Naming and Consistency Wiki Community Report

Hello All,

For the sake of clarity and consistency I wanted to start this feed so that we could all agree on the naming conventions for the Wiki Community Report.

For Example:

The naming of buildings on campus such as:

Arts

Commons

RHS (Reichwald) medical building

Engineering building

Administration building

Sunshine Cafeteria

Library

Science building

Creative and Critical Studies (Nursing) building

UNC building

Gymnasium (Hanger)

Fipke building

Please comment down below suggestions or other naming conventions for this and other topics to maintain consistency I just wanted to start a conversation :)

Hello! I will copy and paste here what I wrote in our group on Canvas so that it's all in the same spot:

Hello team!

I hope you are all healthy and well.

My suggestions are:

- Difference in waste disposal facilities (size of bins, types of bins, etc.) and their signage in different buildings/locations

- Amount/types of community members in different buildings/locations and how this affects usage of waste disposal facilities

Feel free to edit these topics if you think they could be more refined.:)

Dear all, I just joined your group, just checking how this works and saying hi :)

I already posted this reply on the Canvas discussion, but I figured that I would add it here as well to cover all my bases. :)

My suggestion is that the names of the buildings be written in their full form in the Introduction, and then they are followed by their shorthand in brackets. That way the reader will know what the abbreviations stand for, and it sets it up properly for the rest of the sections to just use the shorthand.

So, for example, in the introduction they can write "Creative and Critical Studies (CCS)", "Engineering, Management, and Education (EME)", or "Arts and Science (ASC)". I think it would be best to shorten the names of the buildings as much as possible, as long as these shorthand versions are noted in the introduction when the buildings are first mentioned.

Great suggestion.

Hey team, I've started a google doc for us. Please check out our discussion tab on Canvas when you have a chance. Thanks :)

Nyshaya: Data analysis - make graph/table/pie chart comparing types of waste in different buildings, write methodology, do first proofread of final work

Hello Nyshaya,

just responding to your message Lindsay recommended that we do not use google docs and communicate via WIKI and Canvas. I hope you had a change to take a look at the Spatial Comparison feed.
