thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SAIS logo.gif

message: I had a brief look, and it didn't seem to me that this satisfies notability with reliable sourcing going into the topic in depth. I prod'd the article but was told to suggest a merge, which I would be fine with merging to Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies. So here is the merge suggestion. --Izno (talk) 23:48, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It does not appear from the school's web site, and from what you say above, that this is independent. The school offers apparently 3 programs: Washington, Bologna, & Nanjing. They go in one article.  But there's a more serious problem. Almost the entire article is a copyright violation of the site, slightly rearranged. And there's no point getting permission, because it is also almost totally promotional. Much better to add a proper paragraph or two of encyclopedic content, written from scratch,  to the main page, which is rather short. I started removing the worst, like a description of the ceremonies for the new building, and a section with the schools contact information, bur I then realised that most of the rest is equally unsuitable. For a further explanation, see our FAQ  about  organisations, and articles like this.  Either you can do it quickly, or i will, because we do not tolerate copyvio and we not not include promotion, not even for the best of places. DGG (talk) 03:41, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok will attempt a rewrite this evening, if the consensus continues to go towards a merge, I will happily go along with that also.  Cesariano (talk) 14:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: Would any one object to changing the name of this article to the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) Bologna Center, which is the official name of the school, and keeping the redirect from Bologna Center, which is the name it is most commonly referred to by the Johns Hopkins community. Cesariano (talk) 18:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: moved as suggested. Obviously sensible.  DGG (talk) 23:57, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change of name 

message: I have removed a large number of promotional additions added to the page by a member of the center's staff. Considering the persistent nature of the additions, I have protected the page for 3 days against their immediate restoration. When the protection has expired, it will be appropriate to add a list of those members ofthe faculty who are notable, which is defined as those having pages in WP or obviously qualified for them. The links should go to the WP pages, not the faculty home pages. At that point , there is some additional promotional language in the first few paragraphs that should be removed as well.  In particular, ref. 1 does not support the statement given aboutt he ranking of the Center,  just the ranking of the overall Johns Hopkins program.  DGG ( talk ) 01:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: you asked on my talk p."Thanks for your help! A few more questions: 1. Since the Bologna Center is a part of JHU SAIS rather than a separate entity (about half of all incoming students spend their first year in Bologna and their second year in DC), it is appropriate to have the ranking up as it encompasses all of SAIS' campuses (DC, Bologna, and Nanjing). We are one institution with multiple campuses, not separate universities like CSU- Long Beach/CSU- Fullerton. 2. How can I upload a photo of the school? I understand that the view from the terrace isn't necessarily relevant, but I'd like to upload a panorama of the school building.
Thanks!

replies: text: I replied  "If it is the ranking for the main program, it belongs in the article for the main program, not in the article for each center as if it applied to it specifically What you have just said is in fact a good argument for not having a separate article for the Rome campus, if it is merely the location for one year of one program in one school of a university. JHU gets an article as a matter of course, and a prominent school within it such as SAIS justifies an article, but a separate article for the Rome center of SIAIS within JHU is a little dubious and can only be justified if the center is independent. . You're trying to have it both ways--the more I think about it, the more I think the original idea to put this information into the main SIAIS article with only a redirect for the name of the center might be best.

thread_title: Promotional additions removed

message: I've heard the campus was built in Bologna after WW2 with state department support, for the purpose of serving as an American bastion in Bologna. (Bologna being, at the time, a famously communist city.) Could anybody corroborate this? Has it changed..?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.221.71.42 (talk) 15:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
