Technology High School enrollment
I go to Technology High School and we have about 250 students, not 600. Changing it.

Fair use rationale for Image:CSU.PNG
Image:CSU.PNG 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I can take over
Sounds good to me, even though there has been no activity on this page for a while. I can go ahead and take over editing for this article. I am a student at SSU and would like to see this page grow to reflect the growth of the university. (Superdk17 02:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC))
 * You are welcome to edit as you like, but there really is no "taking over" of articles, as we all edit any and all articles.  K u k i ni  hablame aqui 13:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Controversies Section
I'm just curious if we really need the controversies section in the article. the cases seem inconsequential and and no other school has a section listing the type of "controversies" that this school has. any thoughts from anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.157.153.131 (talk) 23:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * SSU's controversies are a part of its history, but the controversies listed do read as fairly inconsequential. The Title II controversy I have never heard of, and the Arminana situation is explained better in Arminana's own Wiki article. I think the Cossacks mascot naming controversy should be in this section if it is to be kept. A recent controversy is this year's "Public Ivy" study finding the school to be the whitest campus in California (and throwing castigation around for that), but I don't know if it rises to the level of something that should be Wiki'd.

Mike Horner
He's not a film actor, he's a porn actor. His page even says so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.111.10 (talk) 00:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

He's been in lots of films, not all adult. Film actor is the most generic term that covers all of films he has been in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.103.6.12 (talk) 21:13, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Student Center
There needs to be a change to the article about the Student Center. It was approved by the student population on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 by 58% of the vote in favor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.157.102.143 (talk) 03:29, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
tagged this article as having conflict-of-interest issues. Which editors and/or content areas currently suffer from COI?—Stepheng3 (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * , Magioladitis didn't add it.   added it with this edit.  If you look at the edit history, Theroadislong added it because they were dealing with several SPAs at the time.  The SPAs were also creating/editing other articles about Sonoma State.  Bgwhite (talk) 01:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * My error. Thank you for straightening me out. I'll ask to comment.—Stepheng3 (talk) 01:05, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem. I do it all the time too.  Bgwhite (talk) 01:18, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Not only conflict of interest editing but copy and pasted copyrighted material too. Theroadislong (talk) 14:09, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * My mistake that was a mirror version. Theroadislong (talk) 14:15, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification. I've removed the COI tag.—Stepheng3 (talk) 21:05, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There is still VERY much a conflict of interest with User:Katiebeermann though. Theroadislong (talk) 21:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah. That's what I wanted to know. I'll study the relevant edits and see what I can do to resolve the issue.—Stepheng3 (talk) 23:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've reviewed User:Katiebeermann's edits to this article. All the changes were constructive, and none introduced any bias that I can see. I see you had a dispute about whether individual SSU schools should have their own Wikipedia articles, but that seems to be resolved. As it says at COI, the tag is not intended to be a badge of shame. I see no reason to retain it.—Stepheng3 (talk) 22:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I have removed large chunks of unreferenced, promotional puffery the article read more like a university prospectus, I think it is more neutral in tone now. Theroadislong (talk) 22:34, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that. I would appreciate it if you would mark unreferenced material before deleting it. I was able to supply quite a few of the missing citations with very little effort. Despite that quibble, the bottom line is that the article is much stronger now, thanks to your keen eye for puffery.—Stepheng3 (talk) 23:45, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

POV and advert language
During my copy edit for the GOCE, I tried my best to catch all of the POV and advert language. In some parts it still seems a bit like a brochure, but I think it's OK. If there is anything else I can do, please let me know. - Pax  Verbum  06:20, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
