[edit] Disambiguation
I don't know what the rest of you think but I don't think we need to preface every single article title with "North Carolina State University". I can see some articles needing it like College of Engineering, etc., but "North Carolina State University Memorial Bell Tower" is excessive wording and could be considered a neologism... not to mention it's bad for the Pipe Trick. To solve this, I think we should disambiguate most articles (if necessary at all) with "... (NC State)". This is similar to what (hate to say it) UNC-CH does; case in point: Student Television (UNC Chapel Hill). In some cases its may be good to start with "NCSU ...". An article entitled "NCSU Main Campus" might be much more managable and recognizable than "North Carolina State University Main Campus". (The NCSU acronymn can be spelled out in the article body) Remember we're going for common names... and sometimes official names, not madeup names. --TinMan 21:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reactor
Hey, I think I got a good article going now for the nuclear reactor on north campus. Please have a look and help things get linked more.
One thing I would like added that I haven't done is a picture of the building or the smokestack from the outside, so I'll leave this up to someone else to do b/c I don't know many of the technicalties of taking pictures from the NCSU building web pages and putting them directly on wikipedia.theanphibian 16:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Category for NCSU Alumni
I just added a category named [[Category:North Carolina State University alumni]]. I added it to the articles of several of the alumni on the List of North Carolina State University people page. Feel free to add this to Wikipedia articles of other State alumni. B Pete 18:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
