[edit] Forget Independence

In a country so focused on individualism, the atmosphere at Kenyon could be a nice change for some students. 99% of the undergrads at Kenyon live on campus. Students there can plan on spending four years with familiar students in close quarters. Which for some is a positive thing...

“The lack of off-campus housing enhances the sense of community. I love living on campus.”

[edit] Academics

I would suggest adding more to the academics section. I'm quite impressed with Kenyon's courses and academics, but this section seems like it only highlights the English department. Thyroidpsychic 01:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyvio

I removed most of the text from the Academics section, since it was taken from here. Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia articles. Thank you. blameless 14:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Captadam, why did you remove the link to Image:ken1.jpg? On the image page there is no mention of a copyright violation: the uploader says they took it themselves. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

It was photographed in 2004 by Howard Korn and is property of Kenyon College. It resides in the Office of Public Affairs photography collection, and the copyright information on the image page is incorrect. --Captadam 15:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I stumbled on your report at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2006 November 10/Images. For some reason you did not complete the image nomination correctly, nor take the quick way of emailing the foundation. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Honestly, when I came upon the image, I was not sure of the way to report it--I just knew its origin and that the copyright statement was incorrect. I'm not a pro at this. My apologies for reporting it incorrectly. --Captadam 15:17, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and, thanks for your help doing this the right way! --Captadam 15:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Quite understandable. I had thought the page for representatives of the rights holders was easy to find, but I never use it. I have completed the nomination according to the instructions at the top of the page Wikipedia:Copyright problems. An admin will deal with it now. By the way, I hate copyright violations, and I am unhappy about the crest too. I just noticed that the interpretation of the arms, Shield.jpg, has no source information, so we can't be sure the artwork is old enough to be public domain, though that is certainly likely. What do you think? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I actually work in the office that manages all that stuff, although I am not putting myself out here as the guy who actually determines all these rules. The crest appears all over the place, so that was likely pulled off Kenyon's website. I'm not sure what to think about it, in all honesty. --Captadam 15:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Student Organizations

I don't know what the Wikipedia standard is for including bunches of links, but the large numbers of red links (Wikipedia links that await an article) in the student organization section make me want to take them all out and only list the student orgs that have their own Wikipedia page. The rationale is that if it's important enough to be on the list, it should have its own page.

Thoughts? --Nufftin 19:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
