Talk:Loyola Marymount University

USNWR Comparison to UCB etc.

Whoever added http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/compare/items+11649+1264+1312+1315+1328 saying it means Loyola Marymount outranks the other schools was in error. They were in different normalized categories. It's comparing apples and oranges, where the apples are normalized to Harvard, and the oranges are normalized to Trinity University. If anyone disagrees with this, please discuss here. 128.220.160.6 (talk) 06:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

New Logo, etc

I found a copy of the seal in a larger resolution and colored it in manually. Also added the stationary logo at the bottom. I want our wiki page to look good. haha It's not perfect, but it's better than before. I also added color blocks and a USA flag in the location section of the info box and the motto in English thing. Just a couple of finishing touches. :)

I just added a new version of the seal. The new version more accurately represents the official colors and is much sharper. Mishigaki (talk) 05:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Endowment

Just wondering where the $500 million came from. Most of what I have seen has been around $250-$270 million, unless the endowment doubled in size within six months, which would be very impressive.

Where are your sources for this $250-70 number you've "seen around." Per the website the total clocks in at $380 millions. http://www.lmu.edu/Page37688.aspx Admit32

NPOV

I'm with Danny -- What are you talking about? I'm so confused! I'm surprised LMU would be ranked below UCR. 70.231.231.161 (talk) 01:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

HUH? Danny

Wealthy and beautiful? True, I suppose, in the same way that spoiled and blonde would be. I think that statement needs some quantification.

I was wondering how LMU would rank academically in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University survey (do a google search for "best universities"). San Diego State is at number 301 out of 500 world universities. Does anyone know how much lower the Loyola Marymount campus would be than UC Riverside or Santa Cruz (both # 101 of 500)? If someone really knows please reply to my query. Thanks. Vivaldi4Stagioni 08:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Layout

Just a suggestion: This page has alot of good info; however, it could be organized a bit better. Have you thought about creating a full article for the athletics section. Take a look at how the Boston College article is organized...it's really good, & I've been using it as something of a model for my work on the SCU page. SCUMATT 05:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Layout suggestion

I agree SCUMatt that a better layout would help streamline things. But I would suggest giving the Campus Ministries section it's own section, no? It seems to take the bulk of LMU's entry yet isn't entirely relevant for most surfers imo.

Campus Ministry

I created a new article for LMU, Campus Ministry. Does anyone have an issue with this? I do think it helps shorten LMU's very long article and gives those who want to learn more about campus ministry a convenient link.

Notable alumi edits tonight

A couple of red wikilinks showed up tonight. The most suspicious is one annotated with The Fro Doob which only shows up in Wikipedia entries on this name and mirrors of Wikipedia. The name appears to belong to a law firm but the The Fro Doob sets the hackles off. The other entry for Tom Leach should also be confirmed.

On other articles I follow for other projects, red wikilinks are not allowed unless the link is really well known. These two are obscure to me and could be self or complimentary edits. Ronbo76 06:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

St. Ignatius Loyola

Well, it turns out that ST. Ignatius Loyola founded this wonderful, outstanding business university. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.33.97 (talk) 23:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Broken Link

The link in the page summary up top that should link to the page of the 5 Marymount (collegiate) institutions (if such a page exists) instead links to the page of a college prep school in New York. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raliugar (talk • contribs) 01:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Loyolanlogo.jpg

Image:Loyolanlogo.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.

Student-related information polluting this article, specifically the Greek section

It looks like some administrator at LMU has taken it upon themselves to remind the world of LMU's Greek Life policies. This does not belong in the Wikipedia article.

Example:

There are non-registered and un-recognized groups that exist on campus and are NOT affiliated with LMU or any of its departments. Any group that claims it is a part of LMU has no validity unless registered through Student Leadership & Development. More information can be found at www.lmu.edu/greeklife

Cite your policies all you want, but no matter how hard you try you cant deny the existence of other Greek organizations at your university. Stating otherwise is outright lying, and the truth needs to be told. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M07tex09 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Misrepresentation of Facts

In regards to the Campus Greek life section, LMU outright misrepresents facts about the presence of other Greek organizations on campus. Though they may not be recognized, these organizations still contribute in a big way to campus life. Any misrepresentation by LMU should be condemned, as people searching Wikipedia should gain a thorough understanding of the school community. I consider this a major violation of trust of a major university. M07tex09 (talk) 02:14, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Let's be very clear here. First, Loyola Marymount University does not edit this article; Wikipedians do. Second, Wikipedia is not a forum or a complaint department for potentially libelous statements that are contradict the neutral point of view. It sounds like you have a bias towards this university and should not edit it or take out your bias on it. ----moreno oso (talk) 02:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Point well taken—however, editors could also be at the college. The college leaders may, or may not, know about concerns. 68.123.157.117 (talk) 00:13, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
