[edit]

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. Tessaract2Hi! 20:49, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
