I am nominating this for featured list because I created it several months ago and have put many hours into making it a useful and visually pleasing list. I believe it meets all of the FL-criteria and have fixed the problems noted at its peer review. MBisanz talk 00:51, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*I don't know if male/female ratio is an important enough statistic to even be included here, but they should definitely be merged into a single column, as they are simply inverse to each other.
*County is probably fine, but I would think the town/city the college is in is more important.
I think the lead and everything else look fine. Just combine those two identical columns. Reywas92Talk 02:36, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I will merge the m/f column tonight.
- My thought on the towns was that many schools have multiple campuses in multiple towns. I suppose I could add a column for the main campus town. I'll think more about it today. MBisanz talk 11:45, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- On further thought I went ahead and added the town information. MBisanz talk 12:52, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks great! I support. Reywas92Talk 17:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, there are an awful lot of references on the page. Do so many all need to be linked to Collegeboard, College Navigator, and the Carnegie Institution lookup? What do others think? Reywas92Talk 02:41, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- reference column doesn't need to be sortable

- Fixed reference column.
- Fixed ref 124. MBisanz talk 11:45, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comments Support –
In the third paragraph, "despite the fact that" is not the best structure possible. "although" or "even though" are both less wordy.Comma after "The largest institution is the University of Buffalo"?First sentence of the fifth para needs a couple more "the"s before associations.Giants2008 (17-14) 23:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed all three. MBisanz talk 03:50, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Change ref titles that are allcaps to title case, even if they were like that in the original (refs 3 and 124).Dabomb87 (talk) 20:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
