1990: The U.S. Department of Justice files a discrimination lawsuit against Virginia Military Institute for its all-male admissions policy. 1993: The Virginia General Assembly approves development of VWIL to provide a separate but equal program for women that would allow VMI to remain all male. August 1995: The first VWIL cadets arrive at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton. June 1996: The U.S. Supreme Court rules VMI's all-male admissions policy unconstitutional.

With 1,191 students, Presbyterian will join Wofford (1,100 enrollment) among the smallest schools that play Division I football. Presbyterian also will join their Spartanburg neighbors in another area.

[edit] Personal Attacks

Personal attacks, particularly in edit notes, are not acceptable. Discuss your issues here in a mature manner or don't edit the page at all.

[edit] Signatures on Talk pages

It is proper Wikiquette to sign your posts on Talk pages. This is an essential aspect of communication here. It helps other users understand the progress and evolution of a dialog. Because of this necessity, Wikipedian developers created a very easy way to create signatures. To automatically sign your posts with a date-stamp, add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your message.

[edit] Peer review

You worked on the VMI article. I have posted the article, Virginia Military Institute, at Wikipedia:Peer review/Virginia Military Institute and would appreciate your comments.

[edit] Editing archives

You edited pagename NN times today. Please do not edit page archives - they are preserved for future reference only, not for discussion, as noted at the top of each archived page in bold letters. (see talk page etiquette). Thanks,

[edit] Blanking your own Talk page

Blanking your own Talk page is considered uncivil behavior. (see talk page etiquette). Please don't do it again. Thanks,

[edit] Please use Edit Summaries

Please remember to always provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy editing.

[edit] Marking edits as "Minor"

You are routinely marking your edits as "Minor". Please see Help:Minor edit for more details but in general any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it involves one word.

The distinction between major and minor edits is significant because users can decide to ignore minor edits when viewing recent changes; logged-in users can even set their preferences to not display them. No one wants to be fooled into ignoring a significant change to an article simply because it was marked "minor." So remember to consider the opinions of other editors when choosing this option. Thanks,
