Talk:John M. Olin Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Organization

I don't think it makes sense to have the orgs, schools etc that olin gives to in alphabetical order. They should be ordered by the amount of money olin gives because that's what it considers to be the most important. I'm going to change the ording back in a few daysTitaniumDreads 20:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Just a small observation - the wiki says the foundation closed it's doors in the summer of 2005 but http://www.jmof.org/ says the fall.

The foundation is already closed, and it's not yet fall. Hence, "summer." FRCP11 14:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

When it closes officially and actually are different things all together. It stopped most official operations over the summer but won't be totally finished until the end of the year. TitaniumDreads 20:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

What's your source that Olin's still operating, Titanium? There was a lot of publicity when it officially closed its doors in May. Might be better to just say 2005; in the long run, the few months don't make a difference. FRCP11 03:31, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The olin foundatation fits into a category but I'm not sure which one. A little help here? TitaniumDreads 03:59, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Only $370 in funding disbursed?

Someone must have vandalized this part of the intro. Would add "million" as a guess to what should follow the figure but don't have a reference to confirm it. -69.85.180.135 19:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I added the 'million' as it's the only sensible amount the sentence could mean. I don't have a source though, so if someone could find one... --Chapuisat 17:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
