Semi-protected edit request on 29 November 2023[edit]

Change the picture of the coat of arms - logo of the university to match the institution's visual identity guidelines.

 Not done for now: The website you cited says that the symbol is loosely regulated, and I am concerned that uploading the depiction of the official version as stated there would be a copyright violation. To request an upload of an image, use Wikipedia:Files for upload. If the image is already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia, place the URL here and reopen the request.

Note about media caption under subheading 1.1 "18th Century" (Columbia University ➔ 1. History ➔ 1.1 18th Century)[edit]

In the caption for the last image within this subsection, "The 1797 Taylor Map of New York City...", there is an minor inconsistency between the image and the caption (if one would consider it an inconsistency). The caption specifically states that the map is "showing 'The College' at its Park Place (then Robinson Street) location".

As the caption uses quotes around "The College", I am assuming that it is treating the phrase as an excerpt from the image, and is supposed to match with text in the image. However, in the image of the map, Columbia University is actually denoted by "The Colledge". Wondering if this is important enough to copyedit?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It's important to maintain accuracy and consistency in Wikipedia captions. In this case, the difference between "The College" in the caption and "The Colledge" in the image may indeed be considered a minor inconsistency. To ensure accuracy, it would be a good idea to update the caption to match the exact wording used in the image, which is "The Colledge."
Making this adjustment will help ensure that the caption accurately reflects the content of the image, and it aligns with Wikipedia's standards for precision and consistency. If you believe this edit is warranted, please go ahead and make the change. If you have any further questions or need assistance with the editing process, feel free to ask. 207.96.13.213 (talk) 18:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
