Talk:Activism at Ohio Wesleyan University

message: When I first read the paragraph about Branch Rickey I did not understand why he was included in it. I made a minor change to clarify this. I also think that the article would benefit with have it broken up into sections insted of it flowing as all one piece. Perhaps move the picture of Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson to the paragraph about Branch Rickey. It is an interesting read. Dincher 23:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nice article 

message: With the assertion by Anchoress that the article is well layed out, as it has no lead, or any sectional headings at all for that matter. Therefore, I have filed a Good Article review concerning this article. 17:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait a minute, Anchoress didn't pass the article, User:Kenyon09 did, without actually reviewing it, maybe I should of just tried to delist it after a few hours after all.... Homestarmy 17:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: I must disagree

message: OK, The references here were not nearly as bad as they were on the OWU main page, but they still need some attention---particularly around the Campus Crusade for Christ issue.  I personally do not like CCC, but unless you can provide better resources, then I question the inclusion in the section.  I do not believe this event, which appears to be isolated to the campus only, is notable. {That doesn't mean that it doesn't matter to current students, but is it encyclopedic?  Will it be an issue people care about 10-20 years down the road?  I don't think so---I cannot see it being more notable than the bonfires in 90 or 91.) The article over is improving, but the article still has a fair amount of POV... and it has improved since being nominated for GAR.

thread_title:  Footnotes reviewed 

message: It was my senior year at OWU.  The people who were grandfathered in by the 21 year old drinking age were now over 21, so the only people old enough to drink (legally) were seniors.  Shortly before fall exams, the campus announced a decision to become a dry campus! Needless to say, this idea was not well received.  One of the fraternities (I believe it was FiJi) decided to have a protest party.  The party was busted by Campus Security and 4 kegs were confiscated.  The following night, some of the fraternity brothers staged a "jail break."  They broke into Campus Security and broke the kegs out. An impromptu party broke out on the Hill that involved a small fire.  This went on for two or three different nights.  On Friday it was a huge event. The bonfire only had a radius of about 30 feet and flames going up 100+ feet into the air.  Delaware police showed up, looked at the 400+ people gathered around the fire and left.  The fire department  showed up and left.  Rumors started circulating that the National Guard had been called in to break up the group.  In the mean time, fraternities were bringing couches, matresses, coke machines, benches, lamp posts, and basically anything not nailed down to feed the fire.  One of my friends, who worked for the Transcript, had her camera and notebook thrown into the fire.  At about 1:00 am a bunch of busses showed up, and everybody prepared to run convinced it was the national guard.  It was a fraternity and soreity returning from an off campus event---and the fire got a second wind.  All Rush activities were suspended the following semester and there was a threat of having all Greek activities kicked off campus.  This event was absolutely huge among the students at OWU, we didn't want to become a dry campus, but I would be very surprised if anybody there now has even heard of this. And I suspect that in 10 years nobody will remember the adam affair... it may feel important today, but it isn't encyclopedic.Balloonman 08:06, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In the latest episode of the Alumni magazine (I forget what it is called) there was an article about how OWU won some prize for activism due to its response to Katrina.  I don't remember the details and can't find my copy of the magazine, but thought it might be worth looking up... I bet you that you could probably find the magazine at the alumni office.Balloonman 05:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello, I've just done a quick copy edit of this article. I also removed a quotation which seemed to have a missing word, and also seemed to be out of context. Basically it seemed too weird to leave as-is, so I deleted it. If this is stepping on someone's toes, I'm very sorry! Jessicapierce 19:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
