[edit] Introduction Section

This needs editing to make it sound less like an ad for the college. It won't help the credibility of the school if it looks like the admissions department wrote the article. Sanstrian (talk) 21:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bell Tower

This should be updated "A new bell tower is also currently under construction at the corner of College Ave. and Spring Garden St., which is expected to be completed by the end of the 2004-2005 academic year." --Emplynx 03:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merovee Philosopher's Guilde

Does anyone know anything about the supposed Merovee Philosopher's Guilde?


I've researched this and the only references that I can find for it are on the Secret Societies page and its copies on various websites. It's merely listed as an example of a secret society.

I've attended UNCG for undergraduate and graduate school and have never heard of this supposed society. Does anyone have any evidence that this "secret" is a reality?

I am also very curious as to the origin of the the Secret Societies page here in Wiki land. It appears to have been copied to or from several websites.


FYI - for all of you playing at home, Merovee is better known as Merovech, Meroveus II, Merowig, etc. See Merowig.

Not much is known about him other than the legend that he is the offspring of a sea monster and a human. MiKellie 21:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Added "Residences" Section

Hi folks,

Just FYI, I added a new section "Residences", so that I'd have an appropriate place to put a link to Residential College that someone dropped inappropriately on the Residential colleges page. I'm leaving it to all the UNC-Greensboro fans to complete the list of residences, and to create a page for UNC-Greensboro's Residential College, University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Don't you just love helpful people who create more work for you to do? :-) JDLH | Talk 17:12, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Rock/The "Rawk"

This particular tradition is known on campus by both "The Rock" and "The Rawk" as seen in the UNCG Posting Policy. This can also be seen very easily and clearly if one were to search the UNCG website for the word "rawk." I added a mention of The Rock being "sometimes referred to as 'The Rawk'" to the article.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Uncg spartans.jpg

Image:Uncg spartans.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 Wikipedia articles 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 16:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Should be taken care of now. Fair use rationale template added to image with explanations, dispute tag removed. Wildyoda 03:00, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Microeconomics 201

The college has developed an educational video game, Microeconomics 201, as part of the ECON 201 course. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 08:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
