Name change proposal

I'd like to discuss changing the article name to simply

I like simple names. Okay to have redirects for (maybe) "Angelicum" (assuming that is unique?Student7 (talk) 23:03, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose that I do, too, but I'm mainly focused on things like Wikipedia's

I say do it. I notice there hasn't been any change since this discussion a year ago, so if no one pipes in to the contrary in a few days, I will effect the change to Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas personally. — AlekJDS talk 04:41, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'm moving the article. — AlekJDS talk 05:58, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notable alumni and faculty

The section about notable faculty and alumni is a bit too long, and it takes the form of a list. Each of those paragraphs should probably be moved to the article of the persons they describe. (For the ones without articles, the paragraphs would make excellent stub-starters.) Remember that this is an article about the Angelicum, not an honor roll of all of its notable figures. Please read the

Manual of Style at WP:Universities, which describes the ideal "notable people section" as follows: This section is not for a list of famous alumni, but rather a description of notable academic staff and alumni presented in paragraph form. Summarize the number of affiliates and alumni who have won major scholarships (Rhodes, Fulbright, etc.), major awards (Nobel, Oscar, Pulitzer, etc.), served as heads of government or other major political office, or otherwise held elite or notable distinctions (astronauts, professional athletes, CEOs, etc.). Individuals who do not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline should not be included. I will take action to improve this article along these guidelines after a suitable period of time has passed for discussion. — AJDS talk 21:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply

Agree. More than that, the article is cluttered with who attended, thereby making the university famous. It should be about the university itself. Okay to have a list of graduates with one short line describing him.Student7 (talk) 23:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since the above posting, I've taken a second look at the article & noticed in the History section, the following sentence & wikilink is repeated a number of times with the (xxxx) school's name changed.
For others who attended the (xxxxxxx) see the List of people associated with the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas.
One way of shortening the article is to place a single sentence at the History section start, such as the following, and remove the duplicates.

For people who attended or were associated with the school during it's history, see the List of people associated with the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas.

In addition, the wikilink for Santa Sabina is repeated numerous times, so I will remove most wikilinks, leaving the first one in each section. If there are any additional ways to shorten the article, more editors are welcome to improve. JoeHebda (talk) 15:28, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

References

I noticed a number of references are the url to a Google Book link. I though editors might be interested in a tool which takes a link as input and creates a (usually) properly formatted ref.

Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books

I used it to improve one such reference.

It really helps creates a much cleaner list of references. I hope you will try it.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:04, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
