[edit] Red-link alums

I removed all the red-linked individuals from this page. I realize that this meant deleting good information, but it cleans up the page and keeps in manageable. I note the edit here so that the good information contained therein may not be lost, if some of these red-linkers eventually do get articles. Dylan 10:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Kane5187, you said "it's David H. Stern that we want," but the Jewish theologian David H. Stern who has a Wikipedia article is evidently not a Dartmouth alum, so do we really want him? On the other hand, David Eli Stern, senior rabbi at Temple Emanu-El in Dallas, is a Dartmouth grad but has no Wikipedia article (which could mean Dylan wants him removed, but I've left him here for now).

[edit] I finished citing

all the entries -- man, that was tedious. Anyway, every single alumnus/alumna has a citation in which it is mentioned that s/he attended Dartmouth. Under the U.S. Members of Congress section, however, many are not cited individually, because this source (currently listed as endnote 37, the source for the statement "Over 164 Dartmouth graduates have served in the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives.") lists them all, and it would just clutter up the page to cite them all individually. Just wanted to let everyone know that those seemingly unsourced entries are indeed covered by a blanket citation. Dylan 06:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

-- No longer relevant - they're all cited. Dylan 22:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] notable alumni

I deleted two entries for young alumni, since they do not appear to have gained widespread notoriety. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IRtak (talk • contribs) 17:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

As long as they have an article and are a Dartmouth alumna / alumnus, they belong on this list. If you don't think they are notable enough to warrant Wikipedia articles, you can nominate them for deletion; but until they are deleted, they should stay. Dylan 17:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Richard Parker, the economist and journalist from Harvard, was not Class of 1930. He graduated in 60s. I have corrected this. Also: What is ref. - in Note 45 - to U. of Chicago obituary?... This page does not come up for me now - nor could I find it via Wayback Machine. Was there another notable Richard Parker who graduated from Dartmouth?... The Parker disambiguation page does not include any such candidates. userX 16:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
