[edit] Humans vs Zombies

Isn't this the place the game "Humans vs Zombies" originated? Doesn't that deserve a sentence under "Extracurriculars"? 147.226.215.218 21:44, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal

Removed reference to G. as "highly selective," as http://www.goucher.edu/x149.xml indicates roughly 2/3 of applicants admitted.

[edit] Needs Citation

Under notable alumni, "Josh Grant" is listed as a "badass." Wikipedia and google provide no verification that this person is an actual notable figure, I suspect that a college kid may have found it amusing. Anyone capable of disputing? -- Futility 13:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

It's a bunch of rubbish. A vandal from the Virginia Commonwealth University keeps trying to insert it. The whois entry for that IP has a network admin that can be contacted if the problem persists. OhNoitsJamieTalk 21:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I know Josh Grant. He is a badass. He's just someone who went there. I suspect one of his friends threw it up there. I smirked when I saw it.--Loodog 03:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


bill nye didnt graduate from goucher or go there he might be an honorable alumnus though

Well he's specifically notes as "honorary doctorate", so it's already clear what's going on here, no? The degree is presumably from when he spoke at 1999 commencement. DMacks 03:22, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Is it "Gow-cher"? If someone knows, it would be nice to include that in the intro. Miss Dark 02:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

-It is. - unregistered Goucher student

[edit] Deer

The news article used as a source for this is incorrect - the deer population has been reduced to 50, not by 50. Edited to match.

I've reverted your edit. It has to stay with what the source says until you have a source saying differently.--Loodog (talk) 15:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
The Sun news article is also consistent with the college president's own statement on the matter as posted on the college's own website.[1] I wouldn't be surprised if news outlets got their info from the website or some other release of this same statement (and could therefore propagate a wrong word), but Wikipedia would still need a reliable source with some other wording if the article were to be changed to contradict all existing (that I've seen) reports.
