Welcome![edit]

Hello, Ivanruss, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I am also writing to thank you for your interest in editing The University of Texas at Austin; however, please try to group your edits into a few edits only (you have over 100 separate edits, some which are only a couple minutes apart). Grouping your edits (ideally into a single edit) will aid other editors in reviewing your edits and in reaching consensus—if you don't offer editors the opportunity, your edits can simply be reverted and you ultimately blocked. If you are afraid another editor might make edits while you are making a larger edit (and thus creating an edit conflict), you might consider using Wikipedia:Template messages/Maintenance tags to avoid any such conflicts. Anyway, just wanted to give you a friendly WP etiquette nudge on how to ensure collaboration. Best wishes --Eustress (talk) 02:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice[edit]

Thanks so much for your warm welcome. I apologize for making numerous edits. I agree that it makes much more sense to make many edits at once, rather than making many over a period of time. I think if you look at the the edits I made to The University of Texas at Austin article, however, you'll agree that they're an improvement over what was there. For example, I think the table of rankings the university has received makes it easier for readers to digest the information. Also, the university's campus is quite beautiful. However, I noticed that some of the campus's more noteworthy buildings (e.g. Battle Hall, Littlefield House, Texas Memorial Museum, etc.) were absent from the page. I decided the take some images from Wikimedia and include them in the page. Also, I added a few images from Wikimedia of football games and the band, while deleting an image of a rather rotund gentleman holding a homemade Rose Bowl flag (I just did not feel like that image was flattering to the university). I added an image of Laura Bush and Lady Bird Johnson to the main body article, as I believe they are two of the university's highest profile graduates from the 20th century. Finally, I added a small section about The Graduate School at the university, as almost no mention was made of the school and its student body represents a significant portion of the university's overall population. Other than that, any other changes I made had to do with updating outdated information (e.g. the university's current endowment) or fixing typos I made during my own editing. Please feel free to look over the change/editions I made and let me know what you think. Like I said, I try to be savvier next time I make changes to an article. 70.125.142.2 (talk) 22:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC) (aka User:Ivanruss)[reply]

I've made some changes, which you can see in the article's history. The following are some other notes:

I removed the pics you added of Bush and Johnson b/c pictures of them are already shown in the Alumni section--a section which is to be overhauled (I'm working on something) soon.
The department-specific rankings list you added to the article needs references and the name of the ranking body
I split out some information from the article that merits only a glancing comment on this article and needed their own articles--if you would like to help with the newly created articles (University of Texas at Austin Graduate Studies and List of University of Texas at Austin buildings) that would be appreciated
For consistency, please use "UT Austin" throughout the article when naming the school
Please include an WP:edit summary with every edit.

Five Guys[edit]

As pointed out already at both user talk:Barek#Five Guys' music and in the warnings at User talk:95.150.189.151, the use of tripadvisor reviews and of personal blog reviews do no meet the threshold of being third-party reliable sources. I will be starting a thread on the article talk page for further community discussion. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
