[edit] Photo
No offense to Mr.Reynolds, but there must be a better image for this article.--Wiki11790 (talk) 07:22, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
Hi,
Over the last week or two, there seems to have been a clean up of all external links - linking to various student groups on campus.
Although i understand that Wikipedia is NOT a place to advertise for any organization, I DO think that there should be some information and links - at least external - to different student, ethnic, or religious groups on campus, so that someone seeking to obtain information on any of the above matters should be able to do so.
I think that all of the ethnic, religious and social student groups on campus are a very important component to student life at Binghamton University and therefore I think that they should be presented to someone seeking info on BU.
Therefore, I ask that the external links be allowed back on to this site and that the ones heading this webpage allow them back on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lubavitch (talk • contribs) 17:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is NOT a directory of links for the university. That is what the university's web site is for, and other web directories. As per the MOS and the WP:EL guideline, the only link that is needed for a university article is the one for the official university site. The official school media outlets have also been allowed, for now, as they can provide additional, current information about the school not available in the article. So no, the links do not belong.

[edit] Co-op
The Binghamton University Food Co-Op provides a valuable service to the community, to both students and Binghamton residents. I don't understand how whoever suggested removing it from the BInghamton University wiki doesn't see this- we provide organic foods, and essentially all health food to people who don't want to support corporations and want to support local growers. You have to be very ignorant to think it doesn't provide a valuable service. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkamins1 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Just because it is important or valuable does not mean it is notable. Wikipedia has specific guidelines about what is considered notable, and the food co-op doesn't really fall on it. Don't take it as a personal attack. The entire student group listing needs to be reviewed and cleaned up; this article is a bit of a mess. 149.125.220.205 (talk) 05:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Student groups
I removed several student groups because they don't really seem to be notable; beyond the group's own web page there's little information for most of them. With 160 student groups on campus, we can't really include many groups unless they have significant third party sources per WP:NOTE Wsanders (talk) 05:57, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- On this I, and the University MOS, agree. Unfortunately, the group members tend to like to come back and readd their groups, so be prepared to have it turn up on your watchlist regularly. :P Collectonian (talk) 06:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Notable Alumni
Is there someone who would like to change around the notable alumni section so that it is prose? See [[1]] for a good example of an alumni section. Also, we should probably consider whether all of the alumni listed pass WP:NOTE Wsanders (talk) 18:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Events Center Merger
I don't think the Events center page should be merged. All other America East Basketball facilities have their own page. 13:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- And they are all being deleted, slowly but surely, where they can not establish individual notability. SUNY's can not and needs to be merged. Collectonian (talk) 14:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
