Hi, I'm from the Netherlands and Forum for Democracy isn't a far right party at all, please look at their point of view on https://forumvoordemocratie.nl/standpunten Forum for Democracy is also member of the European ECR Party that isn't far right at all. I would consider partys like the AfD, Front National and for example the Brazilian president Bolsonaro as far-right. Why do you see them as a far-right party?

Hi there anon, I don't make any judgements. I did some checking on what are you on about, and see that I made a revert on page you mentioned. It was simply removed because it was unsourced content/opinion. Content with reputable sources will typically be accepted on Wikipedia pages. Also, please sign your messages with four tildes so I know who I am talking to. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 (talk) 20:47, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Anya chalotra. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Anya Chalotra. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Anya Chalotra. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Sophiajoanne 04:49, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Frood 06:19, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

You are welcome.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Raghunath Anant Mashelkar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FRS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I will once again ask how providing context for Duke being a top 10 university within the US is any different than being a top 20 university worldwide. That is not puffery, POV, nor COI. Either both go or both stay, in my opinion. We can discuss this further if you would like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.43.45 (talk) 23:01, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

This user (ElKevbo) is repeatedly vandalizing Duke's page. I'm not experienced enough to know how to get him to stop but I recently provided four citations from Forbes, US News, The Wall Street Journal, and Niche ranking Duke in the top 10 and he deleted my contribution without any explanation despite the fact that virtually every other school has similar rankings information in the lede. Can you please report him on my behalf?

Please stop telling me to report other users, especially @ElKevbo:, dude's a professional.. Also, stop academic boosterism and cherry picking sources . Sign your comments with fours tildes(~). GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 19:01, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

I added a templates on sub sections of this article.beacuse these sub sections do not have references, citations. They're written like a essay. Their is no way to verify information provided in sections - Production, Cast. Most of the statement lines are unreferenced.you can watch it yourself. Kundan Ravindra Dhayade (talk) 14:48, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Kundan Ravindra Dhayade, Thanks for letting me know. There are hundreds of thousands of articles with little to no references, and it may not be always worthwhile to keep adding unreferced or refimprove templates. For cast section, typically citations are not required. 10 citations for a movie are not bad, so I don't think that refimprove at the beginning is needed. I'll take a look. Thanks.

Kindly refrain from editing above mentioned page

May I know why? GreaterPonce665 (talk) 17:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi GreaterPonce665. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! bibliomaniac15 02:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

I had written that I had sourced my rationale for deletion of sections of the article on SHC014-COV. It looks like you saw those and reverted the article back to my edits. I appreciate it. The article was previously in clear violation of WP:Original Research. The news articles from RT, FoxNews and The Guardian never mentioned SHC014-COV, or that it could be the parental virus. And one of their sources explicitly discounts the possibility (ironically enough). Articles about coronaviruses need to be watched carefully, as people adding blurbs like the deleted one is becoming commonplace. ComradeScientist (talk) 03:38, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Dear User:ComradeScientist, thanks for being a thorough editor. I have background in chemistry but its materials chemistry, so I can't fairly judge the claims in posted articles. I appreciate you taking time to explain your edits. GreaterPonce665 (talk) 03:43, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi GreaterPonce665, there are literally no citations on the sections I removed on Cihanbeyli page.Ashurpedia (talk) 23:25, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Dear Ashurpedia, it would be preferable to add a source or may be remove ethnicity info if there's no source at all. I think there's some valuable data there, and most town pages are poorly cited anyways. I would love to keep the info there, but if you feel strongly about it, I'll not revert your work. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 (talk) 23:30, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

With regards to your problematic revert, see WP:BMB, which says that all edits of a blocked sock can be removed for the reason alone that it was made by a sockpuppet. Fact that you restored the problematic section shunned by WP:NOCRIT would make you responsible for any of the content that was being added there. "He was criticised for spreading fake news" is not even supported by the source. What criticism? Be careful with editing in these subjects given you have been notified of sanctions already above which are active in this area. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 13:11, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Aman.kumar.goel, I agree with your revert here; wasn't aware for WP:BMB policy. I still believe the content belongs there, albeit with a more neutral tone. About the notice part, hundreds of editors have it - you also have it on your talk page - so no need to insinuate anything here. GreaterPonce665 (talk) 13:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

I was only reminding because many editors ignore the sanctions. I don't see why the content should be added. Sure he made a comment which created a kind of reception but it does not represent his career or significantly affects his image. If every comment of these people have been analyzed on Wikipedia then the page would become too big in no time, contrary to WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 13:49, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Your recent edit to the article is much better than what I was expecting. Thanks for it. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 13:55, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear Jpgordon, thanks for letting me know. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 19:02, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Please familiarize yourself with other university pages. Forbes, US News, and the Wall Street Journal produce the most credible and widely read rankings in the US. There is nothing "cherry picked" about these sources. The line about Duke being a top 10 school deserves to be featured prominently in the lede. Particularly when other schools of similar caliber have all this fluff about being among "the most prestigious universities in the world" in their ledes. If you have a problem with it being in the lede, open it up to the community for resolution. Please don't edit the article without the input of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.74.237.226 (talk) 22:43, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi GreaterPonce665, could you please tell me why you made this revert as vandalism? [1]. It doesn't look that way to me; if it was a mistake could you put it back and remove the IP's talk page warning? Thanks. --IamNotU (talk) 01:34, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi @IamNotU:, I do not believe it was a mistake, that edit looked as if it were a plot for a movie or a fiction. While it was not necessary a case of vandalism, I was using Huggle and probably didn't select correct user message. Please see Template:Tone. Would you like me to change the message to something else? Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 02:12, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, sorry but I still don't understand. The edits look to me like a simple copy edit. They've fixed grammar, punctuation, wording, etc. No significant material was added or removed. There are maybe a couple of mistakes and some changes in wording that are a bit pointless, but overall it looks like an improvement. The IP has been copy-editing a lot of articles, again with some small problems and typos, but generally looks constructive and helpful. Maybe you could take another look? --IamNotU (talk) 12:01, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I still do not think that edit was a simple copy edit; there's no improvement in the article, mostly pointless edit. I feel that you are interested in editor retention here, so sure, I'll remove my message on ip talk page. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 13:07, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the vandalism warning. I'm still not sure exactly what's wrong with the edits though, and I'd like to know if there is a problem in general with this user's edits that should be looked at more carefully. I did have to fix some careless mistakes they made in a couple of other articles. If you have the time, could you explain what you mean by "looked as if it were a plot for a movie or a fiction", and why you think it was something other than copy editing? Thanks. --IamNotU (talk) 14:28, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

You are the expert, but you may want to consider that my addition to the Wikipedia bio that cited Dr. Brown's quote did cite my book "In the President's Secret Service." The Washington Post obit which the Wikipedia bio cites as a source considered the quote significant enough to include it, so an outside source--namely the Washington Post--did consider it important. In addition, since you asked why the quote is relevant, the Washington Post obit said, "In Washington, Dr. Brown became an authority on political psychiatry, focusing on individual leadership qualities, group dynamics, political strategy and tactics to achieve policy goals, especially when it came to the occupier of the White House." But I respectfully bow to your expertise and hope this additional info may be helpful! KesslerRonald (talk) 17:45, 25 May 2020 (UTC)Ronald Kessler — Preceding unsigned comment added by KesslerRonald (talk • contribs)

@KesslerRonald:Mr. Kessler , Thanks for the message. I appreciate you taking the time. I think the other sentence mentioned here - "In Washington, Dr. Brown became an authority on political psychiatry, focusing on individual leadership qualities, group dynamics, political strategy and tactics to achieve policy goals, especially when it came to the occupier of the White House." - is much better suited for addition to the article. Previously I was not sure it alone was worthy enough quote to be included in a start-class article (per WP:DUE). Personal perspective quote is definitely a plus, and with this new WaPo quote, I'm not opposed to its addition anymore. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 18:35, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, We have been seeing an increased number of vandalism on Devendra Fadnavis Wikipedia page. The recent edit was undone by you, for which we are really grateful. The page was put on partial protection which expired on the 18th of May. During the protection period the act of vandalism ceased but as soon as the protection period was over the vandalism restarted. You may go through the edit history to merit the given accusation.

We would be obliged if the page was placed on permanent protection to ensure that these acts of vandalism cease forever and only those who have been registered, verified, and active on Wikipedia, make suitable changes to the aforementioned page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FSCOPC (talk • contribs) 11:00, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm not an admin so I can't actually do what you ask of me. Also, I disagree on some of the points you make here. I don't think permanent protection is the way to go. Also, about restricting to editing to only registered users, it doesn't take more than a minute for IP to become a registered user; take your own case for example. I wouldn't recommend editor shopping. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 13:55, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I had reverted several unsourced edits on this article and added a citation, however you have reverted it. Could you please explain why? Ranadhira (talk) 14:26, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, IP edits introduced tons of red-links and unneeded honorifics so manual clearing would take forever, so I reverted it the last best version. Seems to me that your reverts didn't eliminate those. If you notice the diff, I didn't mean to revert your edits. I see you have fixed the numbers and added the ref back again, thank you for that.

In reference to my recent edit to Multicast DNS, you said: "you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary".

But my edit included a summary: "remove unsupported Android claim, as the link is about DNS-SD, not mDNS".

Can you explain why you consider this inadequate?

It's a link to a page describing a different technology than the Wikipedia article is about -- DNS-SD, rather than mDNS. I tried to find another webpage which supported the claim that Android supports mDNS, and I couldn't find a clear answer. Android seems to include some parts of an mDNS implementation, but it's not part of the standard DNS lookup mechanism.

In any event, the link provided did not in any way support the claim it was attached to. The page is dead today, but I looked it up on archive.org (2017, when the article says it was retrieved), and the page doesn't contain the word "multicast" or "mDNS" at all.

Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.109.4.101 (talk) 02:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Can you refrain from abusing templates like you did here? It is surprising that you don't understand what constitutes WP:OR despite editing for this long.

Please be courteous and assume good faith; don't go around saying you are "surprised" about their editing or claim people don't understand something. Is it not abuse if I had legitimate concern about you removing sourced information. On a closer look, I feel that you were right about WP:OR.

Hello, GreaterPonce665,

Not all drafts are eligible to be tagged CSD G13. Please look over Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G13 and review criteria before you do any more tagging. It can be best to stick to the Wikipedia:Database reports/Stale drafts list. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:21, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know @Liz:. Yes, I did post a notice on user's talk page (automated via Twinkle). The area where this draft exists, (I believe it's called userspace draft, not fully sure), is that undeletable? I'm not hellbent on deleting this particular page, but wonder what it a process for an abandoned, >6 month old draft like this, if not G13. I'm still a noobie & would love to know more. Could you please point to me somewhere other than Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G13?

Hello GreaterPonce665. While reviewing your request for the pending changes reviewer permission, I encountered the following reverts that you made using the rollback feature: [2][3]. Please be more careful when using rollback to revert edits. Generally, the rollback button should only be used to revert obvious vandalism, and the two edits that I mentioned above do not appear to be obvious vandalism. Use of rollback for purposes other than those listed at the rollback guideline is likely to be considered misuse and can result in removal of the permission, since rollback leaves a generic edit summary that may be discouraging to good-faith users or new editors who may not be familiar with Wikipedia's policies. Instead of rollback, I would use a different tool like the undo button or Twinkle, as that allows you to save a more descriptive edit summary. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 22:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

HI, saw your comment on Ramdev page. There were two major edits, and for both of them, citation is given Firstly, there was a wrong information, Karanveer is shown as Guru, which he is not, he is just a friend. I have added a news paper citation for the same. A friend, who later left. 2. If you are familiar with Ramdev, his close associate is Balkrisha and Pradummn, it is was important to mention where they met. that was the second edit.

Hi there, My previous rollback was for lack of reputable citations; that issue has not been cleared; please refrain from re-adding material without citing reputable 3rd party sources; Ramdev's own website is not a reliable source. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 17:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

The US ranking is new (The 2020 ranking is their first for the US.) Given QS's stature, I thought it appropriate to incorporate their US rankings.

Thank you for your time - and you help if you can provide some. Wrrsimone (talk) 18:51, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Wrrsimone:, I would advice you to try making your case on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Higher education. A discussion must take place for inclusion/updates to the rankings box. Hope this helps. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 18:58, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello GreaterPonce665,

I am adding citations for the content I have added to the concerned page. It took some time since the information is a bit old. Please rest assured that the information is from a reliable source.

You removed my citations (Those were hard to find!) and restored the version. I gave citations for every section but without even checking you reverted the templates saying that it wasn't constructive. When you don't even check citations before reverting is not "constructive". The personal life section was incomplete and vague. DO NOT RESTORE PREVIOUS VERSION. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VedikaThorat (talk • contribs) 11:43, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

This isn't their facebook to keep only positive content. Please stop spamming my talk page and take up any issues to the article talk page. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 15:24, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Dear GreaterPonce665,

Today I did ask this question in Live Chat for help. One of the member YellowDurian78 (Pseudo name I suppose) guided me.
YellowDurian78 asked my name & my reply was "Vishal Kamlesh Gohel is my name & the birth year is 1985 which is reflecting in my profile name". YellowDurian78 replied that you are not Vikram Gaikwad then. Write to GreaterPonce665 on his user page with signature.
If this was the roadblock for my profile to be addressed as WP:GNG then I assure that my name is Vishal Kamlesh Gohel.
Requesting to remove my name from Vikram Gaikwad page and undo the changes. I will improve my edits going forward. Thank you very much in advanced. VKG1985 (Talk | E-Mail | Contrib) 12:21, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Dear GreaterPonce665, please check the Vikram Gaikwad article as I have added 61 more references/citations (from 7 to 68). If that is fine, then I have also passed the WP:GNG which was the second question/update you have asked. Please remove my name from the page once everything seems to be fine with you and let me know once it is done. VKG1985 (Talk | E-Mail | Contrib) 13:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I can't remove anyones names from the page history if that's what you are asking me. I'm still puzzled by your keen interest in promoting this particular person. Why? Btw, almost all of these 'references' are either tangential or non-reputable. No WP:SIGCOV. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 13:39, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks GreaterPonce665 for responding to my message. Instead of Hi there, if you could address adding username it would be good. So that I can get a notification as well.

Now, let me again clarify the things again:

• I can't remove anyone's names from the page history if that's what you are asking me -> I know this & asking to remove my username from WP:PROD message.
• I'm still puzzled by your keen interest in promoting this particular person. Why? -> I don't have any keen interest in that page. The reason for adding more details was because of PROD message which says If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. I have already told you that Vikram Gaikwad is a make-up artist & there will be a lack of notable sources. Which is my mistake & I agree to it.
• Btw, almost all of these 'references' are either tangential or non-reputable. -> I was waiting for your response, meanwhile I was trying to get as many articles as I can. Every article has 1 liner regarding this artist & I know it is not sufficient. That's why was asking to REMOVE/UNDO my edits.

My concern is to remove my username from PROD message without any side effect (deleting a page is not the solution because it takes a good amount of time to construct it)

If you are satisfied with my clarifications, let us resolve this issue by guiding me the further process. -- VKG1985 (Talk | E-Mail | Contrib) 10:30, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

I did not make any changes to Dhananjay Munde article. I simply asked the editor why he removed a link. As it was a healthy discussion. You seem to have personal ties with this particular page because I didn't even write a single word and you sent me a warning. So now I think you don't appear rational in this process. I am reporting this as I think you are trying to discourage other people from editing on this page. You are establishing ownership and threatening people directly with warnings. Do not spam my talk page. I am reporting the concerned page to the administration board as it is having so many issues. Let them decide. I do not wish to engage in what seems like a coop. If you would have had asked me we could have had a healthy discussion. Mahesh Karve (talk) 09:53, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Mahesh

Hi @Mahesh Karve:, please take up your complains to article page and discuss there. I'm not interested in having healthy discussions on my talk-page with some random editor who doesn't want to understand why wikipedia takes BLP editing seriously. Also, I didn't threaten anyone; it's a simple vandalism warning, which was very appropriately assigned. Take it up to admin if you please. Thanks.

Hi GreaterPonce665! I've noticed you updating the endowments of a bunch of colleges. I was curious, how are you going about inputting the data into AWB? At some point, I'd love to get education data (including also things like student body sizes) added automatically to Wikidata and infoboxes updating regularly relying on it. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:29, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Sdkb:, I must confess, my use of AWB is pretty rudimentary and I have no programming skills. However for routine edits I find AWB much smoother to use over the web interface. AWB is not ideal when there are multiple sources for multiple pages. Here's a brief rundown of how I use it:

1) I downloaded the excel data sheet from NACUBO release page and wrote down the reference in a separate text file.

2) In excel, I copied over "uni name" and "2020 endowment" columns to a new sheet. On that new sheet, I made a third column to "modified uni name" (more on this later) and fourth column which concatenates $, endowment value, and the reference (from text file)

3) Instead of opening each uni page on web browser, AWB can help with opening them from a list. AWB can make list using categories, but there's no satisfactory cat. to use here, so I make my own list. The "modified uni name" column in excel looks something like # [[:La Salle University]] which can be made by concatenating text with "uni name" column. Once the modified list is populated, I copy it to a txt file (which can be loaded in AWB).

4) Set the edit summary and make other minor changes if needed. List of colleges is on left, and only thing that needs to change is the endowment. For each edit, copy over fourth column from excel and command+S.

I know, this might not be best summary, but hope it helps. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 20:17, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense, yeah. It still seems like a pretty manual way to do it, so I hope we find something better at some point. If we figure out how to import the Excel into Wikidata, we could just change the endowment line to ${{#expr: ({{Wd|property|raw|P6589}} / 10^9) round 3 }} billion ({{YEAR|{{Wd|qualifier|P6589|P585}}}}){{Wd|references|linked|P6589}} on every page and it'd draw from Wikidata. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

@Sdkb:, you are correct about edits being mostly manual. I've not used to wiki-data so can't help there, but that sure sounds interesting. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 23:12, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts to update endowment amounts. I have made similar updates for several years. The NACUBO report is a great source, but in the case of Lamar University, I think the reported amount understates Lamar's total endowment. Lamar University has two endowment funds. The smaller fund of around $26 million named "Lamar University" is included in the NACUBO report. The larger endowment fund totaling $104,596,587 as of August 31, 2020 is named "Lamar University Foundation" Note:See page 156 of the linked Board Materials for the December 7, 2020 Texas State University System Quarterly Board Meeting.Texas State University System December 7, 2020 meeting materials If you want to click through, the pdf source can be found on the Texas State University System website linked here: Texas State University System Board Meetings Calendar

The Lamar University Foundation fund is not included in the NACUBO report, but is included in the $128.5 million endowment total reported by US News and World Report. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/lamar-university-3581 Except for the past few years both endowment funds were included in the NACUBO report. I used the NACUBO number in years past to update endowment totals. That is actually my preferred source, but I discontinued using NACUBO for Lamar when I noticed both endowment funds were no longer included in the report. I hope after understanding the current inaccuracy, you will reconsider your February 21 edit and revert it back to the amount reported by US News and World Report.

I believe continuing to use the NACUBO reported amount presents an incomplete picture. I attempted to note the reason for using the US News and World Report number instead in my January 24, 2021 edit. Here's a quote of my edit notes. "Update endowment using US News and World Reports amount. Lamar has two endowments. The NACUBO report only includes the smaller endowment, Lamar University. The larger endowment is with the Lamar University Foundation. Excluding the foundation amount grossly understates the amount. USNews and World Report is a common source." I believe the correct amount should be reported. For Lamar, I don't think the correct amount is currently being reported if one relies solely on the NACUBO report until the NACUBO report once again includes both endowment funds for the university.

@LUSportsFan: Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail. Seems fair. I've reverted to previous version. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 00:38, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
