== POV in Atmosphere at Brown University == (Copied from the Brown University Talk page) [...]I think you (and Tom) have done an ''excellent'' job is addressing my questions, and an excellent job with the Brown article in general. The article is, I think, much stronger for your efforts. And thank you for having the intellectual honesty (and patience) to address each of my complaints individually -- that's truly rigorous work, and reflects well on you. orthogonal 17:32, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC) ==Etc.== Thanks for adding the template for Land-grant_universities to the Rutgers_University article. Just an aside, I like your username, though I am of the opposite imperative, ''memento mori.'' —ExplorerCDT 18:35, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC) * My bad, I just noticed you didn't add that one. —ExplorerCDT 20:13, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Article Licensing == Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative_Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the Public_domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows '''other projects''', such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information: *Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Multi-Licensing Guide *Free the Rambot Articles Project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: :'''Option 1''' :I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: :{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} '''OR''' :'''Option 2''' :I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S._state, county, or city article as described below: :{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}'''" with "'''{{MultiLicensePD}}'''". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''talk page'''. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) ==Colonial Colleges== Thanks for stepping in and keeping an eye on the Colonial_Colleges article. I saw the edits earlier today and was wondering what to do with them, and am relieved that someone responded with the sensibilities similar to mine. I clarified the distinction you added about the seven additional schools by adding in "trace their roots" which might be a little POV, but hey, what the hell. Excellent idea to add the Charter Years as a separate column. Kudos! —ExplorerCDT 06:09, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Ivy League== I resurrected the link to the Seven Sisters article, chiefly because they are a prestigious group of colleges, and have long standing historical connections to Ivy League institutions. I don't think it is appropriate to discuss the Seven Sisters in an article about the Ivy League, just like I disagree with the Ivy Plus bullshit that has become a bone of contention in recent months, hence why the "See Also" is there in the first place. —ExplorerCDT 21:17, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC) :I am satisfied that my edit prompted Rbellin to add a paragraph about the connection with the Seven_Sisters. From the talk page, you can see that there already was discussion about the inclusion of the Sisters in the See also section. After the Sisters were placed back in the See also, DropDeadGorgias had requested in Jun 10, 2004 that the connection be included in the article, but until now that hadn't happened. I felt that this was important because many, including myself, were puzzled by the inclusion of the Sisters in the list. — MementoVivere 23:53, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC) :* That's acceptable. —ExplorerCDT 05:25, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC) == List_of_Brown_University_people == Some of the people on that list are now (I think) Professors of Literary Arts. I can't find any confirmation of this, though, they're just listed on the department web site. Seems to me like Coover, Creeley, Vogel, Wideman, and Wright are now under the LA department rather than the English dept. Do you know where we could get confirmation of this? I don't want to change them without confirmation because of the professors that hold sponsored chairs. It would be nice to distiniguish current faculty from past faculty in some way, as well. The best way is adding the years they served at the university, but finding that information may be difficult. – flamurai (t) 22:09, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC) :Since the Literary Arts Program seems to have separated itself from the English Department and become its own department, it would appear to make sense to change the titles of professors who are listed on the Literary Arts website from English to Literary Arts. However, when I did a Brown University Directory Search on these professors, their titles were all listed as Professor of English. Therefore, I believe that this should be their title in the article. However, for Aidoo and Wideman, I kept "Creative Writing" as their other department, in accordance with the directory on the Africana Studies website. I changed "Creative Writing" to "Literary Arts". :I agree that it would be best if we could include each professor's years of tenure. But seeing as how that information would not be easy to come by, perhaps we should just note whether or not a particular professor is still affiliated with the University. —MementoVivere 12:39, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Samantha Smith== In fact, italicized part of that sentence was a quote, although I believe it did not seem like it :-) Download this http://amelia.db.erau.edu/reports/ntsb/aar/AAR86-06.pdf .pdf file of the official report (4.5 M) and look on its page 16 (20th "pdf page") at the lead sentence of the section 1.15 - "Survival Aspects" to ensure. Although, I think, the way you altered the sentence didn't change much the essense and may be left as it is now. Cmapm 09:28, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) :I changed the sentence back to the way it was when you added it, except using doublequotes instead of the italicizing double-singlequotes. I still left out the comment from the middle of the sentence as it was confusing. The quoted sentence is exactly as it is in the report, including the misspelling of "altitude" as "attitude" (originally, I thought that you were the one who had made the typo), albeit with a "[sic]" note. –MementoVivere 10:36, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) ::Thanks for reverting. I can say, you weren't the first, who was confused by that word :-) Thanks for adding that note for future confused people. I removed that external link from the article, because the report is already referenced, namely - through a link in "External links" section "Air Crash - description '''with a link to official report'''". Also, some people don't like ext. links to be included into the article, see FAC discussion, User:Shauri's note in particular. Thanks for your attention to the article. Cmapm 12:34, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==VFD== Just letting you know that I've listed HYPSM on Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/HYPSM. —Lowellian (talk) 02:48, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC) ==VFD== Just letting you know about Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/HYP_(universities)_2. If you have an opinion, please vote. I am notifying people who have been active on either side of the debate. —Lowellian (talk) 23:50, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC) == Places Visited == I like your places visited box on your user page: I've nicked it for mine if you don't mind. -- Francs2000 | Talk Image:Uk_flag_large.png 02:35, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
