Talk:Public policy school

- Your ranking links to "Top Public Affairs Schools", which includes a broad range of fields beyond public policy. It would be an improvement to link to "Top Schools for Public Policy", which is a sub-category of "Public Affairs".

I'm wondering if this page should really exist separately from public policy and Category:Public policy schools. What does it add? - ChrisKennedy(talk) 19:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- I also think page brings better and more specific information to readers which can not be properly covered in public policy. For same reason other feilds have seperate article for their schools. Farmanesh
[edit] not much yet
You're probably right about this article not adding much---for now. Just remember, this is a new article, and it's quality is going to steadily improve. Law school, business school, medical school, all have their own pages---and public policy schools should too.
[edit] title
I disagreed with the direction of the hist merge. The generic article public policy school takes lower case. Note the evidence of special:whatlinkshere/public policy school. Any article about a specific school has upper case. -- RHaworth 10:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] major change in name of clean up
Recently there was a major change in the page, it would be nice if the wikipedian discuss such major clean up before doing it and explain his/her reasons. Farmanesh
If admission information is wrong please complete them rather deleting them. School name's are based on most recognized ranking system, they are not arbitarily selected. Wikipedia is about providing relevent information to users and these are both relevent and objective. Please have a look to the provided source. Farmanesh
- That is all wrong. Admissions information cannot be "completed" because there are no formal standards. Just giving some standards which nobody actually adheres to is useless. Further, when you give a random 17 from a supposed list of 50 that's pretty arbitrary. Now, even if the information were complete and accurate, it still doesn't belong here. Wikipedia is not "about providing relevent information" (sic); Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and this information adheres to no encyclopediac standards, is unverifiable, and violates Wikipedia policies on academic boosterism. I'm removing it again. -James Howard (talk/web) 12:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Furthermore, there is a link at the bottom to an intended comprehensive list of policy schools, making the listification of this article completely redundant. -James Howard (talk/web) 12:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
