Student groups added to {{Cornell}}

I'm concerned that, with an increasing number of student organizations being added to the {{Cornell}} template, at some point in the future they could end up swamping the template, especially as I could totally see this thing snowballing ("Banghra has a Wikipedia page?! Well, I can think of a few reasons why the Dairy Club/The Quad/the Big Red Band is notable for a Wikipedia entry too!"). While those organizations should have articles if they're notable enough -- a lot of these groups have long, long histories -- at a certain point, we should probably consider a method of breaking student groups out into smaller groups.

One such method might be to create sub-templates that serve as hubs. For instance, instead of listing all of the newspapers at Cornell, there could simply be a link that says "Student publications" which leads to {{Cornell-pubs}}. At that template page, there could be a brief <noinclude>d intro, something along the lines of "Cornell University students produce numerous periodic publications, including 6 newspapers, 4 literary magazines, and 1 satire magazine. Use the template below to navigate the individual articles for those publications." There might be better solutions to the ballooning of student organizations in the template, but pretty soon we're going to need one solution or another. Let me know what you think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JDoorjam (talk • contribs)

I understood this when I started expanding the Cornell template, and figure that this is what we should do. Create a new page for Cornell Student Activities which goes into more detail about what students do at Cornell, and link from it on the main page as we have with mainarticle. I think this page ought to be the hub for everything students do, and include a second template, similar to the main Cornell one, with links to each of the Cornell Student Activities pages. These pages can be clubs, newspapers, a capella groups (we ought to get rid of the Cornell a capella template, we're broadening in scope here), etc. I also want to expand upon fraternity and sorority life at Cornell. Each student organization could then include both Cornell templates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercuryboard (talk • contribs)

There are two issues that may need addressing. First, pages like Cornell a cappella groups might get tagged pretty quickly as almamatercruft because, while individual groups might have claims to notability, there's not much to say about the a cappella "scene" at Cornell as a whole (that wouldn't be original research). I still think it's a good idea; I'm simply worried about hurdles to its implementation. That's why I was suggesting the workaround of putting a brief explanatory blurb on the template pages.

The second problem is one of layout: the templates are simply too big to include both on the articles about student activities. For instance, at Cayuga's Waiters, both the {{Cornell}} and {{Cornell-aca}} templates are on the page, and they take up most of the article. I propose the following solution: we generate templates by category for each sub-grouping (one for pubs, keep the one for a cappella groups), and then generate a sort of {{Cornell-lite}} template. This template would be a streamlined template specifically built for student org pages, and would have three lines: the first, Cornell's seal and name, linking to Cornell University, the second listing the other broad activity categories (either linking to the articles created for each sub-section, via your method, or if yours cannot be implemented, the blurbed templates, via mine), and the third listing the broader navigation sections that are currently in {{Cornell}}, but not its sub-parts. So, for instance, The Waiters would have Cornell-aca, and then below that would be:

                [CU Seal]             Cornell University
A cappella * Publications * Fraternities and sororities * Student governance
  Academics * Athletics * Campus * Cornelliana * Student life * Residences

... thus giving more than enough content to navigate amongst the various sections without filling up 80% of the article with Big Red Rectangles. On the "main" pages, which discuss categories (like Student life or Cornelliana), we'd still employ the "mothership" template that lists everything out. Waddayathink?

North and West Campus pictures

This is in reference to the pictures/drawings of North and West Campus. Shouldn't we be allowed to use these pictures due to the fact that they were released to increase public knowledge on the North and West campuses (by Cornell).--Cornell010 22:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Not necessarily. You have to prove that they're fair use. See WP:IT. -mercuryboard^talk ♠ 22:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cornell University peer review

I saw a comment of yours asking whether the article is ready for FAC. At the moment, I am not sure about that (given the nature of university articles and the tendency of people, especially current students and alumni, to add only positive characteristics or pure insults to such articles). However, since your goal is FA for this article, I would suggest you ask two people who can help: Tony (who helped me in copyediting the University of Michigan article) and Taxman (who had provided comments for the university articles that achieved FA). Pentawing^Talk 22:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So are we on track for Featured Article?

I was just wondering, as the 2 object people are pretty staunch in their objections.--Cornell010 03:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Probably. The objectors still have to review the changes. They haven't been back yet. —mercuryboard^talk 03:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, if all the objectors agree to support the article, then who gets it to become a FA article, you or one of the editors. Also, do we need to get all of the editors to support, or just a majority?--User:Cornell010 17:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There have to be no significant "actionable objections." That means if somebody objects, it has to be really minor, or fixed, or unfixable. Raul654 is the admin director of the FA system and he has the final say in everything. Every once in a while he sees if the discussions are going anywhere and acts appropriately. —mercuryboard^talk 17:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I got caught by something like this myself not too long ago. We can see at the NAIC mission page that they are actually a cooperation between the NSF and Cornell University, meaning that their images are not automatically public domain as if they had come directly from the NSF. There's a whole ton of stuff marked as PD-NASA with the same problem. Know anybody with a camera who lives near Cornell? Jkelly 00:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, many, including myself during the school year. The problem is that Arecibo is located in Puerto Rico, and inaccessible to the public. I've just found another source for the same image, this time on a the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day site. It credits the NSF. Comments? —mercuryboard^talk 00:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Know anybody with a camera who lives near Puerto Rico? Check out the attribution -- credit goes to NAIC, Cornell and the NSF. I think we should believe NAIC when they say that they can license their images for non-commercial use only; shared credit with a gov't department isn't enough to make it work by a gov't agent in the performance of their duties. This image is old enough that it isn't going to get automatically deleted for being noncommercial, though. Jkelly 00:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SA Resolution

Hello- I am extemely offended by the insinuation that my edits to the Cornell wikipedia page were in any way biased. If anything, I was extremely purturbed to come accross the entry that I have been trying to edit as it originally was. If you are going to talk about that Resolution by the Student Assembly (which I don't find necessary as it has nothing to do with Cornell's history, or the Student Assembly's current or future initatives), then at least qualify it as what it was-- a very unique piece of legislation that PASSED with FLYING COLORS and set a tremendous precedent for other student governments across the country. I don't see what it has to do with the SA's money management, and don't recall that coming up at all during the last few months. As such, please respect my edit, as it is not misrepresenting the resolution of university whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.25.15 (talk • contribs)

Thanks for the detailed notes! About the nbsp problem, it seems like the last several times it has falsely been triggered it always due to the usage of "in" after a number, so I simply removed it.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Hadleyontv.jpg)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Hadleyontv.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Hi,

I saw that you deleted what I added regarding NRC ranking of Cornell. NRC ranking is the mosr regarded ranking in academia and is more respected than USNEWS or TIMES magazine. The last ranking was done in 1995 and is still the most recent one. As you could see, Cornell rank in NRC is better than its rank in USNEWS, so I thought to add it to the ranking section. Of course, you could edit that section, but please keep it there as it shows academic ranking of us as well as ranking of most Enginnering Departments (surprisingly, many of our departments rank better than the whole college of Engineering).

Cheers

Replaceable fair use Image:Bethe.bicycle.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Bethe.bicycle.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Fair use rationale for Image:Edmund_Ezra_Day.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Edmund_Ezra_Day.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File source problem with File:Aspmichigan.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Aspmichigan.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
