Disputed fair use rationale for Image:800px-3x21 looking glass hatch.jpg

Edits to Rockhurst University
Careful that you avoid weasel words and adhere to a neutral point of view within the Rockhurst article. I recently copy-edited for some these things, and you have reverted some of my edits. I'll leave it to you to decided if you want to change anything back for now, but I watch all the higher education articles in Missouri, so don't be surprised if I clean-up things down the line.Grey Wanderer | Talk 05:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
