Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Stanford University. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:16, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

• I've reverted your edit to Stanford University for two reasons. First, Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information; we don't need every pop culture reference to Stanford listed in the article. Second, and more critically, you deleted some necessary items from the article, including the code to generate the references, categories, and links to related articles on other languages' Wikipedias. Please leave those items in place. —C.Fred (talk) 01:25, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

• The deletion was entirely accidental. As for the pop-culture references, I'm confused as to why that's unacceptable given many other university wikipedia pages have identical sections (I was following the Yale page, but NYU, MIT, and Harvard have very similar sections). To me a university presence in popular culture is useful information to communicate how the university is seen amongst the general public. For example Stanford is frequently represented as a science/tech school, whereas Yale is represented as a traditionally elite(-ist) school. The NYU page makes no assertion about common threads amongst its pop culture references and merely lists them. ----
