[edit] Observatory
If anyone from here can tell me where to find the location of white water's observatory, I'm trying to create a stub about it. Please contact my talk page--Rayc 01:14, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
The UW-Whitewater Observatory is located on the site of Old Main Hall, approximately where the bell tower stood. On a separate issue: is there a reason why there is a photo of a UW-Madison runner on the page? Doesn't anyone connected with the University have a photo of the Alumni Building or something that they can put up here? jwhouk 02:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photo request
My previous inclusion of a "photo request" template was reverted; I don't want to start a revert war but... it's a physically extant university. It has buildings. There's no photo of them in the article. A really good article about such a university would include pictures of those buildings. Therefore a photograph is requested. It's in Wisconsin. Therefore it's a requested photograph in Wisconsin. I fail to see that this is disruptive - there are users in Wisconsin who are trying to improve photographic coverage of Wisconsin articles and that category is useful for them (at least one person has told me so, at any rate). TheGrappler 01:20, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- I reverted because TheGrappler had placed numerous photo requests in random cities, townships, etc. throughout Wisconsin with no rationale. I later found TheGrappler did it throughtout the world. Requesting a picture of a University or a structure makes much more sense than some small township in a random location just to prove a point I think all wikipedians should post an image of their part of the world. I did. Royalbroil 02:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- I will be able to work on getting some photos myself in the next couple weeks. I will try to get the observatory, log cabin, and perhaps some other pictures of the campus. Hopefully that will be suffice. If you have any other recommendations, let me know, thanks. Godlvall2 21:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- I got a couple pictures up. I'll get some of specific halls that are mentioned in the article. Please be patient. Any other comments pleas let me know.Godlvall2 16:44, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the pics! I have removed the photo request. Royalbroil 01:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hyer Hall Bust
There is bust that honors the veterans of WWI outside Hyer Hall. It appears to be President Abraham Lincoln but this makes no sense. Is this true and if it is why? HotOne121 02:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Haunted
I have heard several stories about various legends which are perhaps true or untrue to varying degrees. It might be interesting to see some stuff on this. HotOne121 02:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, since ghosts don't exist I would consider all of the legends to be "untrue". The 3 cemeteries in town do make an isosceles triangle. The barbed wire fence surrounding the witches tower is turned inward as to keep something in, rather than to keep people out. Whitewater was a key city in the founding of spiritualism. and there's a lot of underground tunnels which are remnants of the underground railroad and are kind of spooky. That being said, most of that relates to the city of whitewater, not the university. I also don't know if an encyclopedia is the best place for ghost stories. Zervas 03:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Zervas. A source would have to be very reliable like the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel before even considering its inclusion, and even then should be confined to a small amount of text. Royalbroil 01:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Uww-logo 100.gif
Image:Uww-logo 100.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 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.
