[edit] Pictures
Does anyone have pictures of the college green, quad, or any of the main buildings like Fanning, Olin or JA/Freeman to add to the page. The two pictures that are posted do not really give the viewer much of an idea of what the campus actually looks like.
[edit] Revert
I reverted an edit about the "now-famous Plaper-Hutcheson Minimalism War". I removed it for several reasons:
- It was red-linked, making "now-famous" a rather suspect description.
- I've never heard about such a war, and know a good deal about Connecticut College history.
- The edit was the first edit of the user who made it (which makes it more likely that it was a joke).
- I know of two recent Conn students whose last names are Plapper and Hutcheson, and suspect that this is a self-reference.
If anyone knows otherwise and thinks it should go back up, please say so here. -GlamdringCookies 16:45, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alums
What say we shorten the descriptions of each alum to a word or two or three? I'm thinking something like the lists on the date sites (e.g. April 22). -GlamdringCookies 02:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- About the recent adds to the notable alums - granted, they're all notable, but can anyone think of a way to perhaps condense Clap Your Hands Say Yeah ? -GlamdringCookies 02:10, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Ye gods, I feel like I'm talking to myself on this page...I'm skeptical about our list of alums. I feel like the descriptions are too long. The order has strayed from the chronology it at one point possessed (I'll fix that in a sec). Lists of people like this on Wikipedia that I've seen have very short descriptions, just a few words, that fit easily on a line. Wow, just looked back and I said that exactly ten months ago. Okay, I'll look into these things. If anyone has thoughts, please voice them. -GlamdringCookies 17:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Connecticut College Seal.GIF
Image:Connecticut College Seal.GIF 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
