Expansion

This page could be expanded easily by concentrating on the histories of individual departments, who while not warranting a page for themselves, could be collected here. A great online resource for history of the College and the departments is here.

Names

Both Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences and University of Pittsburgh Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences are being used post name change. I'm sure the former is the formal name, but the latter is also used commonly on the university's own websites. —Bill Price (nyb) 00:57, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to that School's style guide (found here), the "Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is the school’s full name and should be used on first reference in all communications. The shorter names Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences and Dietrich School can be used upon second reference."

So a question is whether moving this article to the shorter form, "Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences", would make sense since it would follow the naming conventions employed for the Swanson School of Engineering and CMU's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences articles according to WP:COMMONNAME. In any case, a redirect from the alternatives would be appropriate. Thoughts? CrazyPaco (talk) 04:37, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Notyourbroom,

I'm wondering whether the main Art & Science article should be "Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences", per their new website and new logo and style guide.

According to that style guide, "Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is the school’s full name and should be used on first reference in all communications. The shorter names Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences and Dietrich School can be used upon second reference."

Using the shorter forms would follow the Wikipedia article naming conventions employed for the Swanson School of Engineering and the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences according to WP:COMMONNAME. I'm not really concerned either way, as redirects from either to the other would be appropriate. But what are your thoughts on the primary article title? CrazyPaco (talk) 03:28, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You make good points. It seems like Pitt's inconsistent, though, because in practice, they're prefacing "Dietrich School of A&S" with "University of Pittsburgh". Following the precedent of other articles is a good idea, though. —Bill Price (nyb) 14:41, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I like how the CMU article handled theirs, but I'll let you do the move if you see fit. If you decide not to move it (which I don't think is that big of a deal), just let me know and I'll create a redirect to it page from "Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences" (or feel free to do that, but I do think a redirect from one to the other is warranted in any case).

Miscapitalized links

Many of the academic departments are miscapitalized links that redirect to pages, which is not ideal. As a mobile web editor I can't edit them en masse due to the table formatting but it would be great project for someone! Matuko (talk) 00:24, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
