Minary Ctr?[edit]

Amazing, Amazing work (inevitably a featured list, to which you're no stranger). One thing though, are we just talking about on-campus buildings? I didn't see the Minary Conference Center on here, so I thought I'd check.[1]-DMCer 10:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! At present, it's only Hanover buildings, but there's certainly no reason why it can't expand. Besides the Minary Center, the string of DOC cabins, Moosilauke, and DHMC could also be included. Kane5187 17:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, a sound article, though there seem to be various minor errors, which I have tried to correct. A note about the athletic facilities: we're missing the Blackman Football Practice Fields, Red Rolfe Field, Scully-Fahey Field, Alden "Whitey" Burnham Field, the Arthur E. Allen Sailing Boathouse, the Sachem Fields, Dartmouth Skiway, and Morton Farm, home to the Dartmouth Riding Center. We should also include the College Green, as it is the figurative heart of campus. There is also the Dartmouth Cemetery, College Park, the Bema, and A-Lot. The future buildings section should include the visual arts center as well, which will require the demolition of Brewster Hall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brian C.

Insofar as this is a list of buildings, none of those merit inclusion. We could certainly talk about changing the focus of the article to include "facilities" or something, but as it stands, those are not buildings to be included. Future visual arts center is fine -- find info on it and cite it. Kane5187 19:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Red Rolfe has a pair of buildings to serve as dugouts, one with an enclosed second floor for the press. Scully-Fahey's grandstand and monumental arch arguably count as a building, although not enclosed, and it will share with Burnham an enclosed fieldhouse that has no name yet. The Skiway and its McLane Family Lodge definitely count, as does Morton Farm, although those are not on campus. There are enclosed tombs in the Cemetery that count as buildings on campus. So some might merit inclusion.--Dartmothian 18:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought (re: my comments 2.5 years ago), I think it's best to include the buildings on the main campus, as the article states. Considering Dartmouth has hundreds of real estate holdings in Hanover alone, that's beyond the scope of this article.—DMCer 21:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Partial revert[edit]

I partially reverted some of the edits of Brian C. Chao and 135.196.27.80 -- too many changes to explain the edit summary. Rationale here:

  • New Hampshire" > "N.H." -- de-abbreviating to promote worldwide view and not assume users know what it stands for.
  • Removed specific reference to an older building. We could say it's Dartmouth Hall (originally built in 1784), the Crosby House (Blunt Alumni Center), built 1810 but it wasn't a College building when it was built, etc.... just a lot of grey area there based on how you define it. I've change it to a generic statement so that we don't have to argue over what building counts as "the oldest."
  • "Fisher Ames Baker Memorial Library," "Charles Gilman Life Sciences Laboratory," "Hopkins Center for the Creative and Performing Arts," "Amos Tuck School of Business Administration'," "John W. Berry Sports Center," "Alexis Boss Tennis Center," "Nathaniel Leverone Field House," "Carleton Blunt Alumni Center," "Dick Hall's House," "Samuel C. Bartlett Tower" -- removing full names. They're correct, yes, but they're not the popularly-known names, even as given on Dartmo. See WP:NAME#Use common names of persons and things.
The donors (the Halls) preferred that Dick Hall's House be known as "Dick's House." The "Bartlett" in Bartlett Tower honors Samuel C. Bartlett, but the building was never named "Samuel C. Bartlett Tower."
--Dartmothian 18:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Rockefeller Hall" v. "Rockefeller Center" -- Dartmo lists the latter as correct. It also gets more Google hits ([2] 41,900 against [3] 10,700).
  • "Native Americans at Dartmouth House" -- Dartmo supports "at Dartmouth" inclusion.
A dozen years ago people called it "the NAD House," short for "Native Americans at Dartmouth House, but maps these days show it as "Native American House." If this reflects a name change and people now call it the Native American House, then it should be that.
--Dartmothian 18:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Channing Cox and Maxwell "Hall" v. "Apartments" -- Dartmo supports "Hall." Again, this is an article about the structure, not the use.
  • Removing statement that the Lodge doesn't house students -- not true. [4] (updated 7/31/07, uses present tense "houses.")
  • "Fairbanks North/South" v. "North/South Fairbanks" -- Dartmo supports N/S first.

"north campus"?[edit]

The statement that one part of campus is "called the north campus" might be modified. It is true that FO&M and others use that phrase to describe the locations of buildings, but they have not christened one place "the North Campus" as distinct from the rest of campus (or "the Central Campus"). Could that phrase be eliminated or softened by simply using "north campus" instead of stating that it is a descriptive phrase, even though that might be true? "DMS is located in the northern part of campus" or "DMS is located in the north campus" seems to be all that is warranted.

Brewster hall?[edit]

Its been demolished. Should it be deleted, or noted as no longer existant? RideABicycle (talk) 02:18, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "planned buildings" section[edit]

All three of the buildings in that section are completed by now. The Visual Arts Center (VAC), by the way, is called the Black Family Visual Arts Center.

Oh, also, Brewster Hall and Clement Hall no longer exist (they were replaced by VAC). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.170.195.149 (talk) 09:00, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
