message: Removing "The team plays its home games on Les Prince Field, located on campus" since they have since dug up the field to make way for the new sports complex.
Added the reference to the Iron Ring Clock to the Students section, as I am a fan of the clock.  Burtonpe 01:34, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

message: From time to time I notice it mentioned in the write-up for McMaster that X residence was the inspiration for the movie Animal House (an element of folklore at McMaster). Such comments should not be permitted without citation considering it is well note that Christopher Miller was the writer and creator of the movie concept (Belushi - A Biography, by Judith Pisano & Tanner Colby). I am unaware of any evidence that would support a McMaster residence inspiration thesis. --Labattblueboy 16:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Strangely enough, it might still be notable - certainly it's at least an urban legend, and quite "well-known", even though it's not true.  A cite showing that it's "known" - regardless of its truth - could suffice.  --Hamiltonian 16:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Please note that the images taken from the McMaster University web site are not really allowed under Wikipedia's image use policy. They may be free to use for noncommercial purposes, but that's not good enough (see ). These should be easily replaceable, however, by someone who can get to the campus with a camera to take photos. These photos must then be licensed under the GFDL, a Creative Commons License, or released to the public domain. Thanks. howcheng  {chat} 03:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: i tried to figure out how to change the mcmaster template (if that's what you call it) at the bottom of the page but to no avail.

replies: text: You should create an article about the program first, then add it to the template.  However, you would also need to create a user account (which is generally a good idea anyway) before you can create articles.  However, you may also consider whether the subject can be adequately covered in the main University article - I see you already added a nice blurb.  Generally, the process is to break out content into new articles if the main article grows too long and there is sufficient information on the secondary subject to warrant a separate article.  There are also the notability guidelines to consider.  I will add some other useful links to your talk page.--Kubigula (talk) 21:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Any sources for any of this stuff??  I was an Eng student at Mac, and to be honest some of what's claimed there doesn't surprise me (in my day however it was us who was vandalising the arts buildings), but claims of rape then celebratory keggers I think deserve a reference.  Anyone??
Also, the Eng paper is/was called the plumbline, not pipeline...that I'm going to change, as I have a few dozen old issues to refer to...

thread_title: File:Nuclear reactor.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: Illegal logging was conducted by Haitian illegals to put up a parking lot on Old Growth Forest containing a sacred Indian burial ground of the First Nations. The ancient cemetery was vandalized by Obamamerkelbushies (Harper). Many of the species in the wood have gone extinct. The forest was served by a canal which connected to the Thames. Historic railways and tramways in the forest were also vandalized, destroyed and the heritage railway stations demolished. All of the neighbouring region was also vandalized to the extreme. Haitians raped the beavers and drove out the bobcat. The remaining forest floor was attacked with Agent Orange and crack. Villagers were forced from their homes to put up a chemical car wash. Politicians guilty of failing to protect the woodland have been sentenced to death. First Nations have agreed that reforestation is the best solution.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.114.79.65 (talk) 03:15, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
