Ginsberg

I fixed the wiki link, but can anyone make it better? I mean, Allen Ginsberg should take one directly to his page, eh?

JesseRafe 07:25, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the Ginsberg link I believe. Yes, I was wondering the same thing: why isn't it taking us directly to his page. I had to erase the link completely. Save the page, and then add it again. I noticed that in the edit page on my Mozilla connection, but not on the Explorer connection, that there was a small mark ~> ` <~ like the one to the left. Somehow this was interfering with making a sound link. Christian Roess 16:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ginsberg has been removed from the page as he never set foot on the BMC campus. He is associated with the Black Mountain Poets due to his involvement with Olson's Black Mountain Review, not the college. Cpfffr (talk) 17:05, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

University of California, Santa Cruz

is University of California, Santa Cruz really considered an alternative school? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.5.227.86 (talk) 06:34, 23 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Location of college

I think it would be more fair to say that Black Mountain College was in Black Mountain rather than near Asheville. The area where it once was is now Camp Rockmont. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.144.91.161 (talk) 05:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Blackmountaincollege.jpg

Image:Blackmountaincollege.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 14:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Several of the current citation needed tags are unnecessary. Most, if not all, of this information is common knowledge.Josh a brewer (talk) 11:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did it close?

Shouldn't this be included? Just saying it had a short history and not explaining why leaves the reader wanting an explanation. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 22:49, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blackmountain as prototype

Black Mountain proved to be an important precursor to and prototype for many of the alternative colleges of today ranging from Naropa University, the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Marlboro College to Evergreen State College, Bennington College, Shimer College, Prescott College, Goddard College, and New College of Florida, among others...

Bennington started first, source Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.230.57.107 (talk) 00:39, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Black students

According to Anne Chesky Smith's Black Mountain College ISBN 9781467122351 the college refused to admit black students until 1944 - only after a vote which was far from unanimous - and housed the black staff in a separate building. Was this true of all colleges at the time, or was it specific to Black Mountain College? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:22, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ashley Pomeroy: It's been a while since this comment & you might have gotten an answer to your question already, but yes, racial segregation in schools was the norm for Southern US states prior to the Civil Rights era. It was ruled unconstitutional in 1954. There is a great article by Micah Wilford Wilkins that goes into a lot more detail about the integration of Black Mountain College: http://www.blackmountainstudiesjournal.org/volume6/6-17-micah-wilkins/ Cpfffr (talk) 16:30, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Major Article in today’s New York Times

Online today; to be published in their T Style magazine tomorrow. Lots of grist for the ‘article expansion mill’ — to distort an old agrarian saying. I’m just a copy editor, but if someone wants to incorporate this excellent RS into moving this article up the assessment ladder, I can provide a copy through the Times subscription gifting system if necessary. WP probably has a deal with the NYT, but —- as a newby user/editor —- I am offering to assist if appropriate. Cheers, Left Central (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
