[edit] Observatory

If anyone from here can tell me where to find the location of white water's observatory, I'm trying to create a stub about it. Please contact my talk page--Rayc 01:14, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

The UW-Whitewater Observatory is located on the site of Old Main Hall, approximately where the bell tower stood. On a separate issue: is there a reason why there is a photo of a UW-Madison runner on the page? Doesn't anyone connected with the University have a photo of the Alumni Building or something that they can put up here? jwhouk 02:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lechner

Just wondering: though I have my personal opinions about it, why was the reference to Johnny Lechner removed from the "Notable Alumni" section? jwhouk 19:20, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo request

My previous inclusion of a "photo request" template was reverted; I don't want to start a revert war but... it's a physically extant university. It has buildings. There's no photo of them in the article. A really good article about such a university would include pictures of those buildings. Therefore a photograph is requested. It's in Wisconsin. Therefore it's a requested photograph in Wisconsin. I fail to see that this is disruptive - there are users in Wisconsin who are trying to improve photographic coverage of Wisconsin articles and that category is useful for them (at least one person has told me so, at any rate).

I reverted because TheGrappler had placed numerous photo requests in random cities, townships, etc. throughout Wisconsin with no rationale. I later found TheGrappler did it throughtout the world. Requesting a picture of a University or a structure makes much more sense than some small township in a random location just to prove a point I think all wikipedians should post an image of their part of the world. I did. Royalbroil 02:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
