- Jannik Schwaß EsreverI'm confused about what is wrong here. This is simply an attempt to update the factual information that was already on the page. It's not a promotion. These are just facts about the College of Arts and Science. Could you help me understand why they can't be updated? Thank you!CASComms (talk) 14:11, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
