Mark McNaughton

I see you just added Rep. Mark back to the notable alumni list. Don't forget to take him down in January, as he is not seeking reelection and will be leaving office. --Captadam 05:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

He should be included on the list as he is a prominent elected official, and his ten years of service merit listing on the notable alumni list, even when he leaves office. Beno1983 23:58, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, then, just a reminder to make it say "former." --Captadam 00:55, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks for the input! --Beno1983 00:57, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Notable alumni

What's the criteria for notability for alumni? I have my doubts whether Toyota's VP of sales is notable ... maybe to Etown's business department, but not really to anybody else. --Captadam 21:31, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Using similar qualifications to List of Lehigh University alumni, Fortune 500 company vice presidents as well as academia are included. This is, however, open to interpretation. Beno1983 01:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Grammy Winner?

David Cullen is listed as a "Grammy award winning guitarist," but a search for "David Cullen" or even "Dave Cullen" at Grammy.com returns no past winners by this name. Even a search for "Cullen" only returns the work of music video director Mathew Cullen. Unless someone can provide a source for this, I'd suggest the entry be removed. 97.104.248.217 (talk) 18:53, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Regarding this, Cullen played on Henry Mancini: Pink Guitar, a "various artists" album. The page for Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album states this award was awarded "to James R. Jensen as the producer of the album." Are you a Grammy winner if you perform on a Grammy winning album? On Cullen's site (http://www.cullenguitar.com/bio), he does pressent himself as a Grammy winning guitarist. Cccooollliiinnn (talk) 01:48, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Assessment

I suggest expanding the History section. --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 00:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Etown Logo Background - 2.jpg

Image:Etown Logo Background - 2.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.

removal of trivia

All this stuff about when the college first had x sport is trivia, all is sourced to the college's website, so I've removed. I think we should remove all the trivia about the buildings, too. It's completely unsourced. —valereee (talk) 15:01, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Okay, no response so I've removed the list of buildings. —valereee (talk) 21:38, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
