Talk:Belmont Abbey College

message: OK, I've put up a temp article. I took most of the stub that was there before the anonymous user uploaded all the CR-questionable stuff, and added a taxobox and some info that I found here. I have an image of the school logo (taken from the just linked website), but I am unsure of its CR status, so I haven't uploaded it or image-linked it into the taxobox.

Hi! I work at the college, I saw the uploaded content and it was on my to do list of something to straighten up!(all jumble-ly and all) lol. We have recently changed logos and I will be happy to supply the site with the proper image. Also since I am aware of BAC being on this site I will be most happy to keep an eye on the page (although I doubt, at least hope, no one woulod put a disparaging remark up!)
For what it's worth, the Sigma Alpha on Campus is not the same as the Agricultural society - there should probably be a disambiguation page for it -- the Sigma Alpha here is a local fraternity with no national ties.

Also as a Belmont Abbey College student I will watch this page and its talk page to help fill in any information needed or requested (or even help to confirm the information).

thread_title:  [[Belmont Abbey College/Temp]] 

message: There has been some disagreement on this section with Sunset551 repeatedly removing the section and it being added back in by other users.
Sunset, in one of your edit summaries you said that the section as is, "does not meet Wikipedia's guidlines".  Could you please explain which guideline it doesn't meet?  
Also, if you could explain why you think a list that is probably not complete is worse then not having a list.  It is unlikely we will always have that list perfectly up to date, and I hardly think it is useful to readers to have the list delete everytime there is a notable Alumni from BAC not present in the list.  If there is such a person that is known explicitly, then that person should be added to improve the list.
I also hope everyone can assume good faith and not refer to other users edits as vandalism.  Sunset, in case you are unaware, the edits that re-added that section were done by users utilizing software to identify common vandalism tactics (such as blanking a full section).  So they might not have understood what you were doing because you didn't give an explanation originally, or on the talk page.
Thanks. Chris M. (talk) 21:45, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable Alumni 

message: This article has needed expansion for while. I added a section entitled "history" which I hope other users can expand on. I also uploaded a couple more pictures. I'll be working on this some over the summer. What ever happened to getting the Abbey seal for the article?

thread_title:  Needs expansion 

message: I noticed Team6and7 tagged the article for revision because the article appears to be "written like an advertisement." I'm still figuring Wikipedia out, and trying to be as faithful as I can to Wikipedia's standards. Already Student7 has been extremely helpful in editing some of the content I've added and offered me some friendly correction on using neutral and objective language. That said, as the article stands it appears rather unbiased to me - I'm having trouble seeing how it is written like an advertisement, I'd really appreciate some help in identifying and revising the problematic content. Thanks! --Cajackson2009 (talk) 22:58, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: "Advert" issues

message: Students and faculty all received an email last evening noting that the Board of Trustees voted to put the college's revised curriculum into effect for the fall of 2011. The Board also voted to scrap majors in economics, computer studies, philosophy, and sociology as of June 3 2010. I want to add something to the article about this soon, but will probably need to wait until I get more sources (besides emails.) Let me know if anybody finds anything! --Cajackson2009 (talk) 21:54, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  The College Logo Has Changed 

message: The controversy regarding the 2011 contraception lawsuit has permanent link rot.  That should be removed.  Plus, there's no info on its result.  ...However, there's an NPR link at <https://www.wfae.org/local-news/2012-12-20/belmont-abbey-wins-contraceptive-ruling-in-blow-to-health-care-reform> which would solve the issue.  I'm not aware of any impacts, policies, opinions etc. that have arisen since 2012.

thread_title:  Government Lawsuit (2011) 

message: The Wikipedia article could be edited/expanded to tell the story of the Belmont Abbey College Radio Workshop. I was “on the air” my Junior and Senior years. A handful of us rotated the 10:00 to midnight shift, and shut the station down for the night with The National Anthem. We read the news on the hour by tearing off a sheet of the latest happenings from the teletype machine housed in a tiny closet. Introduced the Beatles to the listening area. Took phone call requests from lonely people. There is much more to this story, and would make an interesting read about a special time for WCGC.
