Talk:Monmouth University/Archive 1

Untitled
Hi. I saw that this article is lacking as compared to some other university pages, like University of Washington and Princeton University. I'd like to see it look bigger & more detailed. I added the edits made on 12/05/05 - I forgot to login at that time. 67.82.190.223 03:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Sports
I've added information about the NCAA tournament win, but we should add a section on athletics and move it there.

Stub-class rating: August 2007
I've rated this article as Stub-class for WikiProject Universities because while it's somewhat long, it is primarily a list of the university's buildings, majors/degrees offered, student life organizations, presidents, and a couple facts. Also, the article is rather POV; for example, the sentence "The University is located in the safe residential town of West Long Branch, New Jersey—an attractive community near the Atlantic Ocean, about an hour and a half from the metropolitan attractions of New York City and Philadelphia" could have been taken directly from the Monmouth website (and in fact may have been). Basically, the article meets this criteria for Stub-class articles: "a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level" (from WikiProject Universities/Assessment). ~ Danelo 15:14, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps not enough to save from stub class, but a good portion of original prose was lost on this edit. I restored most of that which was lost. Maybe it's enough to qualify for Z-Class level :) &mdash;Twigboy 16:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I did some work on this article as well, adding a few sections (History, Noted alumni, Noted faculty), renamed a few sections (to what is now Organization, Student life), and changed the Athletics section from bullets to paragraph form. The article now more or less complies with the article structure guidelines for Wikiproject Universities. Add that to the content restored by Twigboy (which at least partially resolved some POV issues), and this is now Start-class :) ~ Danelo 20:09, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Monmouthuniv.jpg
Image:Monmouthuniv.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

List of Buildings notable?
Is it really necessary to have a section that does nothing more than list buildings? It sounds like one or two buildings are notable, but those are already covered in other sections...including them as part of a larger list doesn't add anything to the article.—140.153.24.155 (talk) 17:44, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Radio Station Claims
The article claims that the college's radio station was the first to announce the death of Bob Marley. This has no source, and seems like something of a persistent rumor. I plan on removing it absent any source addition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.152.148.1 (talk) 21:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
