Hello, I'm doing a bit of clean-up at Red River Shootout in anticipation of a few extra page views this weekend. If anyone here would like to help out that would be great. (And yes, I am aware that corporate interests and political correctness have led to a name-change). Johntex\ talk 22:01, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
According to this document on endowment assets, OU's endowment for FY2005 is $777.5 million, not quite the $1.3 billion listed on the OU wiki page. I'll change the amount, but feel free to revise per a substantiated link verifying the $1.3b amount. Thanks!
Be careful in relying on NACUBO as the gospel. I'd check with UO's fundraising arm. In some cases -- Michigan State's is one of them -- where only the main university endowment was listed, but not the separate listing of the foundation (which oftentimes, is separate). Also, total ednowment dollar amount doesn't always equal "current market value" which is what NACUBO rates. Keep in mind, some endowed gifts are of property (like stocks or land), bequests, trusts or other gifts whose value either hasn't been set or is shifting. 151.197.64.224 03:32, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
The list of Colleges is worth having on Wikipedia, however, I think it ought to have its own article, as it fills up a lot of the main page. Ottergoose 17:04, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I made some changes to the Norman Campus section. I broke it off into three parts, Main Campus, North Campus, and South Campus. I added some information to these parts. What else needs to be changed? -- Nmajdan 15:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I removed the list of sororities as we want to limit lists in the main OU article. If someone wants to create this list, create it under its own article (like List of University of Oklahoma Fraternities and Sororities) and insert a "See Also" under the subheading Greek Life. I added a couple paragraphs in place of the list. I eventually want to move the Greek Life article under a Student Life header. I may look at UofM and MSU's articles to see how they did it.-- Nmajdan 13:45, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
North Campus is over 3 miles north of Boyd street, the so called boundry of Main campus.
Also, the University owns land south of SH9, and this has been left out. -Anon.
Since I don't know when this section will be written, either by myself or someone else, I am going to skip it for now. However, it will be needed before this article can get featured.-- Nmajdan 21:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Since Collegiate Gothic is mentioned in the History section as the basic architectural style for the campus, why not mention that the specific style is called Cherokee Gothic and is quite unique to OU? 76.187.242.213 15:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
It would be nice to have some historic campus photographs on this article. Also, the picture labeled campus corner should be relabeled as it is difficult to see campus corner from that vantage point and for those unfamiliar with OU it won't make any sense.
I attempted to rotate HolmbergHall2, but it might still need a little tweaking. I like the photo of the stadium on the east side. I agree, I wish the cars were not there, but its a rare occasion when that lot is empty. This picture was taken on a weekday morning before 8:30AM during the summer. I don't know if there's a time when there are fewer people on campus. I'm going through and uploading some higher resolution images of some I previously uploaded.-- Nmajdan 16:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I think someone should post a better picture of the south oval - maybe one with the fall mums in full bloom.
I have a better quality picture of the Bizzell library of much higher quality. Its on my other hard drive so it will be a few days before I can post it. I took the picture personally, so there is no worry about copyright. -- Webmaestro 04:08, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

As part of the GA Sweeps, I have taken a look at this article. Upon review of Wikipedia:Good article criteria, this extremely broad and well-written article has some slight faults that I would like to call attention to in hopes of improving the article. At the current time there are 10 paragraphs that have no citations. This means that either the article needs to be reorganized or specific subjects are without verification. An additional paragraph has a {{ fact}} tag. I am going to contact all those who I believe will undertake cleaning this article up to retain its GA status.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 13:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm trying to gauge the interested in created a Big 12 WikiProject and wondering who would like to be involved. There are already pages for WikiProject Big Ten and WikiProject ACC. A Big 12 project would cover the schools themselves and anything to do with conference sports including: events, rivalries, teams, seasons, championships and lore. There is already quite a bit of activity here on Wikipedia regarding the Big 12, and I think a project could help coordinate and unify our efforts. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Big 12 if you are interested, and add your name to the list. Grey Wanderer ( talk) 00:24, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

To get this to FA, the history section needs to be updated. Needs a better sample of information from all periods of the university. Right now the sections on pre-Boren and post-Boren are roughly the same. Need more info on the "middle ages" of the university (say 1950-1990).↔ NMajdan• talk 17:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC) |

This discrepancy needs to be cleared up. Maybe we're using different definitions of the word "campus" in different places, a recipe for confusion. Does anyone have anything authoritative on this? I.e., something besides personal opinion? ― Mandruss ☎ 06:42, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Ok, this relatively minor blip in OU's 125-year history now occupies, by a rough online word count, about ten percent of the article's History section. How in hell does that pass WP:WEIGHT? I am reverting the latest addition, which can be added to the main article about the incident. I feel the related content in this article should be reduced even further (now at about 7.5%), but I'm not going to take action on that at this time. ― Mandruss ☎ 07:43, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

At the current time there are 10 paragraphs that have no citations. This means that either the article needs to be reorganized or specific subjects are without verification. An additional paragraph has a {{ fact}} tag. I am going to contact all those who I believe will undertake cleaning this article up to retain its GA status.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 13:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm trying to gauge the interested in created a Big 12 WikiProject and wondering who would like to be involved. There are already pages for WikiProject Big Ten and WikiProject ACC. A Big 12 project would cover the schools themselves and anything to do with conference sports including: events, rivalries, teams, seasons, championships and lore. There is already quite a bit of activity here on Wikipedia regarding the Big 12, and I think a project could help coordinate and unify our efforts. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Big 12 if you are interested, and add your name to the list. Grey Wanderer ( talk) 00:24, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:University of Oklahoma/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
To get this to FA, the history section needs to be updated. Needs a better sample of information from all periods of the university. Right now the sections on pre-Boren and post-Boren are roughly the same. Need more info on the "middle ages" of the university (say 1950-1990).↔ NMajdan• talk 17:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC) |

Now that the article 2015 University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon racism incident has been created and fleshed out (good job, btw), is there consensus to remove the relevant subheader from this article and move a link to the new article to the "See also" section? This would be the same treatment that the 2005 OU bombing receives. HiDrNick! 12:56, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

There appears to be some disagreement as to whether the research campus is part of the south campus. Supporting:
Opposing:
This discrepancy needs to be cleared up. Maybe we're using different definitions of the word "campus" in different places, a recipe for confusion. Does anyone have anything authoritative on this? I.e., something besides personal opinion? ― Mandruss ☎ 06:42, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Ok, this relatively minor blip in OU's 125-year history now occupies, by a rough online word count, about ten percent of the article's History section. How in hell does that pass WP:WEIGHT? I am reverting the latest addition, which can be added to the main article about the incident. I feel the related content in this article should be reduced even further (now at about 7.5%), but I'm not going to take action on that at this time. ― Mandruss ☎ 07:43, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

David Boren just just announced he will step down as university president next year. The news has already been reflected on Boren's BLP, but I think it could/should be added here too. Is the news lead-worthy though? Kerdooskis ( talk) 20:03, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
It should be added to Boren's biography. //nepaxt 23:31, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Could someone please help to create an article about OU's new president. Here's a start. Thanks. //nepaxt 04:56, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I propose that sections 2.3 2.3.1 2.3.2 be split into a separate page called University of Oklahoma-Tulsa Schusterman Center. This topic can be expanded upon and these sections are large enough to make their own page. Jeramypappas ( talk) 15:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
Apologies if I'm doing this wrong. I'm new to Wikipedia. I actually submitte an OU-Tulsa draft article ( /info/en/?search=Draft:University_of_Oklahoma-Tulsa_Schusterman_Center) and was referred to start this discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeramypappas ( talk • contribs) 15:46, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
