William Gould Dow

Hi Sarcasmboy. You are off to such a great start on the article William Gould Dow that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- JayHenry 21:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

History of the University

You have done an amazing job on the history section...many thanks from a fellow alum. That said, the campus expansion section -- which I don't think you have contributed to yet (?) -- could use some the the same meticulous work that you expended on the sections higher up on the page. I've listed a number of my personal ambitions for the general article on the main discusson page...any contributions that you might make based thereon would be quite useful, in particular: documenting history of any of the buildings; the Merit Network which was so pivotal to the early years of the net, but is, sadly, almost completely undocumented; adding pages for the rest of the professional schools (which I would contribute to once they are launched); adding to the sadly underpowered undergraduate division page; adding languages; most importantly, adding photographs, the campus has a number of points of beauty that are not documented in any fashion and photography adds a whole other dimension to the perception...I'm not currently logged in, but have made many/most of the contributions to the Ross School page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.129.119 (talk) 00:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Did you know

On 22 October, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Fort Shelby (Michigan), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Eddie Boros

I noticed you started this article, and I was just curious what connection you have to him. I'm glad you started it, but I don't believe he was much known outside of the East Village. I used to pass him every day, and it was a pleasant surprise to see an article on here about Boros. --David Shankbone 14:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I have no connection at all to him. I came across a red link to his name, and was curious as to who he was. Since I bothered to find out, I figured I would write the article. He certainly sounded like an interesting character... Sarcasmboy (talk) 10:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Userspace draft moved into mainspace

Hi,

I recently moved one of your userspace drafts into article space in order to repair a Cut and Paste move than an editor had performed earlier. You can read the notice on our administrators' noticeboard here. They copied the editable text from your draft, pasted it into a new window and made an article. This is bad for us because it means that you, the creator of that content are not properly attributed. In repairing the move I had the option of either simply deleting the content from article space or moving your draft page over their article. Since the draft seemed good enough to be an article, I chose to move your draft page over their article.

This is reversible! You can view your draft as it was when you last edited it by clicking on the page history and viewing the revision which bears your name. If you feel that the draft does not belong in mainspace, contact me or any other admin and we will simply move the article into your userspace and delete the redirect. You can reverse the move yourself if you choose, but please remember to place a speedy deletion template (such as {{db-house}} or {{Db-r2}}) on the resulting redirect from the article to your subpage.

I'm sorry that your work got mixed up like this. Please let me know if there are any problems or if you need help with anything. Protonk (talk) 06:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2016

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Nyangatom people. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Feedback on alum categories

First, many thanks for your work on the various Michigan articles

Second, I'll offer a quote attributed to Napoleon: "Quantity has a quality all its own". For example:

• Churchill Scholarship or Marshall Scholarship: None of these people are Wikilinked, so (without further investigation) are likely non-notable. I don't think receiving a scholarship, even a highly selective one, warrants inclusion in this list. I propose removing this section entirely."

<=== my take is that while you MAY right today, some of these folks: 1) may not have been researched; 2) some may become notable.

"Turing and Grace Murray Hopper Award winners: Fits cleanly within a Computers and technology section" <=== yes, they fit cleanly but my take is that moving prize winners from any category out of a more "general" awards flavored section will tend to lead to dilution and a violation of Napoleon's maxim.

"MacArthur Foundation award winners: Harder to categorize, as you observe, and recipients may be spread across multiple sub-lists in different articles. Maybe these should be moved into their respective profession sections with an annotation." <=== same comment as before: this will lead to a degree of dilution. I'm not sure what magazines use for their sources but one frequently sees synoptic articles that rank order schools by award winners and having such a list easy to find will facilitate that research.

"Pulitzer Prize winners: split roughly evenly between journalists (listed in this article) and writers/composers (listed in a separate article). This one seems the hardest to reconcile with the current article organization. I think the best thing to do is to move them into their respective professional sections with an annotation that they won a Pulitzer. (Though, as a counter-point, List of Harvard University people does include Nobel and Pulitzer winners at the top, and all other awards are just mentioned in the summary for a person.)" <=== yes, it standard to keep them aggregated (I believe that Columbia University where the award is housed keeps them in one list. Again, the Napoleonic principle at work...

"Rhodes Scholars: Only 9 of 27 people listed have articles, suggesting to me that having been a Rhodes Scholar isn't in itself enough to establish notability, and I think these should be moved to their respective sections with the Rhodes Scholarship mentioned in the summary. This article should be about organizing and summarizing already-notable people associated with the university." <==== Yes, the slimness of the list makes and argument for dispersion, but then how will the main article be maintained for count?

"National Medal of Science Laureates/National Medal of Technology and Innovation: About half of these people are already listed twice, once here and once under their respective profession. I think moving the former under Science and the latter under Engineering and technology would be appropriate. Sarcasmboy (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2018 (UTC)" <=== Other schools tend to aggregate these, when the number is smaller and split them into separate lists when the totals are larger. Sadly, these lists for Michigan are "solid" but in the smaller category.

Several closing thoughts: 1) thanks for taking the above under advisement; 2) I hope I put these thoughts in the right location and haven't offended your sensibilities with this intrusion on your talk page. If you would like further iterations posted elsewhere, please let me know where/which-page.

Go Blue! Bluedudemi (talk) 16:59, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

@Bluedudemi: Thanks for your response! You make good points, and all of this points to the complexity of trying to organize such a long list as this. Some thoughts...

some of these folks: 1) may not have been researched; 2) some may become notable Both true, although I think (2) is less relevant, since notability guidelines specifically point out that "may be notable someday" is not the same as "notable today". But we're talking about the content of the article here, rather than whether they are notable enough for their own article, so the bar is lower. But I am still left wondering why these scholarships and not others. It seems this article should be about organizing other content that is already on Wikipedia, rather than non-wikilinked lists of names that I could also find just by Googling. But it's very possible I'm missing some ways that this content is providing value here.

moving prize winners from any category out of a more "general" awards flavored section will tend to lead to dilution You may be right, but then there are other awards that are already in specific categories, and some consistency seems desirable. The Turing award in particular is very specific to one field of study, so seems to have a "natural" home there to me.

For the Pulitzer winners, my concern is that someone may reasonably jump to one of the "arts" headings looking for someone, and thence to the child article, without noticing that there is a separate Pulitzer category. I guess if we made a reasonable effort to ensure Pulitzer winners were listed both in the main article (under Pulitzers) and the child article, it might be less of an issue.

Maybe another reasonable approach would be to have top-level headings for "Major award recipients", "Scholarship recipients", "Alumni notable in their field" or similar. Mostly I'd just like to put a little more organization into the headings because right now it seems very confusing trying to guess where I might find people notable in a particular field.

Anyway, those are some thoughts, would love to hear more either here or at Talk:List_of_University_of_Michigan_alumni#Propose_simplifying_heading_outline. Sarcasmboy (talk) 00:59, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

But we're talking about the content of the article here, rather than whether they are notable enough for their own article, so the bar is lower. <===Ok, understood as to notability.

But I am still left wondering why these scholarships and not others. It seems this article should be about organizing other content that is already on Wikipedia, rather than non-wikilinked lists of names that I could also find just by Googling. But it's very possible I'm missing some ways that this content is providing value here. <=== Ok, I'm waving the white flag on the Rhodes compilation. Agreed, it is probably not that useful and should be moved or consolidated. Either approach seems reasonable. For those folks which actually have links, one approach might be to consolidate all of those links on one page (Marshall, Goldwater...) <=== As a new thought: the University of Michigan generally is the #1 public and #5 or better over-all producer of Fulbrights. It would seem worthwhile to not include all the links on one page (there would be hundreds) but it would seem worthwhile to have a brief section/mention...perhaps even as prominent as the front-page in the alumni section;

moving prize winners from any category out of a more "general" awards flavored section will tend to lead to dilution You may be right, but then there are other awards that are already in specific categories, and some consistency seems desirable. The Turing award in particular is very specific to one field of study, so seems to have a "natural" home there to me. <=== My thought was toward the Arts and Entertainment section; <=== I compiled/created most of the clusters on that page for Emmy, Grammy et.al. and would hope that they can be retained; <=== As to my comment on dilution: I notice that many top producing universities cluster such awards in a series of tables, so the existing framework seems reasonable...go take a look at, as an approximate peer, Berkeley or UCLA. What I've done for Michigan seems reasonable on a comparative basis.

For the Pulitzer winners, my concern is that someone may reasonably jump to one of the "arts" headings looking for someone, and thence to the child article, without noticing that there is a separate Pulitzer category. I guess if we made a reasonable effort to ensure Pulitzer winners were listed both in the main article (under Pulitzers) and the child article, it might be less of an issue. <=== that seems plausible. Again, Michigan is in the top 5 or so for Pulitzers in particular so having them in one place underscores this idea; <=== my further thought is that Wikipedia seems to be used for research. Rather than imposing on a researcher the necessity of asking where Michigan ranks for, inter alia, Pulitzers or MacArthurs, it is/would-be useful to have them in one easy to find location;

Maybe another reasonable approach would be to have top-level headings for "Major award recipients", "Scholarship recipients", "Alumni notable in their field" or similar. Mostly I'd just like to put a little more organization into the headings because right now it seems very confusing trying to guess where I might find people notable in a particular field. <=== I don't have an immediate thought, so some consolidation under Major award recipients, as you note, would be a solution; <=== keep in mind that I created most of these lists/sections in the early days on an ad hoc basis, so anything that can be done to shape them into more cohesive clusters would certainly be quite valuable.

Anyway, those are some thoughts, would love to hear more either here or at Talk:List_of_University_of_Michigan_alumni#Propose_simplifying_heading_outline. Sarcasmboy (talk) 00:59, 25 October 2018 (UTC) <=== I crafted my response before reading the above, but don't have an opinion. Let me know what might work best for you.

<=== As to further thoughts, I'll put together a comment on categories in the near future and would HIGHLY value your opinion in that regard. Bluedudemi (talk) 23:20, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

@Bluedudemi: I look forward to reading your further comments. And thank you for all the work compiling these alumni lists. I definitely did not want to leave the impression that I was looking to undo any existing work--mostly wanted to start a conversation (now happening) on how it could all be exposed most effectively. Thanks for providing the reasoning behind the categories, it helps provide context that is missing when just looking at the final result. Sarcasmboy (talk) 00:02, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

So you perspective, whatever it is and what ever form it takes, will be appreciated, so have at it.

New Alum Pages

Sarcasmboy: I've collected a few names which seem to represent alumni notable enough for inclusion in Wiki. I've yet to dabble in creating pages and wonder if I might drop those names hereunder or would you consider that spamming? If you are amenable, I'll copy paste some names and leave it to your discretion to decide which of them to include...or not. Thanks in advance for your attention. Bluedudemi (talk) 21:32, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

@Bluedudemi: Sure, go ahead. I don't know that I would have the time to take a crack at many of them, but would be happy to see the list. <=== Ok and understood that your time allocation will be totally uncertain and thanks for any effort.

Wonder if you might also want to put them in the appropriate categories under Wikipedia:Requested articles for others to find. Sarcasmboy (talk) 03:38, 13 December 2018 (UTC) <=== I tried, in the past, putting a subset of them in what I thought was the right location, but may have failed and am not sure how to got back or to monitor/measure what I did.

Architect Metcalf Robert Robert Clarence Metcalf was born in Nashville, Ohio in 1923. His family moved to Canton, Ohio and then the nearby North Industry, where Metcalf graduated from high school. Determined to be an architect, he went on to the University of Michigan, starting classes in 1941. World War II interrupted, however, and Metcalf entered the army in 1943. He was promoted to Staff Sergeant and eventually commissioned in 1945, receiving a Silver Star the same year. After returning home in 1946, Metcalf resumed his studies and began working for his mentor, George B. Brigham.[2] In 1950, Metcalf graduated from the University and opened his own practice, pursuing primarily residential commissions. In order to attract clients, Metcalf decided to design and build his own house. His wife Bettie located this lot, and Metcalf spent a year designing the house. In 1952, he began work on this house, moving in in 1953. His practice was soon busy enough that he hired assistants. Metcalf joined the UM Department of Architecture in 1955, became chair of the department in 1986, and dean of the new College of Architecture and Urban Planning in 1974. He retired from teaching in 1991, and by that time had designed over 80 houses in the Ann Arbor area. Metcalf constructed additions to the house in 1972 and 1987, and added a garage in 2010.
