Please give reason for deletion of well-cited, accurate and relevant edits. Information is relevant to Utah State University.
I've removed a large swath of text that was previously removed for violating NPOV, so please discuss further and reach a consensus before restoring it. This is the equivalent of a PR piece. Praxidicae ( talk) 18:09, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Well cited and accurate information. Relevant facts are not a PR piece. Your opinion is subjective and is not cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TechMastaSwimmer ( talk • contribs) 18:12, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
You deleted all information on the SDL. That is not bragging. You are deleting important historical information providing context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TechMastaSwimmer ( talk • contribs) 18:17, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
An unregistered editor is insisting that the lede of this article include several details that I believe are unnecessary: (a) the university is the only land-grant research institution in the state, (b) a sentence about the Space Dynamics Laboratory, (c) 2022 NSF-produced ranking of research and development expenditures, and (d) a claim that "USU's undergraduate research program is the second oldest program of its kind in the nation." This information is all unnecessarily detailed for the lede which is supposed to be a brief summary of the most important information in the article. ElKevbo ( talk) 01:54, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: https://www.usu.edu/about/fast-facts/. Copied or closely paraphrased material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.)
For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, provided it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Redraiderengineer ( talk) 22:24, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Several universities claim to be "the West Point of the West." Additionally, Utah State University's claim appears to be supported mainly by a student's master's thesis; several other sources within the university cite that as cause for the claim. The thesis makes a plausible-sounding reason for why it might have received such a title but does not substantiate the claim further. Considering the claim's questionable nature and presence among other institutions, it may be beneficial to remove it until a consensus on its origin can be reached.
