Hey, I don't know how to leave a signature so sorry about that but saw . Those were college majors (have provided a link to the correct source), I don't know if it's against WP policy to list the majors the college offers (if it does, please feel free to let me know or undo it and I apologize) but wanted to give you the heads up. Anyway, it is dedicated to Criminal Justice, hence the college's name (John Jay College '''of Criminal Justice''').

== Johns Hopkins University article notable alumni ==
Best regards,
Hi,
A4Tech
I just noticed the flag you left about excessive use of images. I'm a little confused because I based my addition off existing articles about universities (see Harvard or Yale) that utilize the same type of gallery for notable alumni, with even more images (Harvard article uses 30 images, Yale uses 28), but none of those have been flagged for the same issue. Are those not flagged because you didn't notice, or is there something particular about my edits?
Thanks! <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 03:10, 9 January 2025 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:::I recommend collaborating with other editors to determine the 8-10 alumni whose photos should be included and limiting the image gallery to those people with a hidden note for editors pointing them to the Talk page discussion so more images aren't added without awareness of the discussion that has already taken place.

I don't believe links to a commercial seller of posters adds to this encyclopedia or that particular article. It appears to me to be a transparent ploy to simply gain more business. You're free to add the links back to the article - I won't delete them. I'm sure someone else will, though. And if I'm wrong and no one deletes them then I'm clearly in the minority and I'll happily live with that.

In any case, I appreciate you asking and your willingness to deal with this rationally and respectfully!


Why are you asking for the page to be deleted just because your edits were reverted. You had no reason to remove a large section of the page. Now removing the page is highly misguided! No wonder I neither donate or contribute to Misplaced Pages. Be kind! ] (]) 20:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

==Refs==
Hello, ElKevbo! I noticed that you were removing full date links from the <nowiki><ref>s</nowiki> in ]. The wiki-linking of full dates allows MediaWiki to recognize the link as a date; users can then adjust how the dates are viewed in his/her preferences. See ] for more information. Thus, would you mind not removing any more links and also adding wikilinks to dates to any further references that you add? This would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I don't know how to leave a signature so sorry about that but saw your edit. Those were college majors (have provided a link to the correct source), I don't know if it's against WP policy to list the majors the college offers (if it does, please feel free to let me know or undo it and I apologize) but wanted to give you the heads up.

Lower columbia college

Why did you delete my addition to this article. I go to this college and think its inappropriate for you to delete it. Schwajar000 (talk) 23:49, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I removed much of it because it was overly detailed and promotional.
You're welcome to open a discussion in the article's Talk page or ask for input at WT:UNI if you'd like opinions from other editors! ElKevbo (talk) 00:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

hello

Unfortunately those edits I rolled back were not constructive. The mobile user at issue has a long history of overlinking, adding unnecessary year ranges, etc. — and does not respond to messages.

I recommend collaborating with other editors to determine the 8-10 alumni whose photos should be included and limiting the image gallery to those people with a hidden note for editors pointing them to the Talk page discussion so more images aren't added without awareness of the discussion that has already taken place.
