Talk:List of University of Edinburgh people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shouldn't this list be only alumni? If one wants a list of faculty, shouldn't that be at a list entitled thus? --Bob 07:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Alumnus says, "Recently, the definition of "alumni" has expanded to include people who have departed from any kind of organization or program." This list uses this expanded reading. — Michael Fourman 05:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Then it should be seperated out into actual alumni and former staff. --Bob 15:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess you mean "graduates and former staff". I dont think that would make the article easier to digest, and these categories overlap. Each linked entry makes the status clear. I will add a clarification at head of article — Michael Fourman 20:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rimington large.jpg

Image:Rimington large.jpg 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.
