Talk:Hanszen College

Untitled
I'm pulling off the comment about "Please don't delete this..." It's not appropriate for Wikipedia, and as a Hanszen alum, I think it looks pretty immature. I think the whole sheriff comment is pretty immature, but maybe you guys actually do stuff like that. Jcloudm 14 Aug 2006

We could probably go a little bit more in-depth on the government, as the current version makes no mention whatsoever of the committees. HFH '04 --69.7.175.177 13:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

As a Hanszen alum, I respect your opinion regarding the sheriff line.

However, I think you're a piece of shit for censoring what is the only humorous line in an otherwise information-only article, especially on the last bastion of user-created free speech (the internet).

Sounds cool to me.

That bit about the Sherriff needs to stay out of this article. Wikipedia is not the place for jokes or graffiti. If you want to put that up on hanszenet or your own web site, that's you're business. However, Wikipedia already has enough trouble being taken seriously, without people undermining it by putting in intentionally false statements. Additionally, as a Hanszen alum, I am disappointed in the lack of creativity in your humor. It's just simply not that funny. You should be able to make a joke that's more intelligent than that, while still upholding the level of accuracy that Wikipedia is striving for. I mean, come on, isn't there something true AND funny that you can put into a new 'life at hanszen' section? Ekao1111 15:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Note that jokes are specifically included in the Wikipedia definition of vandalism: WP:VANDAL It doesn't matter whether you think it's funny or not. Ekao1111 16:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Ekao111 -- It did happen. Joe was the Sheriff. It was elected as a permanent position - in a cabinet meeting in 06'. Look at the minutes if you want. Just like the "Tom Miller Bitches and Hoes" committee (a real committee at Hanszen, with the most funding of any - even socials), this is a real thing. So keep changing it if you want -- we will prevail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.27.21.18 (talk) 06:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

A joke is a joke, even if it has basis in real life. If you want to include it, put it in a new college humor section, and put it in quotes. There's no problem with documenting jokes, provided they are identified as such. Also, let's try to keep this discussion mature. Modifying another person's comments is again just showing that you don't understand the concept here. Finally, if you want to get some respect here, register and sign in when you make edits. If it's so important to you to "prevail", then you should be able to step up to the plate and take credit for it by name. Ekao1111 18:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

On a different note, I'll be removing the Hanszen Halo League. A list that is just tacked on to the end of the article makes no sense. It should include some sort of discussion and some references. Ekao1111 18:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments
Hey J8tennet, I really like the comments, it's a really interesting history that, as a Hanszen Alum ('08) I'd never heard. Probably though, you should phrase them as a quote and that would make you the source for teh facts in the article (just quote yourself like it was a newspaper). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Braddodson (talk • contribs) 04:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Grounds?
Almost the entire "Grounds" section is unnecessary, unencyclopedic information, and frankly, it's not even interesting. If there are no reasoned objections, it's going to get pared down to the roughly three sentences it deserves. The "Legacy" section needs much better referencing, and I'll be trying to find and add those shortly. Also, if someone who knows a bit more about it would add a History section or similar, that would be fantastic, but if not I'll see if I can get to it. Jgr2 (talk) 04:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

What about mention of the Guardian? It deserves more mention than a simple listing as "the mascot." Seems like this is something deserving to go in the "grounds" section...? Efortuna (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC).

The Guardian should be mentioned within an "Architecture" section that describes the college buildings, rooms, and facilities. AniRaptor2001 (talk) 17:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
