[edit] Re: neutrality

Please discuss the issue at the talk page of the article. Generally, it is better to edit the wording rather than to mass revert or delete.--Jiang 08:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Neutrality is an issue that deserves discerning. It involves reading what is on the line and what is in between the line. Berkeley was cited three to four times as an example here, along with its rankings. If the sole purpose were to compare public versus private, I could think of other ways to do so. Berkeley is a good institution. Don't get me wrong. But, that is not the contention here. I am afraid that many ranking citations are used to make the "richer" gets "richer" and the "poorer" gets "poorer" or to advance certain ulterior motives of the writer. --mcks

The motives of the writer do not matter. Only the content matters. But I'm fine with your latest edit of that article - good job! --Jiang 05:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jorge Cham

Please don't remove speedy delete tags (like {{db-bio}}) from your own articles. Even after editing this article to reflect notability, let an administrator who comes to look at the speedy delete decide whether to keep it or not. The article is much better now and should survive the deletion review no problem. -- dcclark (talk) 22:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Appreciate the help.--Mcks 22:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:1101961230 400.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:1101961230 400.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Public Ivies

Although I am not particularly fond of the source that was provided, for reasons I provided on the Verifiability policy talk page, there was a source provided that the original Public Ivies included the Cal system, not Berkeley[1].

Please feel free to find an opposing source -- otherwise, the other authority we have to consider goes with the Cal system edit, not Berkeley.

Also, presuming your edit parenthetical was referring to mine, query whether we should be including the 2000 listing from an appendix when the same authors provided a 2001 listing. I would certainly be fine with including both, but we need to make sure that both lists accurately reflect the individual sources (the prior version, which purported to have both lists, was surely incorrect, as it stated that the one list had 17 schools but then listed 19 schools). Also, in the 2000 appendix list, given that the book was called hidden ivies, were Greene & Greene putting their list of Public Ivies in an appendix? I.e., what was the title of that appendix table?
