Image use on page

The images used on this page do not help with the article. In fact, I suspect many of them are blatent fair use violations, although I have yet to find any of these older images on the university website. I propose getting rid of most of them, with the exception of the university logos. If anyone has additional images to add, that would be great. Wrightchr 06:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Shipjship.jpg

Image:Shipjship.jpg 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.

Notable alumni

Clarification: the Notable alumni section is for alumni of Shippensburg who are notable. Adding alumni who are not notable is makes no more sense than adding notable people who are not alumni. "In general, a person or organization added to a list, as on Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, should have a pre-existing article to establish notability." - SummerPhD (talk) 19:24, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Pardon me, are your italicized words an agreed-upon policy, a proposed new policy, or something else? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 09:20, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
The italicized text is a standard warning template, reflecting our policies, guidelines and consensus. The warning itself is available at Template:Uw-badlistentry. The specific text (adding the name of the article) was added to your talk page by a semi-automated process on 21 May 2011. In addition to the notability concerns (further detailed in our discussion on my talk page), the entries were completely unsourced, with the exception of one citing a blog (not a reliable source). Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:53, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
I am unaware of a policy that requires a blue link in all cases. Of course, all entries must be sourced. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 02:04, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
The consensus text of the warning says that the WP:CONSENSUS is that entries "should" have an established article. The guidelines say list entries must be notable. If we have a reliable source saying they are an SU alumni and there is an article, there is no problem. If you have a reliable source saying they are an SU alumni and you can demonstrate notability "multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject", that would work as well -- I'll use the sources to create articles myself. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:34, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
To sharpen this a bit WP:NLIST is the formal Wikipedia guideline on the issue, which states that the requirement is "verifiable notability". So SummerPhD is right...having a bluelink to an article on the person means the person passes notability (unless nobody's realized the article should be deleted per WP:BIO standard). But otherwise, enough evidence that such an article could exist is equivalent. DMacks (talk) 06:40, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
I think I concede. I spent a bit of the morning looking over Summer’s corpus and am much impressed by the breadth and quality of her work. I am perhaps being pig-headed about this. Let me sit back this evening and consider all the considerations, but pending any blinding insights, I do believe you have convinced me and I thank you for that.

Promotional editing from single-purpose accounts and single purpose IP addresses

Please be on the lookout for promotional POV editing. The creation and editing of this article have been dominated by single purpose accounts and single purpose IP addresses. I fixed the section on Rankings, which was willfully misleading when I arrived. Be skeptical. Most of the content lacks source citations. —Finell 03:49, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
