Cutting out of awards won by Alumni from the opening paragraph

[edit]

On several occasions a short list of awards won by NJIT alumni have been either removed or relocated from the opening paragraphs (3 in all) in the NJIT page. I am perplexed by this as a review of other stem-focused schools shows that most have similar listings in their opening paragraphs. So, it appears that if the school is famous enough, such lists are OK but for lesser-known schools it's a no-no. Among its alumni, NJIT counts a Turing Award winner, Judea Pearl, a congressional medal of Honor winner - one of the monuments men - and National Medal of Technology and Innovation recipient. Call me biased but I think it's pretty clear that a double-standard is in place and has been for quite a while. For example, check out MIT or Stanford or Harvard or Carnegie Mellon or NYU or University of Pennsylvania or University of Texas at Austin or University of California, at: Los Angeles, San Diago, Santa Barbara, etc. etc. (my hand is getting tired.) SO, what gives??? Rrsimone (talk) 17:42, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

accessing a comment interchange that no longer seems to be available on one pariy's talk pg.

[edit]

Template:HELP I sent a note to GuardianH on his talk page regarding his relocating of a short list of notable awards,e.g.Turing,from the opening paragraphs of the New Jersey Institute of Technology article to the list of notable alumni. The relocation was done on 4 July, this year. I put my write up on both his talk page and my talk page shortly thereafter. I've had important issues to deal with lately and I would like to continue the conversation but that conversation no longer appears on guardian's talk page, or more likely, it's there but I don't know how to access it.
