Recent changes

[edit]

Recently FirstPrezzzz1776 has made a lot of changes to this article, some of which are good and some of which are problematic. I, along with @ElKevbo, Cmr08, TjBison, Coolcaesar, Eccekevin, and Rdp060707: and others have been attempting to copyedit, remove promotional sounding language, remove inappropriate links, edit for style, edit for content, and basically improve these recent additions. FirstPrezzzz1776 appears not to take this well, and has often reverted us. I have started this section as an invitation to discuss the content and format of this article in light of this apparent conflict. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

[edit]
This is a screen shot of En:University of California, Hastings College of the Law as it appears on my screen as of April 9 2021.

First, let's discuss the left aligned photo in the lead. I have included a screen shot of how the lead section appears on my screen with the photo left aligned. Notice how the text is sandwiched in between the photo and the infobox. Notice the large whitespace under the lead. This is undesirable. Now, I am using quite a large monitor. On somewhat smaller screens, such as a laptop screen, it doesn't look as bad. But on a very small screen, or if the browser window is resized so that you can have multiple windows open at once, it looks even worse. It is better not to have that photo left aligned. I have moved it to the right, and Eccekevin has moved it to the right, but FirstPrezzzz1776 seems intent on having it on the left, despite the guidance of the manual of style. FirstPrezzzz1776, please explain why you believe that picture must be left-aligned? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:31, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it seems the photo was in the article twice, which is unnecessary. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:46, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think your monitor visualization is unique to you. It appears on the top-left side and does not distort the text or make it difficult on a phone or smaller screen. It was added in the intro section to add a visual representation of the university since none was present. I feel strongly that this should be corrected, and if not on the left side at least in the beginning to provide a visual representation. FirstPrezzzz1776 (talk) 07:26, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter how strongly you feel about this - this is not your article and you are not entitled to edit war with other editors to impose your version of the article on everyone else, especially not after multiple editors have objected to your edits. Stop edit warring. ElKevbo (talk) 13:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Name change to UC College of the Law, San Francisco

[edit]

California Gov. Newsom signed AB1936 into law on Sep 23rd, which changes the name of the law school to UC College of the Law, San Francisco (UC Law SF). It appears to not be effective until Jan 1, 2023. Should this article be moved immediately or should it wait until the name is in use?

I would wait until the name is changed. We've already mentioned in the article that the name will change. The encyclopedia in my opinion reflects what has happened -- not what will or may happen. Smallchief (talk) 18:22, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's now Jan 1, 2023. The name change has happened. — Red XIV (talk) 00:52, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
