Bethel College (Indiana)

 * Thanks for the note on my talk page. I don't doubt that that stuff exists, I know my school had them too.  I could quote all kinds of wiki-babble about Citing sources or Reliable sources or Importance.  But the short version really comes down to this.  There is no way to know, for sure, if you really go there or if that stuff really happens.  Now, if it was in a campus newspaper or official online website, that would work fine.  And a good test would be if you walked over to the good old World Book Encyclopedia, would this be in there?  The college would probably be there, but these traditions would probably not.  They would probably be on a local blog or other online forum about the school, but not here.  Thanks for not re-entering the information, it helps reinforce that your contribution was made in good faith, as I hope you'll take the feedback.  -- MrDolomite | Talk 05:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
