Talk:List of Johns Hopkins University people

message: I've removed all copyrighted images used under fair use, since none had fair use rationales applicable to this page, and since in general we discourage fair use for lists.  I've replaced as many as I could with free images, but I'm sure others on this list could be found to be illustrated (I'll look for a couple more myself).  Please see the fair use criteria and fair use policy for more information.  Thanks.  Chick Bowen 01:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

More are out there.  Chick Bowen 01:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  John Barth 

message: Once again, an outstanding list of alumni obscured by the mixing of graduate and undergraduate degree recipients.  People want to understand the character of a college by its graduates.  People who enroll for graduate degrees belong to a significantly different population -- they can clearly be included on a larger list, but it should be possible to see the undergraduate list by itself.  A school as good as this ought to be transparent about the difference.  If degrees were listed, I could create a filtered list in perhaps ten minutes.  Unfortunately, this has not been done here.

thread_title:  This list has become a dump 

message: I did a brief check, and didn't see a shred of evidence that he was ever involved with JHU (in fact, he spent his undergrad years at rival Princeton, according to his wiki entry). Unless somebody can come up with evidence to the contrary I'll remove him in a few days. 75.82.34.247 (talk) 12:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jimmy Stewart 

message: I added the television charater Gregory House to the list of alumni, but someone removed it.  My question is "why?".  The entry was clearly labelled "fictional character," it was truthful, it was certainly relevent to the cultural perception of Johns Hopkins, and the same information had been approved and available for years on other sections of the site.  Is Wikipedia turning into a stuffy place where only select facts are approved by an editing elite?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.165.201.47 (talk) 23:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Take your paranoia somewhere where it's warranted. I'm just a random editor and not part of any "elite". It's my opinion that fictional characters shouldn't be added to lists like this. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 00:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  You are entitled to your opinion, but removing someone else's work because you think your opinion is better than theirs is the essence of elitism.  As stated above, the entry was accurate, relevent, and noted elsewhere on the site.  I would add that calling a stranger paranoid doesn't exactly make your argument stronger.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.165.201.47 (talk) 22:29, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  See: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Stand-alone_lists#Fiction. And I created a separate section in the article for fictionals. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 19:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you.  That is a reasonable approach.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.165.201.47 (talk) 16:32, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
