Talk:Mount Holyoke College

message: I strongly believe that it is inappropriate to remove the statement that MHC is a women's college. First, the overwhelming majority of the literature will refer to MHC is a women's college in spite of the fact that they graduate FtM students, and as such we must refer to MHC as such as per WP:UNDUE. Even MHC refers to itself as a "college for women". Second, one of the most important characteristics of MHC that an unfamiliar reader should know is that it is a women's college, and that must be presented prominently up-front. On the other hand, the fact that MHC graduates FtM's is NOT a prominent fact about the institution and does not merit mention in the lead as per WP:LEAD. Third, if you are worried about technical accuracy, maybe you'll find comfort in knowing that the article on women's college that is linked now states that such schools enroll "exclusively or almost exclusively women", which doesn't exclude MHC's model.
That being said, I think the information about their policy on FtMs does merit inclusion in the article: just not in the lead, and not at the cost of clarity and accuracy. – DroEsperanto(t / c) 20:45, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wikipedia is different from a site whose purpose is to republish a university's own marketing. Mt Holyoke admits students of both sexes and both genders. And it allows students who identify as male who are also biologically male to be students, provided they identified as female at the time of their application.73.114.21.69 (talk) 18:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: (ec):The article does too.  It just links to the Graduation article because there is no article named commencement.  If you click on the link Commencement, it goes to a disambiguation page.  A reader of the college's article will see the term commencement just as the college uses.

message: Info and invitation to MHC. Women in Red has a drive during March to create and improve articles on women alumni of universities. International Women's Day is on March 8th and we invite others to mirror the event in the UK in Cambridge. Please sign up or ask for help at Women in Red. Hope you can make it. We have tools that will allow you to find missing women alumni from MHC or any other university. We are interested in editors who want to work in any language.

message: Elaine Chao was removed as a notable person by an anonymous user with no explanation.  I believe she meets the criteria for notability, and with no explanation as to the removal, I've reverted the change. Golden122306 (talk) 16:23, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
