Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering edit

Call me crazy, but I think it's almost time for FAC with this little article. I think I've pretty much exhausted all of the available sources, so I don't think there's much I can do to make it longer, unless people want me to add insignificant details about professors or individual labs. What do you think? --Spangineer^[es] (háblame) 22:08, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're completely crazy ;). Well, as the article is a bit on the short side, I only have a couple of minor comments to make (which should take less than a minute to fix):
After a year, for consistency, a comma should either be used throughout the entire article or not used at all. (I believe the only example would be who in 2005 served)

Per WP:MOSNUM, please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.
If possible though, please see if it can be expanded any more.

- Thanks for the comments. However, re the commas, do you want that sentence to read, "who, in 2005, served"? Seems like overkill to me. --Spangineer^[es] (háblame) 13:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it could be rephrased to be "In 2005, the 25 faculty members of the department served a total of 127 graduate and 345 undergraduate students", but really I don't think it is too big of a deal. I also just noted that WP:WIAFA 3(c) calls for a "a substantial" ToC - I don't know if there is a strict definition for how long a ToC should be, but this one is a bit on the short side.

I don't think there's a "strict" definition, but I expect that people will understand that short articles require short TOCs. That said, this will certainly be one of the shortest articles put up as an FAC in recent times. Things might get dicey, if history is any guide. However, I did some poking around on the website, and found some more stuff that might be worth including about the students—the department's study abroad programs, and the student organizations that exist. Hopefully I'll be able to get a two paragraph section out of that... --Spangineer^[es] (háblame) 12:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, I found a shorter FA, and recent too: Hurricane Irene (2005). Maybe I do have a shot, but then again, some might consider this "schoolcruft"... --Spangineer^[es] (háblame) 12:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
