Board of Trustees: Needs a bunch of references as well (not gonna list all)

All names listed here may be considered suspect until referencing is produced. Any wikipedia editors who are looking for a some fun time activities should feel free to grab a name of this list, find a suitable reference, and update the page. Please also add a line across the name in the above list so other editors know which names have been properly reference. Thanks for the helpDkriegls (talk) 04:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I looked online and Eliot Ness did graduate from the U of C in 1925 in Business and Law. Previously it said (x).

Tucker Max?
Tucker Max amongst the likes of Enrico Fermi and John Ashcroft?! Come on!

Jack McCoy (fictional)
I can't substantiate this, but the Wiki entry for Jack McCoy on Law & Order says that he went to the U of C. It's been attributed elsewhere to the L&O Unofficial Companion.

U of C Official Facebook page has posted this. As has a U of C recruiting mailer sent recently to high school students. I realize these aren’t the types of sources preferred by Wikipedia—my point is that it appears to be correct, if someone can find a more substantiated reference.

Images
There are plenty of public domain and GFDL images available to illustrate this article. All of the unfree images I removed I replaced with free images. Please do not insert fair use images, as this purpose is not acceptable within our fair use policy. Thanks. Chick Bowen 18:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

The descriptions on this page are crazy
They provide way too much information. Compare this page to the list of Princeton or Harvard people. Those descriptions are a lot shorter. I'm going to go through the article and eliminate unnecessary information.Willow1729 (talk) 04:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Refimprove tag
Almost none of the entries in this list are unsourced, so I've added the tag. It can be removed when they're mostly (ideally all).&mdash; DroEsperanto (talk) 08:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Split
I'd like to split the article up into multiple pages: faculty, presidents, and alumni. Lab school people can go to List of University of Chicago Laboratory Schools people. Fictional people should mostly be deleted IMHO per WP:TRIVIA, but I'd be willing to hear an argument for the other side, and if it existed would go to their corresponding pages (alumni, faculty, etc.). Most of the Board people are red links and should probably go, too; perhaps the notable ones could go together with the presidents on a List of University of Chicago administrators page. This page would then be preserved as a disambiguation page to the different lists, like List of MIT people. Any thoughts?&mdash; DroEsperanto (talk) 22:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Silence = consensus, so I'm going ahead and making the split.&mdash; DroEsperanto (talk) 23:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I'll add consensus to this effort. I worked on this page a year or so back. I like the new split structure. There is still a lot of referencing that needs to be done. Dkriegls (talk) 02:15, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

List of University of Chicago Laboratory Schools people
List of University of Chicago Laboratory Schools people shouldn't be in List of University of Chicago people. The Laboratory Schools alumni are not the alumni of the University of Chicago. Those who have completed Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD at the University of Chicago, or taught at the university should be included; hence, it is sensible to include lists of alumni and faculty.
