can't alot more be said than this?

You know what this page could use? An infobox :o) See if {{Infobox University}} is appropriate... tiZom(the man) 22:18, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Contents

[edit] split?

This really looks like it could easily be four or five seperate articles. Anyone want to split it? j-beda 05:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Suggest keep as one article. They seem to think they're one organization. (I checked to see if the public radio was really part of this and the external link seems say it is). RJFJR 16:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] notable alumni?

maybe some words about who they are: ie "broadcaster", "rock star", etc. would be appropriatae? particularly for those without links or those (such as mike wallace) that just link to disambiguation pages. j-beda 03:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to suggest we limit notable alumni to ones that are notable enough to have an article of their own. I've been bold and removed the redlinks from this section. I've also added a comment requesting blue links only. e need to decide how much beyond a link to the article is needed here without making it crowded. RJFJR 16:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I also removed the section cleanup tag from this section though I'll understand if people want to restore it. RJFJR 16:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Who removed Christie Hefner from the alum list? She was an NMC camper in the early 70s - and is certainly a notable alumni. I've re-added her. gerbera

[edit] Not notable enough

I removed Meggie Cramer because it does not appear she is notable enough yet. Please see this link [1]. S.dedalus 07:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I removed Andrew Schwab, because I'm pretty sure that name refers to a current student there (especially judging by the fact that the external link/citation from that name went to the "Boobah" site, and not an actual biographical site) and not the Andrew "Macabre" Schwab of Project 86. I've never seen the Project 86 Schwab referenced in any of Interlochen's alumni publications, whereas a current senior at Interlochen is named Andrew Schwab. So, later, gator!

[edit] No source

I removed the new content about the Interlochen Pathfinder School re-opening under a new name due to the lack of cite. Keltomj 14:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boosterism

'The world’s premier summer arts program'? I think that's a slogan of theirs. Fine to call it a slogan, but "...and many consider it the 'world’s premier summer arts program'." is unsourced boosterism. I could be wrong... please add a source for this or I'll delete it. Deleted "home of art" from "type of institution" in the infobox for obvious reasons.24.231.238.102 03:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trying to promote themselves?

"Interlochen's uniform blurs class distinctions, frees members of the Camp community from the distraction of picking out clothes each day, and fosters an environment where individuals express and distinguish themselves through their art form and not their appearance."

How unlike an encyclopaedia is that line? A good deal of this article appears to be written by someone affiliated with the center who wishes to promote it non-end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.139.140 (talk) 16:06, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Interlochen center for the arts.gif

Image:Interlochen center for the arts.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.
