Removed the link for Peachtree Street because "West Peachtree Street" is an entirely separate street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.50.45.5 (talk) 12:46, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
copy editing flag
The "needs copyediting" flag at the top is what brought me to this article. I read over it, don't really see any glaring errors related to spelling, grammar, tone. Can another pair of eyes look over it? --Eatthecrow (talk) 19:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

- Not done. Per WP:NACADEMIC criterion 6 and the specific criteria notes that follow, appointees to academic administrative posts less than e.g. president or chancellor, such as dean, generally are not sufficient to qualify a person as notable for Wikipedia purposes. I did a quick Google news search and didn't see any other major news about Brown or obvious reason he would qualify as notable, so for now I'm not making the change. If you offer reliable sources showing Brown's notability, I think another edit request (or just responding to this one and removing the "|answered=yes" parameter from the edit request template) would be appropriate.

Update 2021 reported revenue
