 * This page is far longer and more detailed than the main article. WP:SUMMARY — mercuryboard talk 00:10, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The page is not too long or detailed for the main page, however. Yes, I did read WP summary  mwinog2777 talk
 * To quote professor Jeremy Rabkin, hellz no. This page can more than stand on its own and should do so.  It would super-duper-overcrowd the main article. JDoorj a m     Talk 02:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * OK mwinog2777 talk
 * Shouldn't there be a section on Lehman's resignation.

Williard Straight Hall Takeover
I have largely reverted the August edits on the takeover. I am surprised that it is still such a lightening rod after 40 years. The Cornell Daily Sun did an excellent job organizing a symposium and a special section this past April. I have added a paragraph on the consequences of the takeover, but have removed the disputed details. At the time, there was an extensive investigation of who burned the crosses at the Wari co-op, and at this point we will never know the truth. Citing to a book that offers speculation, does not help matters. I think that listing the specific demands of the students participating in the takeover is not helpful, because most of the demands were not granted. Nor is it helpful to get into detail or speculation on why the students brought in the guns. I trust this is a meets the NPOV test. Racepacket (talk) 10:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Nonsectarianism
I'm writing this for copyright issue purposes. I established the "Nonsectarianism" section with this edit. The prose was directly pasted from this version of the article Cornell University. I wrote/compiled 100% of that prose earlier that day, as shown by this diff which encompasses several edits of mine in unbroken sequence. &mdash;Bill Price(notyourbroom) 20:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Coeducational dorms
Originally dorms were built for the specific purpose of housing men or housing women. Lyon Hall was build as a male dorm. Today, both men and women live in Lyon Hall, the lower floors house 55 non-freshman women, but the tower is occupied by a member of Quill and Dagger, who is frequently male. Hence, it cannot be described as a women-only dorm. Racepacket (talk) 19:43, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Cornell Tech campus
This article could probably use a brief section about the Cornell Tech campus, with a link to the main Cornell Tech article. -Kzirkel (talk) 13:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Cornell Daily Sun article
We read:
 * Students and faculty have chronicled Cornell in works of fiction. The most notable was The Widening Stain which first appeared anonymously.

The link is dead; but what's odder is that Cornell's websitelet for its Daily Sun doesn't seem to have this issue. -- Hoary (talk) 22:24, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
