Nice job!

[edit]

Great work creating this article. I have been trying to add some more sources. What would you think about adding a history section? It could describe the first library, which was on Quad; the next, much bigger library built in 1919[1] (I'm not clear if that was the library later named Green); even the proposed[2] and approved[3] but eventually dropped[4] establishment of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library at Stanford. --MelanieN (talk) 18:58, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be a great addition. Also note the empty fields in the infobox. Disavian (talk) 19:04, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So much history to find! This is fun!! --MelanieN (talk) 21:39, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

[edit]

What would you think about nominating this article for WP:DYK? Possible hooks:

I'd say go ahead and nominate it with those and let the reviewer pick or suggest another. I believe you have to review an article for DYK before you can nominate one, though. Or at least, it's recommended. Disavian (talk) 01:15, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not if I nominate it, I don't ;-D ...because you wrote the article. That requirement only applies to self-nominated articles. --MelanieN (talk) 02:07, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Clever girl. Disavian (talk) 02:29, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination

Article name needs to be changed to Stanford Libraries

[edit]

The Libraries rebranded a couple of years ago (I think it was in 2018 maybe...) and changed their official name from "Stanford University Libraries" to "Stanford Libraries" (see their website). They no longer officially use the "SUL" acronym either. I wasn't able to easily find a citation for this, and I could look harder, but I don't think we really need a citation for it unless we want to include information about the rebrand in the article. I think the name of the article should just be changed. I haven't done that before but I can look into it. I thought I'd start by posting here though.
