I question the NPOV status of the Siena College article. The qualification for software developer Michael Hoffman (in Notable Alumni) as "all around good guy" not only seems to be a betrayal of Wikipedia's NPOV status, but is subject to serious debate by other alumni.

I have met Michael Hoffman and he is one of the finest software engineers in the business. Not only is he is light years ahead of the industry he is also a super terrific guy.

Even if he is an "all around good guy", this is not what should go in an encyclopedia. Limit the bio to his occupation and concrete verifiable accomplishments.

Also, the list should be alphabetized.

Well, I dont care if he is a super terrific guy or not (and can you sign your name to that statement, "whoever" wrote it?), never met him, but even if I do and think he is, WHO ELSE CARES?! This is an encyclopedia and it doesnt deserve to be there, about ANYONE. Also- I'm against alphabetizing lists of famous people because it can put local celeberities at the top and very world-wide well knowns burried at the bottom or inbetween unnoticed. The ranking of who's better than who is subjective, but together we can figure something out, its wikipedia.

On another note- Siena's mailing address is Loudonville, but it is actually in Newtonville!!!!!! There is no question or "but" about it, it is in the very heart of NewtonvilleCamelbinky 19:44, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I may haved jumped the gun and alphabetized the list. This gives a good place to start if the ordering gets reshuffled. If it's undesirable, then the change can be whatever. Siena doesn't have that many world-known celebrities, most are local-known. Thatsnotpossible 04:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
