The intro paragraph sounds like a promotional brochure from the school. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.110.156.95 ( talk) 20:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
The article looks like an advetrisement for UCI. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.218.50.50 ( talk) 14:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree with the assessment that this looked like it was copied verbatim from a UCI or Merage School brochure. I'm working on writing this from an encyclopedic, NPOV. Please bear with me. KuyaBriBri Talk 18:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

INTRODUCTION SECTION Information to be added or removed: The school has a few new programs that could be added to the list. My suggestion is to add in: Master of Finance, Master of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Master of Professional Accountancy, Master of Science in Business Analytics, and BA in Business Information Management. Explanation of issue: The list is currently out of date. References supporting change: You can see the full list of programs on the Merage School home page: https://merage.uci.edu/ CALLOUT BOX Information to be added or removed: The callout box on the right can be updated. The current (old) data is from 2012. New data from 2017-18 is available. AACSB (the accrediting body for business schools) has new numbers about the Merage School that can be used to fill in this box. Explanation of issue: The list is currently five years out of date.

Citation style
|
---|
In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Paul Merage School of Business article. Using this style, the WikiFormatted text would resemble the following:
In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, larger edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review. |
Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo 06:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
