Talk:Campus of Iowa State University

message: For ISU-centric people (not Henry Gilman or Carrie Chapman Catt) who are well known outside of ISU) I think a somewhat detailed biography is needed, much like what I've done with some of the first presidents but more (though not done with all of them).  Probably involves a trip to Special Collections and getting some of the bio stuff them.
* Year of birth & death
* Location of birth & death
* Education: college, year, major/degree
* Notable achievements: awards, roles/positions
* Family notes
If known outside of ISU (has its own wikipedia page or should have one) then a link should be sufficient with perhaps a condensed biography as it directly applies to ISU.
For buildings:
* Year constructed
* Original purposes if different from current
* Major changes/renovations
* Who it's named after should be evident from where it's located (subcategory of the person)
* Cost, uses, departments, etc.
* Did it replace another building? (e.g., Beardshear replaced Office Building)
* Was it originally named something and then renamed afterward (e.g., Frederiksen Court, Beardshear Hall, Agriculture Hall, Engineering Hall)
For streets:
* Location in Ames
* Perhaps a list of what's on the street if applicable (e.g., campustown is on Welch)
And pictures, pictures, pictures.  Come snow fall I'll take my camera around and shoot some of the buildings, and again come late spring/summer.

thread_title: Goals of this page

message: Heh, I just noticed this page is #487 on the list of longest pages. :) Cburnett 01:47, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
I'm going to work on splitting off a few of the more notable buildings at ISU into their own articles because this page is pretty massive at the moment. At this time, I'm planning on making articles about the Campanile, the Memorial Union, Stephens Auditorium, and perhaps a few more. Also, I noticed that Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum have their own articles already, so I'll add links to the full articles within this article. Etphonehome 01:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page length 

message: I agree with others that the page is way to long and steps need to be made to reduce the size.  I feel that there should be three steps to this: 
*First, create/ improve articles for individual buildings.  If building requires more than a paragraph to explain, it should probably have its own page.
*Second, redevelop the page into more of a list and less of an article with links to the information.  This could be done in a table format so that basic information could still be given for other lesser buildings.
*Last, for the few building that we can't justify their own page, but really need additional space, we could add it below the list.  I can't imagine more than 10 buildings falling into this category. This would only be done if needed
On a final note, I suggest renaming the page to Iowa State University Campus (if we keep landmarks) or at least Iowa State University buildings.  This would maintain similar naming format of other ISU pages.
*Sense no one else has updated this page in two years and no one else of note has updated the main page for a long time, I'm going to run with this by creating a complete list in a table format at the top of the page.  Below that I will leave additional building info that is important and remove the rest.  I believe that this will greatly reduce the size.--Jaretac (talk) 15:48, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page length 

message: I have started a draft for an article about the Memorial Union. Please take a look and let me know what you think.DUKyleXY (talk) 07:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Individual Building Articles 

message: I am wondering if it would be better to create a stand-alone list article for the full list of buildings on campus, and leave major buildings on the main article. Each major building should eventually have it's own main article, but this article would list a summary statement for each major building. DUKyleXY (talk) 18:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
