To-do list for Cornell University Glee Club: edit  · history  · watch  · refresh


Here are some tasks you can do:

    The list of alums seems pretty excessive to me, particularly since so few of them are truly notable

    Contents

    [edit] citations?

    I just did a big edit at the Harvard Glee Club page, mostly to bring the article up to wikipedia standards involving citing sources. I notice that sources seem to be an issue for this article. I won't be a WP:DICK and put a tag at the top, but if someone has some time, it might be nice to dig up sources for some of the more obscure claims on this page.--Dmz5 06:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

    I'm referring mostly to the "acheivements" section, by the way--Dmz5 06:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
    Okay, I couldn't resist taking down the last three bits of the section - I'm pretty sure those are not verifiable claims - but sources surely exist for all the other stuff?--Dmz5 08:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Edits

    So, it seems that this article isn't particularly closely maintained, so I figured I would just be bold and make some changes. I cut down the enormous list of alums (most of whom were not notable) and added the fact tag to the acheivements section, also deleted random "poem" that mentions the glee club. I am tempted to also whittle down the list of Cornell songs and premiers by the group to things by notable composers, but that might be a little much for now. It would be great if all these college singing articles could eventually be made to be "good articles" by wikipedia standards and not just repositories for promotional material and unsourced historical claims.--Dmz5 21:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

    Changed my mind about the song premieres and cut a few out--Dmz5 21:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Cornell Songs

    No one has really come forward to suggest how to improve the big list of Cornell Songs. I am considering spinning it off into a new article, especially as it doesn't particularly relate to the Glee Club just because they still sing some of them.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 01:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
