Dartmouth College
Hey Mike! I'm an extensive editor on all of the Dartmouth-related articles, so I noticed your edits (if you can't figure out 'smith120bh', I'm the only hit in facebook if you do a search). The problem is that Dartmouth is one of the best-covered colleges on Wikipedia, partly because COSC 4, I believe it is, which has a graded assignment to write a Wikipedia article. Consequentially, people like to add large quantities of information that takes up a lot of space to the main Dartmouth College article. I moved your lists over to the Dartmouth College student groups article, which was created for the purpose of holding information on all these organizations, and changed the main article section to a summary with numbers of organizations. Feel free to change that around, but I think those lists take up far too much space in the article (and are very subject to 'me too!' edits, with 'why are we listing these organizations, and not (insert group here)?'). Anyways, that attracted my attention to actually getting that part of the article revised, too. Keep editing! --└Smith120bh/TALK┐ 00:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
