Talk:Emerson College/Archive 1

Listing Alumni, Faculty, and Presidents
For listings of Alumni, Faculty, and Presidents, we are using category listings instead of raw listing of people. This way, we can link to a category and get a full alphabetized listing.

For example, the Alumni category (Category:Emerson College Alumni) is a list of alumni.

For people without wiki entries yet, we'll list them on here. Once someone gets around to making Wikis for them, put the proper category in and remove their listing on the Emerson College page.

To add the Alumni category to a wiki entry:

 

For Faculty (past and present):

 

For Presidents (past and present):

 

Make sure to replace Lastname, Firstname with the name of the person. For example: Emerson, Charles Wesley.

Policy on listing individuals
In the past, we had some issues of a never-ending list of alumni on this article page. The Category pages fixed this issue. It's OK to link people key in the history of the College itself, but starting a list negates the purpose of the category pages. Seg 04:48, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Labor Dispute
I didn't touch this subject since I'm not in a position to know the history of the dispute. I do want to remind the people who take on this subject that the nature of Wikipedia is to be neutral and historic. Please cite your sources. If in doubt, put it in this discussion thread first for review. Seg 01:46, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

The Page
Is there another link for Women In Motion? I just get a wonky folder page.

Bad Link: Jonathan Miller
Jonathan Miller, a recently appointed member of the board, is the CEO of AOL Time Warner. However, the article linked is for a different Jon Miller. 69.168.95.125]] 19:54:25, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Made the change to link to Jonathan Miller (America Online). This link is refered to from the AOL page itself. Seg 18:30:34, 2005-08-10 (UTC)

Walker and Tufte buildings
Article says about the Walker building, "the fifth and sixth floors are connected to the fourth and fifth floors of the Tufte building," and about the Tufte uilding, "the fifth and sixth floors of the building are connected to the fourth and fifth floors of the Walker Building." I doubt that both are true. 65.96.128.95 18:43, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Ad vs. Perspectives
I just removed a link under external links that linked to a college guide. However, the page was trying to sell a publication, rather than having any form of perspective about the college. Therefor the link is irrelevant and only an advertisement. I want to make it clear that it's not censoring opinions, but the link does not fit to the standards of Wikipedia.

Degree Types
Someone keeps changing some of the degree types to Bachelor of Science in Speech, yet the offical department websites and course cataloge list them as Bachelor of Science (no speech). Please check your sources before changing them! Seg 01:23, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Photos and images needed
I've tagged an image request, but would like to explain in more detail what is needed: As it stands now, the article has a rather stark look, with only a single photograph. --Reify-tech (talk) 22:12, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Campus map — Emerson occupies a number of disconnected buildings; there must be an up-to-date campus map available to help visitors and new students find their way around. Also, the story of Emerson's growth and complete relocation from Back Bay to a revitalized Theater District is remarkable, and would be easier to understand with a map color-coded for different historical phases of campus evolution.
 * Campus photos — Some pix of interesting buildings, including interiors/exteriors of restored theaters, that Emerson uses for classrooms, offices, and dorms
 * Artwork/performances — Pix of a few especially noteworthy student artwork and theatrical performances

Comedy Groups
I'd like to add a section below Student Organizations about the comedy groups on Emerson's campus. They're a big part of the emerson identity, and there are a number of groups (6 off the top of my head; I will follow-up with definitive citation before posting.) Thoughts? Does this sound reasonable? LKPull (talk) 20:59, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Article needs improvement
As noted at the top of this page, the article has a "Start-Class" quality rating. The text makes a good start at explaining the Emerson story, but it still needs a lot more work. I'm surprised that the public relations department of Emerson hasn't made more of an effort to help improve the article, including giving rights clearances for images when appropriate. This is especially puzzling, since I've heard that Emerson has a strong academic program in Communications and Public Relations. People directly affiliated with Emerson are not banned from contributing, provided that they maintain a Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV) and avoid academic boosterism.

The coverage of history, the physical campus, and student life is adequate for starters, but there is scant mention of the academic program. How is Emerson like other liberal arts colleges, and how is it different? What are its unique strengths and special competencies? How does Emerson relate to its neighbors, the City of Boston, the New England region, and the world as a whole? What have Emerson and its staff and alumni accomplished over its long history? What changes are occurring now, and what will Emerson be doing in the future? --Reify-tech (talk) 22:12, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Notable Student Organizations
According to standards for University/College pages, only Student Organizations considered notable by external sources are typically included in college pages. A majority of the student organizations listed are not notably considerable, but rather, standard for groups of their types.

Emerson Channel and Emerson Independent Video currently remain on the page for further review/discussion. Both are old organizations for their types, with EIV existing for over 40 years, but do not currently have notable citations other than to the Emerson College press entries, broken pages, or the organization's own websites.

Currently researching collegiate Emmy Awards for these organizations as a whole. Without external sources, I would propose their removal.

Residence Hall Renovation
Emerson recently began construction on Little Building and it is currently being renovated so students are not currently living in it. It will increase in size by a projected 290 beds. This will allow all Freshman, sophomores, and juniors to live on campus. This is a big change to the campus and something worth noting. Nicholas Inglin (talk) 20:07, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

New Residence Building
In 2017, Emerson College opened a new residence hall at 2 Boylston Place.

Faculty, courses
An entire article about an institution of higher learning with nary a mention of course offerings (or an categories thereof). Mirabile dictu. The student faculty ratio does speak well of the place, at least. Tapered (talk) 18:46, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I mentioned this in 2012 in the above section "Article needs improvement". Some stuff has since been added, but the basic questions I mentioned in 2012 have gone largely unaddressed. Reify-tech (talk) 18:46, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
