Original name of the University is not present.

The University was incorporated by Special Act of the Legislature pursuant to Chapter 176 of the Laws of 1831 under the corporate name "The University of the City of New York" on April 18, 1831.

It should be noted in the first paragraph under history. Stas.klos (talk) 23:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove this statement:

NYU has become the largest private university in the United States by enrollment, with a total of 51,848 enrolled students, including 26,733 undergraduate students and 25,115 graduate students in 2019.

and add this one in its place:

NYU has become one of the largest private universities in the United States by enrollment, with a total of 58,226 enrolled students in 2021.

Please also update the first source's access date to today, and remove the second source.

The article should rely on an outside source (the first one) for this information, not a source from the university itself. The first source shows some other private universities that are ahead of NYU: Western Governors (1 on the list), Southern New Hampshire (2), Grand Canyon (3), Liberty (4), and Phoenix (7) are larger than NYU (14). 123.51.107.94 (talk) 02:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add to the last sentence of the section "Notable alumni" The following:

"Another alumnus is Olympic fencing bronze medalist and 13-time national champion in saber Peter Westbrook.^[1] 184.153.21.19 (talk) 17:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: this is a generally good suggestion, but the Notable alumni section is focused on inventors and businessmen. It's already filled to the brim with blue links to people, so I don't think adding a sports focused paragraph would parse well, and adding the one line at the bottom would make it sound like only one notable sports player came from NYU. There is the page List of New York University alumni where Peter is already listed - I've added your source to that table at the very least. Tessaract2^Hi! 20:49, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
