[edit] Cleanup Request
I noticed this article is in pretty poor shape. I'm an alumnus of this institution, and probably from a POV issue I would be hard pressed to keep it neutral. I can provide lots of good information, I'm afraid I would be overly biased about some issues. If someone wants to either monitor my work I would be more than willing to take on cleaning this up.

- Upon further review, I am going to clean this up and enhance the information provided. Will be in 'major edit' mode for a few days while I work on it Anoncow 21:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
As an alumnus, I have always been told that the "famous" game where the football upset the opponent was against the local high school, Russellville High School and NOT Arkansas State University. I have read this on every football program and yearbook that I have read. As an agricultural school, the school mascot was the "Aggies". At that time "Tech" was considered a bunch of country farmer boys, whereas Russellville High School was more along the lines of a prep school so the idea that the "Aggies" could defeat the "high-brow" kids at Russellville increased the shock.
- Also as an alumnus, I'll use the history as stated on the Arkansas Tech Athletics history page as a reference.
-
In 1919, Arkansas Tech's football team upset the highly-favored Jonesboro Aggies (now Arkansas State University) 14-0 behind a pair of 70-yard punt returns for touchdowns and two point-after kicks by 17-year-old quarterback John Tucker. The Jonesboro team had staked claim to the mystical state football championship prior to the game. Henry Loesch, sports editor for the Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock, covered the game and coined the name "Wonder Boys" in complimenting the Tech team, then known as the Aggies, in his post-game story.

- I just checked the article on ATU (which I attended '04-'05) and it certainly does read like an advertisement. After looking through the versions, I saw the the major changes were done by a user named Samstrasner. A brief inquiry in Google, using the terms "Sam Strasner" and ATU yielded several articles with quotes similar to the one that follows. It explains why the article reads as an advertisement.
- "Sam Strasner, an assistant to the university spokesperson. . ." Akallabet 06:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Feel free to cleanup
This article was added to the Wiki for ATU simply to represent Tech in some fashion. Please feel free to edit, contribute, or cleanup in any way.
[edit] Fan Message Boards
Some moderators are saying that Fan Message Boards are Spam. Should Fan Message Boards be Allowed as External Links?
I request that this page is revised as it sounds more like an admissions advertisement more than an information page about the university. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Badpuppy (talk • contribs) 01:18, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ArkTechUniv-logo.jpg
Image:ArkTechUniv-logo.jpg 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 this Wikipedia article 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 Wikipedia: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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
