Fair use rationale for Image:SaintVincentCollegeLogoCrest.jpg

Image:SaintVincentCollegeLogoCrest.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have added a lot of info, with more to come. I rearranged the information on President Towey.Pressman (talk) 11:43, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I added some references and updated some of the information --Guerillero | My Talk 20:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Alumni

We are getting close to an edit war here. Can we please discuss the notable alumni section? This is how it stands right now:

• Herbert W. Boyer, Founder and Director, Genentech
• John J. Degnan, Vice Chairman, The Chubb Corporation
• Daniel Hugh Kelly, Actor (Hardcastle & McCormick, Cujo, Ryan's Hope)
• Monsignor Paul Lenz (1925-), director (1975–2007), Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions
• Adam Maida, Cardinal Archbishop of Detroit
• Frank E. Resnik (1928–1995), CEO (1984–89) and Chairman (1989–91), Phillip Morris USA
• John Ruszkiewicz, Founder of Rhetoric Department (University of Texas at Austin)
• Mark E. Seremet, Founder and CEO, Take-Two Interactive
• Joseph Yorio, President & CEO, Xe Services, formerly Blackwater Worldwide

I propose that we remove all of the red linked name per notability of the person. If the person was notable they would have a wikipedia page.--Guerillero | My Talk 00:26, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

That the person have a wikipedia page is a somewhat arbitrary standard. Seremet is noteworthy not only because his company published the well-known Grand Theft Auto games, but also that he started it while a student. Wikiant (talk) 00:47, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't agree that it's an arbitrary standard but I do believe it's too high of a standard. WP:N only applies to the subjects of articles, not to other article contents. ElKevbo (talk) 02:51, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

How do we decide what is noteable enough to be included? If allow who we "feel" is noteable enough that opens pandora'a box for a whole host of questionable people. However if the person is noteable enough to have a page then they are also noteable enough to be in this section. I wonder if there is some hard fast policy about these sections?--Guerillero | My Talk 20:52, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

WP:UNIGUIDE says that they must have an article but that directly conflicts with WP:N so I ignore that part of the recommended guidelines. I understand your reservations about not having a hard-and-fast rule but there aren't hard-and-fast rules governing the other sections of articles and things seem to work ok. If there really are enough interesting alumni that the list grows too long then just split it out into a separate article. And we can all object if someone adds one or more alumni that are clearly minor figures that shouldn't even be mentioned in an encyclopedia article. ElKevbo (talk) 03:51, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I agree that a rule isn't possible. Why not simply make an argument to the other editors? We're (I'm assuming) all alumni, so collectively we're probably a reasonable body to decide the matter. I dislike democracy, and WP guidelines favor consensus over votes. So, let us make arguments for the individual entries. If there is a substantial minority that are against, then that would indicate a lack of consensus. What is, "substantial"? Beats me, but let's employ reason and the assumption of good faith and see where that leads us. Wikiant (talk) 13:05, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Are you assuming that we're all alumni of this institution? ElKevbo (talk) 16:08, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15)

Editors interested in this article may find the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 of interest. This workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:32, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
