Talk:City College of San Francisco

message: Why does it state that CCSF "is a two-year community college"? This perpetuates a myth that California Community Colleges are meant to be get in and get out degree mills, when the California Masterplan for Higher Education defines community colleges as institutions of lifelong learning for their greater communities? !KC!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.110.213.81 (talk) 11:58, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I added an infobox and cleaned up the "Acedemic leadership" section. A lot of the information in the later sections looks superfluous (e.g., the college's budget and the lists of presidents and chancellors).  22:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Acedemic leadership section cleanup 

message: I think that there are too many subheadings, which makes this article choppy.  Is it possible to integrate the various subtopics?  I think that there should be no less than 6 lines of text under each bold heading.  And is it possible to combine various topics?  For example, the last subheading "Of special note" is unnecessary because it contains only a single sentence; I think this sentence about Diego Rivera's mural should be placed in the end of the introductory paragraph, as this information fits in with what City College features, like panoramic views and such.
Should I go ahead and make these changes?--Bloody rox 16:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd like to add a picture soon of the Benjamin Bufano statue out in front.
There is a almost indentical statue out at Mondavi wineries.
Check out the picture on the Mondavi wiki.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.233.160 (talk • contribs) 04:53, 22 March 2007‎ (UTC)
::The proper spelling is Beniamino Bufano.  If you are going to post a picture, make sure it is a non copyrighted picture.  Do you have a wikipedia account?  I notice that you do not sign your posts on the Mondavi discussion page.Christopher Tanner, CCC 07:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the rather cumbersome acronym of LGBTTQQIWTFBBQ or whatever it was and just replaced it with Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender. That acronym is so obscure and burdensome someone felt the need to define it in the subheading. In my opinion, if an acronym is that obscure that 1). it requires in-line numeration and 2). does not have a wikipedia article it should not be used. I understand and appreciate the sentiment to include every conceivable sexual preference/orientation/fetish/practice outside of vanilla heterosexuality but if it's destroying the readability of the article it must be excised.

thread_title: Change to the GLBT section

message: This article looks like it has outdated data/figures in addition to no proper inline citation.  The reference section is more of a external links jumble.  I'll see if I can work on it when I get a chance. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 23:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "One of the huge problems that city college is facing is the budget cut. ..." etc. should realyl be its own "controversy" or "funding cut" section, not "History".
Or at very least, not the FIRST THING in the History section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.11.1.218 (talk) 20:52, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm not trying to own this article or prevent others from improving it but there have been a rash of very low-quality edits in the past couple of days that I have reverted to maintain the quality of this article.  Many of the edits didn't use proper grammar, were incomplete, added unnecessary information, or lacked supporting sources.  This is an encyclopedia used by millions of people, not a grade school project.  We welcome your help in improving this article but please ensure your additions use correct grammar, add useful content (the content guidelines for college and university articles may be informative), and use reliable sources.  If you need help, please post here in Talk! ElKevbo (talk) 01:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request -- Campus Life women 

message: This seems to be getting some grassroots coverage, e.g. mentioned by UAW 2865 in a recent email to members.  I came to Wikipedia to see what was going on.  But the amount of recentism in the leading section of the article made me question the credibility of the coverage, especially the lack of detail/debate about what is going on.  I looked back a bit in the edit history and it didn't look like vandalism - apparently the page has naturally evolved to its current state.  Nevertheless, what is presently here doesn't read like a good Wikipedia article.  I hope the active editors can make it better. 138.23.232.237 (talk) 00:53, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead does need some work but most of the material can just be moved to the body of the article where it will be fine.  Some of it can be trimmed and some of it is already in the body of the article, though, so it would mostly entail simply removing it from the lead.  Feel free to take a whack at it!

thread_title: Recentism

message: Currently this article includes the statement "CCSF is the largest junior and community college and the second largest collegiate institution overall in the United States".  In the Wikipedia articles which provide various college rankings by size, CCSF is large, making the top 20, but is no where near the largest in terms of enrollees (regardless of whether non-credit students are included).Penelope Gordon (talk) 10:55, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  More Qualifiers Needed In Size Statement? 

message: I removed one sentence:
* CCSF is the largest junior and community college and the second largest collegiate institution overall in the United States.
because the same website has the page Top Largest Colleges & Universities, which lists 13 colleges in the United States with more enrolled students than San Francisco City College: Miami Dade College (B), Houston Community College System (A), Lone Star College–Montgomery (A), Tarrant County College (A), Northern Virginia Community College (A), Austin Community College District (A), College of Southern Nevada (B), Valencia College (B), Broward College (B), Pima Community College (A), East Los Angeles College (A), Salt Lake Community College (A), American River College (A). (A=offers no degree higher than Associate; B=offers Bachelor's degree.) I believe those marked (A) qualify as junior and community colleges and the MatchCollege website is confused on the point or sloppy in its definitions. —Anomalocaris (talk) 05:55, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

message: User: Alertclub04 has made several recent attempts to add content about clubs. I consider this to be unencylopedic trivia.

replies: text: I agree, you need to add reliably sourced references. If we cannot find any WP:RS for these clubs, they are trivial and therefore unencylopedic. Jooojay (talk) 20:39, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
