prominent way in a Wikipedia article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:25, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't object to using a particular diploma, if available. It could be rotated between institutions if there was a choice of images. However I don't think that the copyright status is correct, which would be a matter for Commons. File:NU Diploma.JPG is uploaded as own work, but looks like a real degree certificate, possibly with an imaginary name. TSventon (talk) 00:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TSventon: I've asked about the file's copyright status at c:COM:VPC#University Diploma, but assessing that could depend on determining whether this is actually a real diploma. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:59, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
