[edit] Penn

It good to see that the article is finally getting a work over. Over the past several months before the end of the year, the article was starting to look like a broch from the admins department, rather then an article about the university. As for the status argument, their is no use talking to this guy, he has hit several articles University of Chigago, Yale, Princeton among them with the same mo, and basically the same edit summary, he has the tendancy to remove information on rankings, and admins. So just a heads up. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Preeminent echelon

I completely agree that once you say a university is in the Ivy League you don't need to say more. Anyone who isn't sure can always read the Ivy League article.

But that "preeminent echelon" phrase... where have I seen that recently... yes, this revision of University of Chicago, which says "The Graduate School of Business is part of the preeminent echelon of graduate management institutions world-wide." Very odd. I'm beginning to think that someone is deliberately inserting boosterism and peacockery in university articles just to annoy people. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:56, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Greaaaaaaat. So we have some people stuffing articles with boosteristic (?) fluff, and others deleting everything in sight on the off chance that it might be boosterism. Sometimes I feel like all I do is revert the crap that other people do. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." That should really be the official wikipedia motto.  :) -Bindingtheory 03:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
purely in the interest of tracking the user, the u chicago "preeminent echelon" text looks like it was originally inserted by 70.174.191.106. In the UPenn article it was 68.162.74.130. -Bindingtheory 03:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George W. Bush's Sixth State of the Union Address

Thank you for fixing the grammatical error I had on George W. Bush's Sixth State of the Union Address. Any work on this is very appreciated as few editors seem to have taken notice of it. The entire text of his speech is available at User:KI/Temp2. Thanks! KI 02:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

np. a couple of the "errors" i fixed weren't ungrammatical so much as they were in the wrong tense since they were written before the speech. I just created a page on Wikisource with the text of the speech, too, "as prepared for delivery" and linked it from the wikipedia page. -Bindingtheory 02:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 51 minutes

Hahaha-I take it you're also watching FOX? KI 03:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

PBS actually. I like their commentators. -Bindingtheory 03:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] PerfectTwinks Blog

Hey, keep up your perfect twinks blog. (http://perfecttwinks.blogspot.com/) It is much appreciated.

[edit] Violent Crime... wikilinks

Just a note that wikipedia automatically converts spaces in wikilinks to underscores. That means you can use the normal page titles directly ([[Violent crime and suicide at Ivy League universities]]) instead of having to give an underscored form for the link and an alternative one with spaces for display ([[Violent_crime_and_suicide_at_Ivy_League_universities|Violent crime and suicide at Ivy League universities]]). DMacks 16:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi DMacks. That's really good to know. Has it always done that? I always thought I had to include the underscores, which is kind of a pain the butt. Thanks! -Bindingtheory 21:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I've never known it not to do it, but I've been here less than a year. DMacks 21:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daily Pennsylvanian

Hi Bindingtheory--I'm a reporter from Penn's student newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian, and I'm working on a story about the school's wikipedia page. Since I know you're a frequent contributor to its upkeep, i was wondering if it would be possible for me to ask you a few questions. Please get back to me. Thanks, Jason

[edit] Heroes "Graphic Novels"

I added some definitions and sources on why the Heroes comics can not be legitimately called graphic novels. As the person who started that discussion, I thought you would like to know. Link for easy reference: Graphic Novels? Valaqil 17:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Much appreciated! Thanks for letting me know! -Bindingtheory 22:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
