Info box shows Seattle campus attendance numbers but that isn't made clear

[edit]

I was going to edit it to say (2021 Seattle campus) but I thought that would get repetitive. The problem stems from the fact that University of Washington is a whole system of universities now. Spinwin2 (talk) 05:26, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute about "In film & television" section

[edit]

The article currently has a brief "In film & television" section with the following contents:

It's not at all clear what readers are supposed to learn about this institution from these two unexplained, contextless bullet points (one of which is unsourced). 3vvww661, what are you insisting that this section remain in the article? ElKevbo (talk) 02:08, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As essential cult classics (I am not one who is especially interested in both shows as an active viewer) the popularity of the shows create a deservedness in being mentioned on this article because according to the sources, on some occasions they were filmed on Washington university campus. The sourceless mention has a source which can be supplanted from The Sex Lives of College Girls#Filming which provides three sources of the filming location being on campus. If these were not notable films, I would remove them altogether entirely, as you had. I believe the mention differs from meaningless trivia because of the cultural relevance of the media, unlike all other shows you removed. 3vvww661 (talk) 23:16, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A short introduction statement the length of one paragraph (Two would be endearing and unnecessary) pertaining to both the cultural relevance/success of the shows and the relevance and relationship to the campus through filming I believe would justify the section’s existence. In correspondence, I’d be glad to consider and adapt forward with more of your input! 3vvww661 (talk) 23:18, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest removing these or making them their own page linked to from the main page.
We may also want to differentiate between Film/TV that is set in UW, vs filmed in UW, in the line describing these items.
If we are including all films set at UW, I suspect it would be a long list due to UW's cinema education.
A brief search returns dozens of results - see https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?locations=University%20of%20Washington,%20Seattle,%20Washington,%20USA 2601:600:9700:A1:0:0:0:100C (talk) 18:07, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add list of schools/departments/colleges?

[edit]

There's quite a few schools/departments/colleges at UW that have extant wikipedia pages (there's also a couple more that I think should, but that's not a discussion for here. will draft them for reviewing at some point) but only a few of them are linked anywhere on this page. I was thinking it might be useful to compile a list or table of them somewhere on the article?

May not be an exhaustive list, but ones that I could find included University of Washington Information School, University of Washington School of Law, University of Washington School of Pharmacy, University of Washington School of Dentistry, University of Washington School of Medicine, University of Washington School of Nursing, University of Washington School of Social Work, University of Washington School of Drama, University of Washington School of Public Health, Foster School of Business, University of Washington Department of Geography, University of Washington College of Education, University of Washington Department of Global Health, Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington Department of Bioengineering, School of Art + Art History + Design, Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington College of Arts and Sciences, University of Washington College of Engineering, College of Built Environments.

Of those, I found mention of Dept of Bioengineering, School of Medicine, School of Law, School of Art, School of Comp Sci, and Foster School linked in the article already (may also be a non-exhaustive list, I'm bad at spotting things). Information school is also listed in "see also."

Sorry that I haven't just gone ahead and done this myself -- fairly inexperienced editor and not confident I know how to format something like that well. Maianovae (talk) 06:28, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
