[edit] Robert E. Cook
Robert E. Cook needs a disambiguation page (the link to Robert E. Cook goes to the wrong person).
More information is needed, for example, sports teams (Bears and Indians), notable faculty (if any!), notable alumni (again, if any!), etc..
- This page needs to shy away from references relevent only to those from the Allegheny region and avoid references to trivial bar fights relevent only to those in the Indiana, Pa region. Also, why does the section about Name Confusion contain information about a completely different school, namely, California University of Pennsylvania.
[edit] Location?
Why is the school listed as rural? 15k students in a suburban setting is hardly rural. Westminster is rural, its in the middle of amishland. DoomBringer 03:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- It is properly listed as "small town." Suburban is a place like Monroeville. --Hepcat748 (talk) 01:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Power Plant Pollution
The information in this section is preety much trivial information presented by a user who allways violates WP:POV, WP:POINT, and WP:NOT. All of the claims are unsourced, and show no to little relation to the university, other then the users point about their problems with the power plant. Unless sourc3ed and their can mbe shown that their is some kind of direct relationahip between the univerisy and the poweplant can be said then i have no problem with removing the entire section, on the basis of POV and NOT vios. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- The claim about the two smokestacks is idiotic. Only one of those is active, and the oncampus plant generates all of the university's power and steam needed. The claims about the Homer City plant is pretty biased, and I'm removing the "excessive" claim. DoomBringer (not signed in atm) 71.31.71.154 17:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Remove "See Also Homer City Plant"?
Give me a good reason why we should have a link to this other article about a power plant, when it is mentioned in passing and isn't related to the university in any way? Again, this is DoomBringer, but I'm too lazy to sign in at the moment. DoomBringer 17:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- I see no problem with removing it, the user was on some kind of campaing, as can be seen by the edit history. Feel free to remove it. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 07:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible usurpation of claim to the Indiana University name and article
Editors of this Indiana University of Pennsylvania article might want to join the debate over at Talk:Indiana University Bloomington where a proposal is afoot to usurp the Indiana University article to be substantially replaced with the current content of the Indiana University Bloomington article. The current Indiana University disambiguation page would be replaced by a Indiana University System article. The Indiana University System article would no longer be a polite correction/reminder redirect to the current Indiana University article. I have been vigorously defending the current set of articles and the current set of article titles. My A#1 main objection actually does not involve conflicts with Indiana University of Pennsylvania (although the dismantling of proper resolution of that ambiguity is among my lesser objections to the proposal), but rather the fact that there is no entity in reality named “Indiana University System” and that Wikipedia should not contrive a fictional name that is promulgated as purported fact. You Indiana University of Pennsylvania editors might be able to bring additional lines of reasoning to the table as well based upon your separate interests. —optikos 15:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
I'm a little unclear as to what images are able to be used. But if someone has a few photographs of campus or buildings that they took themselves, how about adding a few thumbnails? Things like the library, the Oak Grove, the stadium, one of the entrances, etc. I'm an alum living overseas, so the campus isn't accessible to me now; otherwise I'd do it.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:IUP logo.gif
Image:IUP logo.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
