[edit] Comma in name

The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities style guide [1] explicitly notes the comma in the name, and the, albeit inconsistent, lack of a comma in Minnesota State University Moorhead. John Fowler 10:57, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Student org section

I wonder if the newly added "Student organizations and campus life" section is a good idea. If we develop that list to include all of the orgs on campus, then the lists' length will be rather out of proportion with the rest of the article. Do we really need a long list of dozens of clubs? Looking at the other MNSCU schools, I see no other lists of student orgs. I don't think it really adds much value to the article... Boubelium 04:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Other (non-MNSCU) school articles do this. I do see your point, but "student life" is a significant part of the school. To ignore it completely in the article does a disservice, I think. ⇔ ChristTrekker 18:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MSU Stomper.gif

Image:MSU Stomper.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
