[edit] Images of Famous Alumni

I added back the image of Cindy Nelson to the famous alumni. Since there's really only room for the 3 most notable alumni and Lunden is of questionable fame of yester-year, and Ms. Nelson currently has hits in the Top 40 nationally, this change makes more sense.

[edit] Bruce Burton

Famous Alumni -

Bruce Burton - Assistant Sports Editor, The Roseville Press-Tribune

- I'm thinking this is some sort of practical joke. I don't think Mr. Burton is worthy of Wikipedia fame just yet.

[edit] KAN

is the kappa iota nu reference really necessary? Just sounds like blatant self-promotion...

still trivia

so what? There are dozens of gay fraternities/sororities within this country, it's not like this group is particularly groundbreaking. Heck, they're not even the only one on campus. I'm fine with creating a section for all the Greek houses, but singling this group out is just taking advantage of Wikipedia.

[edit] EJO

Did Edaward James Olmos attend this school? His wikipeida entry makes no metnion of CSUS, and it seems like he mostly kicked around in the LA area

Hmmm, I searched around and found this press release from CSUS. I would imagine if he was alumni of the school, it would say so. http://www.csus.edu/news/041205olmos.stm —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jgladding (talk • contribs) 00:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC).

He went to CSULA. Ronbo76 00:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hornet Fight Song

This page could use the Hornet Fight Song added to it... anyone willing to dig it up and put it in the WikiQuote page?

[edit] The school's name

...is California State University, Sacramento, according the the school's own website. Please stop changing it to Sacramento State. Closenplay 10:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

The official name of the university is "California State University, Sacramento". However, as part of the Destination 2010 program, the university changed both it's seal to the new design, created a new logo (similar to the seal), and made official the names "Sacramento State" or, more tersely, "Sac State". Either "Sacramento State" or "CSU, Sacramento" are acceptable. I'll double-check the Identity Style Guide to see if "Sacramento State University" is acceptable. --DevinCook 05:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

As I understand it, the name change is a unilateral move by president Gonzalez that is facing a lot of opposition.63.197.134.209 17:49, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Technically, the name is still California State Unversity Sacramento. However the school more or less goes by the unofficial name "Sac State" or "Sacramento State", a nickname they refused to officially acknowlege for years. For all official documents and such (including Wikipedia), CSUS is still the school's name. For marketing purposes, it's Sacramento State. --Jgladding 17:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

If you look in the Style Guide, "CSU, Sacramento" is unacceptable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.174.7.191 (talk) 21:04, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

Why was the section about the Alma Mater and Marching Band deleted earlier today? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.174.7.191 (talk) 22:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SacState.jpg

Image:SacState.jpg 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.

[edit] Trivia section

What happened to the trivia section? Now we have a subsection for "famous visitors"? Come on... Jgladding —Preceding comment was added at 06:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Trivia sections are highly discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. I attempted to work all the information into the article in the proper locations. The notable guests listed in the trivia didn't fit anywhere else in the article. To keep the information, I created a simple section. Though it's a tad empty... it can be expanded... :-) Cheers. -DevinCook (talk) 07:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clubs & Orgs

The clubs & orgs section is getting out of hand... perhaps it is time to split off a new page and link to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgladding (talk • contribs) 19:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I simplified the list a bit recently. I agree that it might be a good idea to create a Clubs at California State University, Sacramento page. I would like to hear other opinions on the issue before I create a page. -DevinCook (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- It may be a good idea to do a page on all the aux organizations.--Jgladding (talk) 19:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  - Good point. Perhaps Organizations at California State University, Sacramento? -DevinCook (talk) 20:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
    - The page is not out of hand at all, There are 250 organizations all of them up here would be out of hand. Devin, please stop putting Clubs or Fraternities in the Auxilary Organization area. They are not, part of ASI, the Bookstore, or the University Union. They are a part of the campus whether you like it or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.86.148.43 (talk) 23:11, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
      - The Greeks should not receive preferential treatment any more than any other social or academic club. We will keep the club section separate from Campus Auxiliary Organizations. I renamed the section back to Clubs and Organizations. I will re-add the removed links. This content does deserve a second page. I will perform the move later tonight.-DevinCook (talk) 23:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  - I created a new article Clubs and Organizations at California State University, Sacramento. The new article needs details about non-greek clubs such as scholastic, advocacy, religious, political, etc... This page can also be enhanced with pictures of each of the different categories.-DevinCook (talk) 23:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
