Talk:School of Engineering and Applied Science (Columbia University)

message: The subheadings in the history section sound like advertisement for the school. This is supposed to be an encyclopedic entry. I vote we scrap the subheadings. The history section is not exceedingly long and so doesn't necessarily warrant them. What do others think? - BeardedPhysicist 05:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Subheadings

message: I think that info makes the article a bit more cluttered, if we look at other Universities' pages they don't often have so much detailed information on the first page. Might we add another page called "Departments of SEAS" (or something like that), and house that data there?
* I agree. The departments, programs and majors are a bit too much. All this information is surely available at the school's website. Summary paragraphs are all that is needed. Mat334 11:24, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Can we make sure to get the licenses for these images? It really looks like they were simply taken from a related website without permission. Perhaps somebody currently on campus can snap a few nice shots, especially it being summertime, and then donate the images to Wikipedia.
The recent changes are pretty good. I think we can still improve on the formatting of the page. I'm very happy to have that ugly heading about page merger gone from this page. I really don't think that we need separate articles for SEAS and the School of Mines since the latter's history is discussed in the SEAS article. BeardedPhysicist 16:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: We know that Columbia University played a key role at the start of the Manhattan Project, but can anybody confirm the involvement of the engineering school? BeardedPhysicist 17:20, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Manhattan Project

message: I think that it should be merged as it is very short and could fit in under a History section within the fu article. --ʀ6ʍɑʏ89 11:47, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I support the merging of the two articles. The School of Mines page should direct to the Fu Foundation SEAS page. Matan 21:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging School of Mines 

message: It seems scandalous that such a prestigious school as Columbia University has no text whatsoever, within Wikipedia--not even a "crumb"--devoted to the great copper miner, Henry Krumb, for whom the Henry Krumb School of Mines is named. Can someone begin a stub on him?

message: I'm tempted to delete the entire admission section, which is IMO is tripe written by someone who obviously goes there. The entire section is devoted to explaining why there is a public opinion that it is not as good as the actual school. Fu is a great school, but this article just makes it look desperate.

message: :Image:Columbia SEAS.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: I noticed this based on some statements in the first paragraph - The chemical engineering program is rated highly. Additionally, the admissions section seems like an ego booster for those that have attended. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.83.162.235 (talk) 19:31, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone over and addressed the POV issues in the admissions section (some here), but after looking through the article, there are is quite a bit of POV wording. I've tagged the article for now, but I may come back and revise some sections.—DMCer™ 04:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
