Yes, I know, another colleges list. This one details post-secondary institutions in the Badger State, and is part of my ongoing project to clean-up the lists seen on this page. Thanks in advance for reviewing! Ruby 2010/2013 21:21, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bold links are frowned upon per WP:CONTEXTLINK, so I would add plainrowheaders to the wikitable sortable bit to fix this issue.
  • Two out of three tables have captions, would make sure they all do for consistency
  • ref 64 the hyphen should be an en dash, most of the refs do use en dashes but would go through and check them to be certain

All three points addressed. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 21:42, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "UW–Madison is one of 26 campuses" -> "It is one..."
  • "as it had an enrolment of" -> "with an enrolment of".
  • "Beloit College, located in Beloit, Wisconsin," welllllll, this is a list of stuff in Wisconsin, do we need to say it's in Wisconsin again?
  • Link "accredited" first time round.
  • Key table should meet MOS:DTT.
  • Prof Psych school (the one with 75 alumni) is not linked in the lead but is linked in the table. Be consistent.
  • Accreditation column, lots of acronyms per the key, but "The Higher Learning Commission (NCA)", why?
  • Again, things like NASD which aren't linked in the key but are linked in the table... be consistent.
  • Defunct institutions - ref col doesn't need to be sortable.
  • Ref 76, e.g., why is the title in italics?

The Rambling Man (talk) 18:06, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All done except the last point (Ref 76 is a book, hence the italics). Thank you for your comments. Ruby 2010/2013 17:07, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support with minor modifications. It's about time that you got around to Wisconsin ;-). First, I added defunct Gale College in Galesville which I recently started. I am not aware of any other defunct colleges or universities. I took care of some minor fixes. Perhaps the article should somehow note that the location column is actually the location of the main campus on many of the colleges (especially the technical colleges). On Mid-State Tech – the cities needs cleanup (either pick one city or take out "Wisconsin"). How have other states incorporated the list into the state's template?

  • Thank you for the support. I fixed the Mid-State location error, and have added a link to the list in the Wisconsin colleges template. I kept the locations column consistent with other colleges lists, though I have added that it is sourced from the Carnegie website. I don't think it's way necessary to add a caveat about the locations (they can click on the colleges' article link to find out more). Ruby 2010/2013 15:46, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
