(D)s?[edit]
What is this "(D)" before the names of so many alumni on this list? Could somebody please define it on the article page? --Hnsampat 15:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- (D) is for deceased. I'll make a remark on the page about that. --HelloAnnyong 16:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- That's what I thought at first, but some of the deceased alumni aren't marked with a "(D)" and at least one of the alumni marked with a "(D)" is not really dead. --Hnsampat 16:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- That may be true; this article is mostly carry-over from when I separated it from the main Colgate page. Go ahead and adjust the (D)s as necessary. --HelloAnnyong 18:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the (D)s seem to have been removed from Wiki lists like these. I'm going to go ahead and remove them. --HelloAnnyong 18:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Colgate Seal.gif[edit]
Image:Colgate Seal.gif 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 ensure 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.

faculty list[edit]
Shouldn't we establish some guideline concerning which faculty are notable enough for this list (we certainly can't list them all). Clearly, if they meet WP:N, they should have their own article and be on the list. But what non-article-meriting faculty should be on the list? Is (for example only) Waldman notable enough to be on the list? --Cheeser1 (talk) 19:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- If anyone has an article, then they should be listed. If there's no article, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're not notable - just that no one has gotten around to writing an article about them. WP:PROF has its own guidelines for such a page. For example, under WP:PROF, criterion 5, Aveni would be notable if we could find an article that marks him as one of the founders of archaeoastronomy. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 19:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Right, WP:PROF would be the notability guideline for if they have an article (in which case they should definitely have an entry on the list), but do we have a less strict set of criteria that allows professors who don't merit their own article to be included on this list? --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:13, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. What do other pages do? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 20:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Inventors of Trivial Pursuit[edit]
I think it is arguable that Ed Werner (1971) and John Haney (1972) were co-inventors of Trivial Pursuit. According to other sources, the inventors were John's brother Chris, as well as a gent named Scott Abbott. [1]. John and Ed seemed to have helped out after that initial invention.

Former faculty[edit]
No place here for former faculty? The late Manning Marable, for one. He was a professor there and was founding director of the Africana and Latin American Studies Program.Dogru144 (talk) 18:21, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
