Museums section needs updating
The following statement in the museums section is no longer true:
"The building also houses three research museums: the Museum of Anthropology, Museum of Paleontology. Today, the collections are primarily housed and displayed in the Ruthven Museums Building which was completed in 1928.[1]"
The Museum of Natural History is located in the Biological Sciences building, while the Research Museums Center houses the Museum of Anthropology, Museum of Paleontology, Museum of Zoology, and Herbarium. I believe the Ruthven building no longer exists. Old Dan & I (talk) 17:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Requested move 22 December 2024
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved per WP:SNOW, considered in the context of the 100+ RMs proposed at once by this user. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:48, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
University of Michigan → UMich – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 14:22, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 14:55, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add
{{reply to|Eyer}}to your message. 16:15, 22 December 2024 (UTC) - Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 and ElKevbo said. The proposed title is not sufficiently explanatory to people unfamiliar with the university. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. Keeping the title as is would remain in line with titles of articles on other universities.VSA72 (talk) 00:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
