Talk:Boston University School of Law

message: Vote: Definitely merge these two. --Gopple 04:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did the merge, which effectively was a redirect of the other page Boston university school of law to here.  The two pages were almost exactly the same, except this page had slightly more information.  Strange parallel fork. --Deville (Talk) 03:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: The ip (136.167.97.39) has been doing quite a bit of editing. This IP resolves to "rafsmac.bc.edu". I've noticed some incorrect data on the page. Think, perhaps, our rival BC is messing with our image? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.34.22.168 (talk) 04:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  BC editing?? 

message: Will you folks PLEASE agree on whether the Law School is #24 or #24 in the US News and World Report listng?  It feels like this minor matter has been edited back and forth for several months.  Pzavon 16:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ranking oscillation 

message: The section on notable alumni is too long and full of too many distracting blue and red links.  How about making a separate article for notable alumni and give a link that forwards to that new article?  Below that link could be a reduced list of notable alumni consisting of "firsts" and those of national importance as opposed to regional or state importance.  It might open an argument over who to keep on the short list, but a link to the article with the full list would mitigate such strife.EECavazos 02:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I drafted the notable alumni article and summarized this article's section on notable alumni.  The summary could probably get cut by another third.EECavazos 22:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I suggest the following standard for keeping notable alumni in this article's summary.  The person have national importance either through political office or being a notable "first."EECavazos 22:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I suggest the following standard for leaving someone out of the notable alumni section.  Their importance or impact is limited to regional level like a governor or senator for New England or although they are a "first" such accomplishment is in a limited field like in the city level.  Also, if they are corollary contributors to some important event, then they should be kept out such as their name is not mentioned in the wikipedia article to which they are linked.EECavazos 22:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposal for Notable alumni section

message: I moved the rankings mention from the opening paragraph to the rankings section for two reasons.  First, BU Law is good enough not to need mentioning the rankings in the first place.  Second, the rankings section already exists and so the rankings should go there rather than in the introduction.  Otherwise we'll either have a redundancy or we'll have an empty or non-existent rankings section.EECavazos 02:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rankings

message: In order to make the article classy we should expand on some sections while keeping others somewhat muted.  
*Section that need expansion include History and Publications.  *Notable alumni summary probably shouldn't be expanded and possibly should be decreased further. 
*Rankings should be kept small because flashing rank around is like using Homer's make-up shotgun because it pretty much says "cheap," euphemastically speaking.
*Maybe we can mix the History section with some of the non-summary Notable alumni section to paint a picture of BU Law's past?

thread_title: Direction

message: First things first, all the more so since the article is an encyclopedic entry for a major law school: The tone is largely promotional, and large pieces of this have been copied from the school's website. Looks like these issues go back a long way, but a major copy edit is in order to avert legal concerns, then to make this neutral in tone. 99.12.243.171 (talk) 20:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
