Talk:John Muir College

Untitled
a disambig might be useful, as another JMC merged into Pasadena_City_College. Fred Phelps went to the other one, and it caused some confusion. Derex 05:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Merge proposal
It has been proposed that Muir Special Project be moved into this article because that topics is not notable in its own right and is not deserving of its own Wiki article. The information should be merged into its parent article. Feel free to discuss this below. Truthanado (talk) 01:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Went ahead and carried out the merger since there were no objections. That article really didn't belong on its own page. Realitycookie (talk) 09:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyvio
I'm sorry, but it seems that everything that Lajolla2009 has edited into this article has been copied and pasted from the John Muir College website. According to my understanding, that isn't what we're trying to do here. Any objections to a revert? Realitycookie (talk) 14:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Response
Not everything is copied from the website, some are revised, and these information are vital for those who are selecting colleges at UCSD. Many found them extremely helpful and wikipedia can benefit from this lack of information. Changes should be placed back to its revision shape. comment added by Lajolla2009 (talk) 08:10, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

It's not the goal of Wikipedia to assist people in selecting a college at UCSD. That's UCSD's and Muir's job, while ours is to summarize the important information about the college. The bulk of it all belongs on Muir's website, which we link to. That doesn't mean that we copy and paste everything off of the Muir website into this article. If its inclusion is really that important to you, then feel free to summarize it and type it in your own words, but please don't just copy it all from another website.

Fixed, Also Fixed the "Merge" as nothing was included in the article with the merge, I had to write more about it. In the future, please consider "merging" as not simply redirecting links.Lajolla2009 (talk) 03:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I followed the instructions in WP:MERGE and added a brief summary of that information onto this page. If that doesn't suffice for you, blame WP:MERGE. Also, nearly everything you added again was just copied and pasted, with slight edits to the first parts of some sentences. That's not summary. If you really want this information in, actually write it in a brief and concise manner. Our job is not to represent every little thing about Muir College. It's to summarize the information of primary importance. Let Muir's website go into the little details like what GPA you need to qualify for the Muir Special Project major.

There are no brief summary added regarding this because of the merge. Please type them out here. Lajolla2009 (talk) 22:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * See: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Muir_College&diff=226963358&oldid=224936592 - That's pretty much all that's needed in this article about the Muir Special Project. Also, regarding the "revert war type deal" that you mentioned on the article history page, unless you want to consider this latest version of all that copied and pasted text and the previous version the same thing, then it was only one revert and should be considered on its own merits. If you do want to consider them the same thing, however, then it was actually you re-adding all of that despite a concurrence that it's not permissible to add all of that.
