I had posted several pictures from around campus and someone took it upon themselves to remove them. It would be a good idea to create a section for photos that don't interfere with the content in the article. Perhaps a separate entry with photos?

pics? no pics? too many pics?
feel free to improve on the formatting...
Sheesh, Zach, you could have given fair warning since all the pics were easily licensable.
Hey guys, if pictures are still an issue, I live near the campus and can take decent pics. You can look at my pic of the duck pond I just put up.
I put the smaller picture of the duck pond, that was in the same spot as mine is now, in the gallery. But now the gallery is bigger...Will that be an issue? It looks okay to me, but I just wanna be sure... PerryPlanet 06:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how to best start it or where to get properly sourced information. There are a number of research centers, which could and should be mentioned in this section. Such as those listed here: http://www.unm.edu/research.html
He was listed in the alumni section as the discover of Uranus. Whatever he might have done to be notable, he most certainly did not discover Uranus, which was discovered by Herschel in the 18th century. If indeed he is a notable alumni. feel free to put him back, but mention the true reason for his notability. Wschart 03:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I've tagged this section as needing additional sources. I will remove the names that are not sourced either here or in the linked-to Wikipedia articles. Thanks! → Wordbuilder ( talk) 16:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
The original content occupied one line of text.
Other person edited my contribution. Removed all the external hyperlinks to the source material. Placed "Edward Abby" back on line 1.
This is the extent of information.
After I found notes on the edit, I shortened the length of text shorter than other material on same page, same section. (see 1. below)
(2. below) List was not "alphabetized" to beginning
I revised again:
and sent the below note to person not likeing my work, as follows.
Revised - Thank you
1. The content I added uses 133 Characters and 22 words. 80% of the white space. On the Same line:
The above content contained two links, 139 Characters and 21 Words.
2. The list was and is not "now alphabetized as it should be". see below.
1. Edward Abbey 2. John Willard Baker, 3. Preston Dennard, 4. Rudolfo Anaya, 5. Warren J. Baker, 6. Hank Baskett, 7. Andrew Boyens
Again - it was edited.
1. Removed information directly tying Person to the University, "Lobo Runner WAC Cross-Country Championships"
2. Remove all links except one internal link.
3. Made no attempt to compromise on the amount or content.
This is OK
or this
and this is not?
This is more readable
I do not see a problem with either material. Oneeno ( talk) 05:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
The issue I have is, nearly the entire line is blue and most of the links are external. Further, there is an article on the subject; if readers are interested, they can click to find out more. There is no need to go into many details here. Finally, even though the list had become unalphabetized before the addition, that does not mean is should remain that way. → Wordbuilder ( talk) 16:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Explain why the content I add is the exception to the example?
In addition to that noted above, here again is what is on the same page.
This entry has 14 words. More than half,(8) are "blue"
Then there is the detail issue!
Yet neither are edited . . .

I have an additional question. The description for Baker states, in part, "WAC Cross-Country Championships". Did he merely run in the competition or did he place? If he did not place, it is sufficient to simply state that he was a runner. → Wordbuilder ( talk) 14:51, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

We don't need a picture of every building on campus. We had as many images as would fit, and somebody added a pic of Tight. We cannot start squeezing text between images or otherwise having too many images in this article. Something needs to be left out, or a gallery of buildings needs to be created and all the building pics put in it.
Also, please do not use manual sizing on images. Putting "upright" on the pic of Tight serves the same purpose and doesn't override individual preferences. Also, left-placed images are supposed to indent third-level or higher headings, but right-placed images should go inside a section, after the heading, and not be placed before a heading or at the end of the previous section. I've had all the image sizing and placement in accordance with image use policy. Any added images must also conform to policy. If that can't be done, they should be left out.

If the buildings and architecture are so important, somebody should create a Buildings of the University of New Mexico campus article and get them all out of this article. Yworo ( talk) 14:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I have twice removed a list of the elected student government officers (and their hometowns). This material has no place in this encyclopedia article as it's extraordinarily unlikely that any reader will care about this ephemera. I am not slighting these students when I assert that this information simply isn't of broad enough importance to warrant inclusion here. ElKevbo ( talk) 18:20, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Where is UNM ever referred to as "University of New Mexico at Albuquerque" or "UNM-Albuquerque"? Forty years in Albuquerque, six on campus, and I've never seen or heard that. Google brings up no references that use those names. Laszlo Panaflex ( talk) 22:04, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Following other university articles, should we clarify that the 'main campus' is located in Albuquerque? UNM has multiple branches so is 'located' at many locations in the state. 2601:8C1:8580:16CB:696C:5F89:B4E7:E36A ( talk) 17:40, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
