Re: My pulling the page as a copyvio: No great loss, as the page is just the CCA's own About page. Too much advertising. It could easily be rephrased and NPOVed to be a valid article (although a few claims like "largest" would need some investigation). Alan De Smet 17:18, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] New version of entry

I've posted a new version of the CCA entry on the temp page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cca logo whitebg.gif

Image:Cca logo whitebg.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The sections describing the academic programs (Undergraduate programs & Graduate programs) both still read as if they were lifted verbatim from the college's catalog. Apart from being plagiarism, this makes for a quite amateurish "encyclopedia" page for the school and should be paraphrased (as well as cut down in size).

I've tagged these sections with {{advert}} to expedite changes. +ILike2BeAnonymous (talk) 02:57, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
