This article does not go in-depth enough.

[edit] Neutrality

I feel like certain sections read more like a brochure than a wikipedia article. I think we might need to edit some of the wording and make it more objective.

I agree. Many of the edits have been done anonymously from Ithaca College IP addresses (147.129.*.*) . However, IC outsourced its IT department to Apogee Telecom a few years ago, thus any student IPs read as Apogee addresses. Therefore, the edits are being made 1) by someone on a faculty or staff computer at the college who 2) wishes to remain anonymous in their non-objectivity. I challenge him/her/them to register and become non-anonymous, so we can discuss neutrality with him/her/them.

[edit] Alumni List

I have created a new page, List of Ithaca College People. On that page, I have put all of the names that were in the "noteable alumni and professors" section of the main Ithaca College page. I have also included the names that were in the Ithaca College alumni category.

There is now a link under the "noteable alumni and professors" heading to the List of Ithaca College People page. I think that the list of names on the main Ithaca College page should be either removed or significantly truncated. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

Good idea creating the separate page! If the article is truncated, I can't think of any good parameters. I'd say keep the CEOs/Presidents and the like, but i got to 15 and stopped counting. Therefore, perhaps keep Robert Iger, Rod Serling, and perhaps a couple of the other "Entertainment and Athletics" people that have articles, just to give people a taste. But I'm alright with removing the list altogether if that is the ultimate decision. Darry2385 02:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Since there have been no objections, I have removed most of the names from the list on this page. I left the names of people from a couple of different fields to give a brief overview. The full list still appears on the List of Ithaca College People, so no content has been lost. RSRScrooge 20:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think leaving an arbitrary number or set of particular people is reasonable. If a separate people list is maintained at List of Ithaca College People (a good idea), then all that's needed on the main Ithaca College page is the heading Alumni List as it exists now, and a listing of the categories e.g. Government, Business Executives, Media...etc, linked to the separate people page. i.e. no names on the main page, only categories. I have not made the changes. WassamattaU 16:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

I have created a userbox for Wikipedians who are students or alumni of Ithaca College:
Just put {{User Ithaca College}} on your user page.RSRScrooge 19:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
