The community college district is, as far as I can tell, completely independent from SFUSD. I don't know why that statement was included in the initial version of the article. (My latest edit has fixed it.) -- Beland 03:04, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

CCSF Student Activities Organizations and Clubs updated as indicated by the Associated Students Council. -- rasax 15 November 2005.

Editing and formatting changes made. Campus Information updated with source citations. The mention for clean up was left remaining until incomplete areas are updated, indicated with the *Under Construction...* notation. I'll try to follow up more soon and hope the changes meet most viewer's satisfaction. -- rasax ~21:20, 16 November 2005

Additional formatting, links, and updates added. -- rasax ~ 04:10, 17 November 2005


I added an infobox and cleaned up the "Acedemic leadership" section. A lot of the information in the later sections looks superfluous (e.g., the college's budget and the lists of presidents and chancellors). 22:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Nice job, Matthew. You're right about the additional sections. They were started as a base to build from when I was collecting basic info about the college. Most of it wasn't intended to be more than a mention of CCSF's academic history and successes. Time has been limited on my end and I was hoping what was there would inspire other editors to contribute to it. And, kudos to the individual who added the pictures and logo. I was about to head over and take some of my own shots if we couldn't get some. Cheers! Rasax 20:48, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too many subheadings

I think that there are too many subheadings, which makes this article choppy. Is it possible to integrate the various subtopics? I think that there should be no less than 6 lines of text under each bold heading. And is it possible to combine various topics? For example, the last subheading "Of special note" is unnecessary because it contains only a single sentence; I think this sentence about Diego Rivera's mural should be placed in the end of the introductory paragraph, as this information fits in with what City College features, like panoramic views and such.

Should I go ahead and make these changes?

[edit] Picture

I'd like to add a picture soon of the Benjamin Bufano statue out in front. There is a almost indentical statue out at Mondavi wineries.

Check out the picture on the Mondavi wiki

The proper spelling is Beniamino Bufano. If you are going to post a picture, make sure it is a non copyrighted picture. Do you have a wikipedia account? I notice that you do not sign your posts on the Mondavi discussion page.Christopher Tanner, CCC 07:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)tanner-christopher

[edit] Slight updates made

Added additional campus locations (Fort Mason, Adult Learning & Tutorial Center)and CCSF official links.

[edit] Change to the GLBT section

I've removed the rather cumbersome acronym of LGBTTQQIWTFBBQ or whatever it was and just replaced it with Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender. That acronym is so obscure and burdensome someone felt the need to define it in the subheading. In my opinion, if an acronym is that obscure that 1). it requires in-line numeration and 2). does not have a wikipedia article it should not be used. I understand and appreciate the sentiment to include every conceivable sexual preference/orientation/fetish/practice outside of vanilla heterosexuality but if it's destroying the readability of the article it must be excised.

[edit] Article Formatting

This article looks like it has outdated data/figures in addition to no proper inline citation. The reference section is more of a external links jumble. I'll see if I can work on it when I get a chance. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 23:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
