I took these photos while visiting campus with an alumna a few months ago.  I'm not comfortable enough with the history/relevance of the subjects to put them to use myself, but feel free to incorporate them into any of the Bryn Mawr-related pages if you think they might be appropriate. -- JVinocur 21:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I added a section about significant places and architecture and encorporated your photos.  If anyone has good photos of Erdman Hall (or any other campus features) that would be great.

message: An anonymous editor recently added Jane Goodall to the list of Bryn Mawr faculty.  I was not able to find any evidence that Goodall had ever taught at Bryn mawr, either through general Google search for '"Jane Goodall" "Bryn mawr"', in the Wikipedia article on Goodall, or on the Bryn Mawr Anthropology department web pages.  I removed the entry.  If Goodall did teach at Bryn Mawr, the listing should be accompanied by a citation.  -- Dominus 15:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the alumnae list should be changed to a table, with columns for name, year of graduation, degree, and what they're famous for. This would make it easier to read. Also, should this list be arranged by date of graduation, rather than alphabetical by last name? --Libertylaw 21:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "Each is named after a county in Wales: Brecon, Denbigh (1891), Merion (1885), and Radnor (1887)."
These are towns, not counties. the counties associated with these towns are Brecknockshire, Denbighshire, Merionethshire and Radnorshire.

message: I understand that universities nurture a great many Wikipedians, and they have a good deal of school spirit; however, the primary definition of Bryn Mawr is not Bryn Mawr College.  It is very difficult for us to not take a self-centric point of view.  Bryn Mawr is a farm near the Welsh town of Dolgellau; a census-designated place in Pennsylvania; a city in CA; a neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN; a census-designated place in WA; a Historic District in Chicago, IL; and a rapid transit station on the Chicago.  
A search for Bryn Mawr should not redirect to Bryn Mawr College.  I take exception to this undo by JHunterJ.  I will remove the redirect to this page unless there is reason to believe that this college definition trumps places across the US and abroad.  Nicholas SL Smith 00:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is Erdhman hall considered "one of this century's great buildings"?  Is this official or someone's opinion?  It seems that without citation, this should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.106.214.149 (talk) 01:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone wrote that because of its affiliation with the Seven Sisters colleges, Bryn Mawr was considered the sister school to Princeton University. First of all there was not a required direct link to a "brother" institution in order belong to the Seven Sisters. And secondly if Bryn Mawr were to associate itself with any male counterpart, it clearly would have been Haverford College.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.49.151 (talk) 20:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Under the History section, someone has inserted a paragraph about Bryn Mawr's recent inclusion in an article about women's colleges promoting themselves in the Middle East. However this doesn't seem appropriate to include under the History section, so perhaps we could push it under a new one?Talkmuchlater (talk) 14:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bryn Mawr in the news...? 

message: 'Highly selective' is both well referenced as well as a peacock word. According to the guideline, Peacock terms often reflect unqualified opinion, and usually do not help establish the significance of an article. They should be especially avoided in the lead section. Though the term is well-referenced, I suggest removing it from the lead but including it in the body of the article.  Even though it is well referenced, I suggest not including it in the lead and note that it is already included in the section "Academics" where it is appropriate. --RegentsPark (My narrowboat) 21:10, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur that it would be more natural to put this "highly selective" designation in the body of the article.  I don't think the "highly selective" language needs to be removed altogether though.  I, for one, am interested in knowing about such designations so long as they have a citation.  I think the sentence including the designation should include a few words about who gave it this label. 129.171.233.79 (talk) 01:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Third opinion

message: At least two editors have attempted to reinsert the "highly selective" moniker into the lead despite consensus reached on this talk page and universal consensus elsewhere. Please do not include this empty peacock and booster term into the lead. Madcoverboy (talk) 18:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Re-inclusion into introduction

message: The article says:
:Their Self-Government Association, formed in 1892, is the oldest such organization in the United States.
Without further qualification, this appears to be false.  I will shortly remove it.  —Dominus (talk) 15:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Please find an independent source confirming this fact.  (And it would be good if the source addressed the institutions with long traditions of honor codes as they seem to qualify as "self-government" by your definition.) ElKevbo (talk) 23:42, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  SGA is "first such organization" 

message: In the following overly loquacious post I submit a few suggestions, as although I have long had an account at Wikipedia, I rarely make major edits and do not wish to… cause any upset, if you will.
In the section discussing the M. Carey Thomas Library, the article references Athena and that she is now in Rhys Carpenter.  While this is true, the wording implies that there is no Athena in Thomas today.  Unless things have changed drastically since my last visit, there is a replica Athena in Thomas.  I'm not sure the best way to change the wording of this section to accurately reflect the fact that the original Athena is in Rhys but that there's a replica in Thomas today, given that I have limited experience adopting the tone that is Wikipedia-appropriate.
Also, could we possibly link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena_Lemnia when referencing Athena in this section rather than Athena in general?  This article references a specific Athena statue, which is the one that we have at Bryn Mawr. Until a classicist friend told me this, I had a devil of a time trying to figure out which Athena was "our" Athena.
Thirdly, in the little bit at the end of that section where we discuss the Cloisters, it mentions the cremated remains of M. Carey Thomas, but not Emmy Noether, even though she's mentioned as a Bryn Mawr person further down the page, and even though her own article mentions she was buried there. Would it be unreasonable to request her inclusion here as well?
Thank you very much for your kind attention.  Batshua (talk) 12:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

message: This referenced info about the censorship of the Confederate flag was removed twice from the "Traditions" subsection, but those editors have not bothered to explain why on this talkpage and try to reach a constructive solution. So, here we go. I am not sure where it should go in the article, if not the "Traditions" subsection. I don't think Wikipedia should pretend this event never happened. One solution might be to create a subsection just for it, like this.
*"In September 2014, two students put up a Confederate flag to support the Southern tradition.Kaitlin Mulhere, A Flag and Race at Bryn Mawr, Inside Higher Ed, October 6, 2014 However, they later removed it after the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People galvanized the student body to hold protests against the tradition."
Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 01:48, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The passage was added to the history section after another editor wrote something passage in a 'see also' section. However, references to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have been removed. I wonder why?Zigzig20s (talk) 20:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
