Higher education

The higher education section does not mention Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. The article mentions IUPUI in a single sentence about redlining. Seems like it would deserve at least a mention in the higher education section too? -- Jaireeodell (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

The article contains uncited text, including entire paragraphs.
At over 15,000 words, this article is WP:TOOBIG. I recommend that a subject-matter expert trim the article for excess information, move prose to other articles and WP:SPINOUT into new articles when appropriate.
"History.com" and "Bell, Trudy E. (February 18, 2013)" (a blog) might be unreliable sources. I recommend that these be replaced.

Is anyone interested in addressing the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 13:50, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:21, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article has several uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. It also struggles to be concise, with over 15,000 words in the article: information should be spun out to daughter articles or removed if unnecessary. Potential unreliable sources like "History.com" and "Bell, Trudy E. (February 18, 2013)" (a blog) are used and should be reassessed for their use in the article.
