Coat of Arms and Dark Mode

The school's coat of arms in the header doesn't display when using the new dark mode that's in beta. Maybe a graphic that isn't transparent should be used. 2603:301F:1B5D:2900:145A:168:9905:1CCE (talk) 20:38, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"producer" of Fulbright scholars

This is a really unfortunate expression found in lots of higher ed articles, and "production" comes up here, too. Does anyone have a suggestion for expressing this idea in a more appropriate way? Schools don't produce much of anything, although they do cultivate, encourage, and lead. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 16:17, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This language is widespread so I recommend opening a discussion at WT:UNI. For what it's worth, I leave this specific language alone in articles only because it's widespread in the cited sources. I do remove it in many other instances as I agree that it's POV. ElKevbo (talk) 22:06, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thanks. I'll open a discussion there. Pls join in! -- Melchior2006 (talk) 14:22, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
