Edit requests for September 2024

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I’m an employee of ASU, and have a few requests to help update the article. I consulted with User:BruceMyBoy1212 at WhiteHatWiki, a paid consulting company, for guidance. Since I have a conflict of interest as an employee who falls under WP:PAID, I’m listing the suggested changes below for a volunteer Wikipedia editor to review and implement. Thank you.

1. In the STUDENT section of the infobox, please update the student enrollment numbers to the following:

| students = 57,144, Tempe^[1]
10,608, Downtown Phoenix^[1]
6,036, Polytechnic^[1]
4,904, West^[1]
62,062, Digital Immersion^[1] | undergrad = 114,484^[1] | postgrad = 31,171^[1] | faculty = 5,300^[1]

Why: The current numbers are outdated; the numbers I’ve provided are as of August 2024.

2. In the infobox, please update the OTHER CAMPUSES to the following:

| free_label1 = Other campuses

| free1 =

^[2]

Why: Updates to current campuses. Removes Glendale, Scottsdale, Show Low, and Shanghai campuses and adds Hawaii.

3. I have an update for the last paragraph of the article’s lead that begins “As of January 2022, ASU reported that its faculty of more than 5,000 scholars”. Please request that paragraph with the following:

As of February 2024,^[update] ASU reported that its faculty of more than 5,000 scholars^[1] included 5 Nobel laureates, 11 MacArthur Fellows, 10 Pulitzer Prize winners, 11 National Academy of Engineering members, 26 National Academy of Sciences members, 28 American Academy of Arts and Sciences members, 41 Guggenheim fellows, 163 National Endowment for the Humanities fellows, and 289 Fulbright Program American Scholars.^[3]

Why: The numbers currently are from 2022, so I updated the paragraph to reflect updated numbers as of August 2024.

4. In the CAMPUSES AND LOCATIONS section, please replace the first sentence of the first paragraph, which begins “Academic programs are spread across four distinct campuses…” with the following:

ASU has four campuses and four regional learning centers throughout Arizona,^[2] and campuses located in Los Angeles,^[4] Washington, D.C.^[5] and Hawaii.^[6]

Why: I’ve updated the sentence to include all of ASU’s campuses in Arizona and the United States, rewrote the sentence to be more neutral in tone and added secondary sources.

Thank you for taking the time to review these requests. Parker480 (talk) 21:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC) Parker480 (talk) 21:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the very clear request with properly formatted citations! ElKevbo (talk) 17:11, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 22 December 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved per WP:SNOW, considered in the context of the 100+ RMs proposed at once by this user. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:55, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arizona State University → Arizona State – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 13:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 15:01, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 said. I see no reason why we need to make the title more ambiguous, since the proposed title is literally also the name of a state. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:56, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
