[edit] MSIE madness

I got the pictures to look correct in Microsoft Internet explorer. It would seem that putting it in a div with CSS commands for it to float on the right was not honored by IE (or, at least, IE5, which is what I'm testing it on). However, putting the images in a table makes it so IE decides to float the images on the right. Go figure. Samboy 06:07, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] What do you think of Fresno

Ok so let me know what you think of Fresno!

Anonymous:

Pros: The classes are easy. Housing costs are low (apartments around campus are around $400-$800 a month in 2004; a single room is about $300 a month walking distance from campus).

Cons: Fresno has both the disadvantages of a small town (hard to find things to do) and of a large city (Pollution, crime, etc.) Most people in the university are in their early 20s and it's pretty much expected that one is married by the time they are 25 in this town; there is very little in this town for anyone above 25 who is single. Very few re-entry students. Anyone and everyone who can leaves this town come winter or summer break.

Fresno is in one of the most conservative areas of California; one local gym shows FOX news on their TVs instead of CNN, for example. This is a pro or con, depending on your point of view.

I find it ironic that my tiny little open source project's Wiki entry is currently almost as big as the entry as the college I am currently going to.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CSU.PNG

Image:CSU.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formerly Fresno State College?

Was this university formerly called Fresno State College? If so, this should be added to the article. Badagnani (talk) 05:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Split out alumni lists

I'm not sure who, or when, but someone suggested splitting out the list of alumni and former atheletes into a seperate List of California State University, Frenso alumni article. Let me say, with the huge size of the lists, that this is a good idea. Gentgeen (talk) 15:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
