message: Who the Heck is Dale Cover I don't think this guy is famous. I think perhaps he (or a friend) stuck himself in here and we're all just too unsure of who he is to get rid of his listing. He was added to the list 12:29, 31 March 2006 by 12.27.177.240(who put in only two other contributions and then left forever, but not before putting "Don Juan" under "Security"). My suggestion is the prompt deletion of this person from Famous Alumni as a quick google search turned up only two references: One for XML Professional Developer's Tutorial and another one on "Securying your most valuable Asset". The XML Tutorial lists him as an Orbidex XML Developer. While this may be a fairly significant job, I doubt it brings him any fame to speak of, nor does two articles written on the internet constitute in my definition "Famous." The other three Famous Alumni include a US Senator, two RI Governors and a noted author. "Mogul" Dale Cover does not even rate high enough of fame to warrant a Wikipedia entry, which I think is one of our most authoritative ways on gauging fame: how many contributions to the wikipedia entry on you have been made by people besides yourself or under your employ.

message: I'd like to add an architectural note, but would at least like to know when it was built.  Does anybody have any information on this?--Loodog 05:06, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I notice you threw in an architecture section but failed to say anything about the actual layout of the school. Perhaps you'd like to add that the next time you drop by to change things. --TheMadjester 20:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Year built? 

message: The developer had taken a prison contract prior?  I don't know, this sounds like one of those rumored claims no one's actually read.  People like to think it was designed by prison architects because it looks and feels like a prison, but it's just 1970 Brutalist Modernism at its worst.  Then again, if you can find something saying that Hoppin & Ely had been hired to create a prison building...--Loodog 23:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This was actually reported to me first-hand from a women who's family owns the firm and was annoyed at hearing the constant joke/rumor that the school was designed by a prison architect. I'll leave out the part denying the rumor, but I'm putting the fact that there is a rumor/joke circulating among the students and faculty at Classical that the school was a designed as a prison architect back in. If you've ever set foot in Classical, you know this is at least true. --TheMadjester 19:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I acknowledge the existence of the rumor, but would like to add a note that the rumor is not true; else it's misleading to write it.--Loodog 18:51, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried another round at that final paragraph, let me know how it strikes you.--Loodog 19:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And now SarekofVulcan has removed the paragraph altogether.  Argh.  This it the problem with rumors being on wikipedia; they can be relevant, useful, and interesting enough to be in the article, but we get people who don't like the fact that you can't source it.--Loodog 19:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder how long Sarek has been out of the school. I remember it being explained to me on orientation by the seniors, and that was only four years ago. --TheMadjester 00:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  prison contracts? 

message: I've heard (from many independent sources) that Brown unofficially saves a certain number of its acceptances for Classical students.  For example, in my class, we had 7 or 8 kids end up going there, which is statistically far above what you'd expect for a class of 300 with the academic standing of Classical.  If anyone can confirm this fact, it should be in the article.--Loodog 19:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason that the tables are that eye-wrenching color? I realize that purple is the school color, but the presentation of this sort of information should be standardized throughout WPSchools.
