Edit warring over the description of the honors program

An unregistered editor has begun an edit war to insist that the description of this university's honors program include the phrase "a community of scholars for justice." The information is sourced to the honors program's own website but it strikes me as much more about advertising and promotion than about meaningful substance that is helpful for readers (without any examples and discussion, I don't even know what it's supposed to mean; it sounds a bit pretentious for a group of undergraduate students). It's certainly not something that an editor should edit war about. ElKevbo ( talk) 04:08, 21 April 2019 (UTC) reply

Not in an edit war, I only undid your edit once. The honors program recently revised its curriculum; it remains substantively the same, though its new official motto is “a community of scholars for justice.” Each course in the new program incorporates the concerns of diversity or justice in some substantive way, subject to the instructor’s discretion. In other words, the phrase conveys meaningful information concerning the program, and is not an empty motto, which is why I undid your edit. -- 69.121.96.126 ( talk) 04:13, 21 April 2019 (UTC) reply

A bit over the top, don't you think?

Pictures of "significant" alumni and all the rest....

No, at least not compared to, for example, the Columbia University article. If I understand what this comment is trying to say. Indefatigable2 talk 19:11, 8 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Location of Good Article review

Drown Soda, was the GA review done on another talk page or work page? I ask because I don't see any commentary from the reviewer in the "GA Review" section transcluded above. If so, could you copy and paste it to this talk page with a link to where it came from? Rjjiii ( talk) 06:09, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Rjjiii: It has been a number of years so I cannot recall much about this—I do see there is no GA review on the talk page, which is abnormal. I see in my personal talk page archive that there were a couple of posts made by the reviewer, but not a review proper(?) - Drown Soda ( talk) 06:23, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
That's okay, thanks for checking. It's not uncommon for new reviewers to place reviews somewhere other than the review's page. Sadly, the reviewing editor has passed, so there's no telling. Take care, Rjjiii ( talk) 06:32, 13 January 2024 (UTC) reply
