[edit] Greta Van Susteren broadcaster and news analyst

Just a FYI, shes taking a beating in the commentaries because she is featuring the Aruba kidnapping story relentlessly. And getting a 60% jump in her ratings.... I'm not recommending putting analyst in quotes, but....

Just a FYI, shes taking a beating in the commentaries because she is featuring the Aruba kidnapping story relentlessly. And getting a 60% jump in her ratings.... I'm not recommending putting analyst in quotes, but..... Oh, and she's an attorney, isn't she. What kind of practice was it?Kyle Andrew Brown 22:04, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Former Students who never graduated??

So I'd like to include Fred Foster on here, the founder of Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC). He went to the UW, but never finished his degree due to his company taking off. Any suggestions on what to title the section? Ellieilluminate 17:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

There are others listed among alumni who did not complete their degrees. John Muir, for one. 69.129.128.19 15:36, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lindbergh

I just removed this from the Madison, Wisconsin page:

Charles A. Lindbergh entered a mechanical engineering program at the University of Wisconsin in 1920, did poorly, and dropped out to become a barnstormer.

If it's true, it's more detailed than what's on this list. Joshuardavis 01:51, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] System or campus?

I'm confused... is this a list of List of University of Wisconsin people or only "notable people associated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison" campus? Thanks! Sulfur 02:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I've moved this article to List of University of Wisconsin-Madison people. Miaers 21:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted to Re-include Kevin Barret

Kevin Barret is a notable figure, and he demonstrates something about the extent and also the limits of free speech and diversity of enquiry of this campus; his time here is at least a footnote in the history of UW-Madison. Since there are dead or retired people listed here on the basis of their notability, rather than their currency, the precedent seems clear. Clown in black and yellow 20:50, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jørgen Mads Clausen

I consider putting him on - is he sufficiently notable? Medico80 17:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:John Atanasoff.gif

Image:John Atanasoff.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 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 06:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
