Stop getting rid of information and leaving wiki pages messed up in these past 2 days you tried to destroy 2 pages while contributing zero. The College Board and buffalo's own site, are accurate, valid, current sources. Using an article written by the NY times and your own personal account do not outweight that! The College Board is the one who put together the list of flagship universities in the first place and it lists buffalo's as it for new york. Look at the definition of a flagship University, on Wikipedia even, it says it's determined by the state and college board. Which buffalo is. And when you try and get rid of information don't screw up a page try not to be so hostile. Whatwelearned (talk) 01:55, 13 November 2014 (UTC)§
SUNY has no official flagship. The claim presented for Buffalo on the wiki site that I sought to correct is based on cherry-picking. One reference is an error on a private business's site (collegeboard.org is in no way affiliated with organizations that administer and oversee college entrance exams) and an ambiguous statement in Buffalo's own domain (the site describes Buffalo as "A flagship institution," which is meaningless in that in the absence of an actual flagship any SUNY could make sure a claim). ~dak~ 15:51, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
You're kidding right, don't even apologize for screwing up the article? You made it unusable and messed up the formatting never do that again. It's own website which is run by suny gives it the flagship destignation as well as College Board, in no way is that an error you are just using opinion and emotion over fact and source.
