This article started with a cut-and-paste from http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=University_of_Wisconsin-Milwaukee&oldid=86192145#History to save material that had been added and subsequently removed as too detailed for the main article. Andrewa 19:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Another editor has twice now removed two very relevant links from the external links section. The reason appears to be that these external links are already cited inline in the text he has added to the article.
Wikipedia:Citing sources#Embedded HTML links reads in part In the References section, you should also list a full citation. Hopefully, this will also be done in due course. Andrewa 06:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
This hasn't happened. The two links in question are:
I've now added the second to the University School of Milwaukee article. Perhaps we also need an article on Milwaukee-Downer College? Andrewa 18:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
The mass copying of the remaining history section from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has led to a rather strangely structured article. For example, there's now a section headed University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which is presumably the subject of the whole of this article, not just this section. I don't think it's enough just to rename this section, a whole refactor is needed IMO. Andrewa 19:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Curiouser and curiouser... the editor who added the section on early history now seems to say below that in his opinion the history of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee only started in 1956. But he's also proposed merging this article with Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee. Wikipedia is very much a work in progress! Andrewa 23:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
The external link of this article provides a source. It starts UW-Milwaukee's history from the Milwaukee State Normal School not the University of Wisconsin in Madison. This is how most people think of UWM's history. Also, I don't think it is a good idea to start this article with the seal. Miaers 17:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I've put a citation needed tag on the sentence University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was founded in the belief that Milwaukee needs a great public university to become a great city.
Hopefully, this is a well-known and significant quote; If so a citation could save it. Otherwise it's pure academic boosterism (which it rather reeks of anyway). Andrewa 19:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I've removed (again) a number of duplicate wikilinks per the Wikipedia:Glossary guidelines, which say that to de-wikify or un-wikify is: "To remove (de-link) a wikification of an article. This can be done to remove self-references or excessive common-noun Wikification (also known as 'sea of blue')." Some of the UWM articles have a 'sea of blue' problem and I've been trying to tidy it up. Please don't revert such tidyings-up. -- Orange Mike 00:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I've reverted some edits by Miaers that removed most of the intro and replaced it with one that was just plain boring and seemed to offer no advantage. Please discuss. Andrewa 03:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Here's a theory as to why three dates... which doesn't belong in the article of course, that would be original research as Maiers will no doubt point out (I think it is original work to say that the history of UW-Milwaukee started at the same time as UW-Madison, he says above). It's an exploration aimed at eventually improving the articles involved.
In 1956, UWM was formed largely from the union of two existing institutions, the Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin Extension in Milwaukee. The seal was therefore designed with the founding dates of these two institutions, plus 1956. That's not exactly rocket science, and it shouldn't be too hard to source it is my guess.
So now, why do some UWM people (Maiers as an obvious example) want to leave out the first date? That's not rocket science either... in 1956, the overseeing institution was (rather clumsily IMO) called the University of Wisconsin, which had previously been the name of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. But the Madison campus (which I'll call Madison for short rather than UW) also continued to be closely associated with the name University of Wisconsin, and still is half a century later. In hindsight this was a brutal insult to what is now UWM, especially considering the intense rivalry between UWM and Madison. It heightened the understandable feeling that the whole thing was Madison taking over, and it's still a sore wound. Andrewa 19:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

This UWM IP (apparently a fixed one) keeps purging pre-1956 information from all UWM articles. I'm reverting him/her, but wish I could get some help and feedback. -- Orange Mike 19:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Image:UWM seal.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
