Talk:Thayer School of Engineering

message: I am concerned about the conformance of this article to the Wikipedia policies on Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Verifiability. This article seems to me to be of the nature of an advertisement for the Thayer School, not a bad thing to do, but perhaps not the right place to do it.

thread_title:  Just letting it be known 

message: I was rolling really steadily on this article and kind of ran out of steam. "History," "Campus," and "Academics" are now pretty solid. Things remaining to be done before GA/FA/PR nomination:
* Establishment of "People" section. This will be difficult as there are only three people in :Category:Thayer School of Engineering people - two faculty, Syvanus Thayer, and no alumni.
* Expansion of "Rankings" section, although I can't find any other rankings that mention Thayer, including visiting the Dartmouth and Feldberg libraries for info on the subject.
* Reliably sourced critical commentary on the school - reviews, what it offers and doesn't offer, where it's strong and where it's not. This, too is difficult because it's not a very prominent institution. Tuck was easy to do because it was ranked #1 nationally several times, and so it got a lot of attention; Thayer doesn't enjoy the same spotlight.
I'm thinking this may not be able to proceed beyond GA due to the dearth of information and sources that we need. I'll try to keep digging up info. Kane5187 19:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
