Good heavens — are there no other faculty and alumnae of the University of Regina who have distinguised themselves? Masalai 07:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accredited Campion & Luther college courses?

The following text:

Campion and Luther colleges had been high schools offering junior college courses in affiliation with the University of Saskatchewan on the same basis as the old Regina College.

was changed by User:Masalai to:

Campion and Luther colleges had been high schools offering junior college courses in accredited by the University of Saskatchewan on the same basis as the old Regina College.

Now, as far as I know the term accreditation is reserved for a specific type of "authorisation" if you will, so it isn't just an adjective in the academic community but also a technical term. For example, the Faculty of Engineering offers accredited engineering degrees. This has special and specific meaning.

The reason I reverted the edit by Masalai is that not only was I unsure whether the change in meaning for this sentence was intended, but also because the grammar became incorrect with this change. Masalai, feel free to change the wording again but please provide a source showing that Campion and Luther college courses are accredited. Alternatively, an arguement why the term accreditation has a different meaning in this context might suffice. BigNate37 16:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

Those of you interested, I created a userbox for U of R affiliated persons located at User:BigNate37/TM/UBX/UofR. It was created in such a way that it can be used by students, alumni, faculty members, and basically any other group that can fit the template to their purpose.

[edit] Notable faculty and alumni?

I contend that anyone in this list who does not have an article is probably not notable enough to be listed. Comments? BigNate37_(T) 02:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Which contemplates that the somewhat hit-and-miss operation of some Wikipedia devotee having written an article on such a person is a dispositive test of notability. This seems seems unlikely. On the other hand, the red links do suggest possible future articles. Masalai 09:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

True. In a perfect world those articles would not stick around were the subjects not notable, and then we'd remove the redlinks. In practice, that may take months or years to come about. I do wonder about the threshold of notability being used for these people I've never heard of before, though. BigNate37_(T) 14:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
