Talk:Wheaton College (Massachusetts)/Archive 1

Untitled
Someone from Wheaton's PR department made this page...(a skeptical Wheaton Alum)


 * And I thought the MIT article was bad! I found this article by Rbellin and Dpbsmith's discussion of academic boosterism, available here.  Although the database server is irritatingly slow today, I've begun a POV-ectomy.


 * One of the problems with articles on colleges is that the students, who have many legitimate reasons to loathe their habitat, never get the chance to put their complaints in nice four-color brochures. Anville 14:26, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

This was deffinetly written by the Wheaton PR department: Another very skeptical Alum. This artical borders on outright fraud. May 25/05


 * I added a section on the Honor Code, because of its importance to the community. It's an important part of Wheaton life, and it is something that should be mentioned, particularly the focus upon preventing plagiarism. And the HC decisions were through faculty and student support and collaboration.

That being said, I also believe that the piece sounds like it was written by the college. The History section, the curriculum, the lack of mentioning the Honor Code because it freaks people out, it seems too much like the college itself. I love the school, but I'm not going to kiss its butt. If I had more time, I'd edit more of it, but I hope some people would take up the task to edit the page, and make my section on the Honor Code stronger. Of course, I'd also like a WCCS page, but we can all dream :) Jlove1982 04:27, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * i've added an advert tag. Dyukanon 22:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

pictures?
Are this and this picture from (this) Wheaton? I'm not 100% sure, else I'll upload one of them to the Commons to use them in this article. Thanks, Ibn Battuta (talk) 18:13, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

The Ann Curry 2010 graduation speech snafu is not mentioned. It should be noted because it illustrates the significance of the disambiguation of the name, but I don't do footnotes. May 31, 2010

Missing Link
Lucy Larcom's name should be linked to her wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Larcom), however I have no idea how to do that, so I'll leave it to the skills of anyone who does Irish Melkite (talk) 22:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. — Aldaron • T/C 22:57, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
