I'm not sure if the "New Jersey" part of the name is necessary. The college in New Jersey spells out the word Saint. This alone should be ok. Perhaps the disambig page should be renamed with St. and a link to it should be placed at the top of this entry. Tim. Jan 2, 2006 19:55.

New Jersey was added to the name again, this time by BD2412 Again, this isn't necessary. There are no other Saint Peter's College with Saint spelled out. Adding New Jersey to the name is totally unncessary. Look at Saint Joseph's University for example. There are other St. Joseph's, but no other Saint Joseph's. This should be reverted back. Any in agreement? Disagere? Tim. March 3, 2006. 07:56.

Fair use rationale for Image:Pedbridge.jpg

Image:Pedbridge.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.

Layout disagreement

Since Beyond My Ken doesn't want to discuss it on their talk page, I'll bring it here. I've recently edited this article, and Beyond My Ken has revert every single one calling it "atrocious". So far, he/she is the ONLY person who has issues with my layout, so I hope they will explain. I am keeping it constant with other university articles, and for them to tell me that I have "no idea what I'm doing" is completely rude, and quite frankly isn't true. I do know what I am doing and if they were a good user, they would have explained it on either the talk page, mine, or here. Here are my reasons as for my edits:

1. There is NO need to ruin the section headers like the current version
2. The logo for the athletics team is usually up at the top of the Athletics section, and if it is facing right (like this one) it is usually on the left hand side (and vice versa)
3. The Gannon Hall photo should be on the right side because it faces left in the picture
4. Help:Infobox picture does not say there has to be an actual size, so the standard 200px for the seal is not a problem; the logo size shouldn't be so small like it is now. (Why not just fill the space?)

It seems to me as if they don't really know the university article layouts, as their contributions show that they don't work in that genre much. The seal and logo should be larger than 137px so people can ACTUALLY see them. The page looks sloppy now as it is. They are being disrespectful by not wanting to comment and work this out. If they don't talk here, I'll revert. If it proceeds, then I'll take it to an administrator. This is uncalled for, especially when one is trying to act on good faith and the other isn't.

Yeah, it gets a little tiring going over the basics of good visual design with every editor who can robotically follow a guideline, but doesn't have any sense of what actually looks good. So, let's start with the basics:

• all the stuff you mentioned are non-mandatory guidelines, yet you want them to be followed as if they were mandatory policy; they ain't
• your layout looked like crap, and this layout does not.

I think that sums it up. BMK (talk) 21:12, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

I'll tell you what, let's make a deal: You get one other editor to agree that your layout is better than the current one, and I'll take the article off my watchlist and you can have your crappy layout. I'll even give you a hand: drop a note to Lugnuts, Alansohn or Richard Norton (1958- ), who are all almost certain to disagree with anything I say. Be careful not to canvass anyone else, though!

Such a deal you couldn't get on Orchard Street! BMK (talk) 21:29, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Current layout is better (canvassed Drmies). NE Ent 21:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Alright, fine. It is pretty clear that BMK has had his way of running me out (good job!). Just to note: I did not ask Drmies to agree with me, I asked them to simply comment their thoughts. I'll leave this article as is. Corkythehornetfan 22:16, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

If I were to engage in secret canvassing to support my position, NE Ent would be among the last people I would ask, since we rarely see eye to eye. In any case, whatever you do, my offer still holds: if any single uncanvassed editor thinks your layout is better than the current one, I'll unwatchlist the article.
