Per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 March 21#Category:Missing middle or first names, Category:Missing middle or first names has been added to this talk page.—DomBot / ChiDom ^talk 09:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added his middle name (Paul), which may be discovered in connection with his doctoral thesis. I have also removed the category that relates to missing names.Tillander 10:44, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Education testimony

I'm not sure why the context for "dark ones" is inappropriate. I don't think it's "hid[ing]" to give the context of the statement and the controversy rather than a one-liner. I think someone edited with a POV, and I tried to make it neutral. Also, I'm not sure he actually offered an "apology" like the entry now states, which I had edited out earlier--his statement does not say it is an apology, even if some media sources characterize it as an apology. The best source is his actual statement. --Abidjan227 (talk) 16:18, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You must stop removing well-sourced material from the article. The Detroit News article explicitly states that Arnn apologized for calling non-white students "dark ones". — goethean 16:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know the Detroit News has characterized it as an "apology." But the original source (which is better than a secondary source) says that he said he is sorry if someone took offense, which, I think, is different. I'm not going to get in an edit war, but I think this is a poor choice. There's no context, and it relies on secondary rather than primary sources. But that's just me, I guess. --Abidjan227 (talk) 18:45, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SECONDARY: "Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from reliable secondary sources." — goethean 21:28, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The partial quotes provided were a POV hatchet job. A fuller and balanced story from the Huffington Post is now provided. (Also, the links to the school were dead.) – S. Rich (talk) 04:10, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed changes

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Please see the Reply section below for additional information about this request.

Dear Wikipedia community: In the interest of full transparency, I am a current employee at Hillsdale College and desire to improve the quality of pages related to it. Per Wikipedia’s guidelines related to neutrality and conflict of interest, I write to request the community’s assistance with adding details to Dr. Larry P. Arnn’s page, with the intent of providing more comprehensive information as reflected in featured articles of other college presidents.
I organized these edits within the existing structure of Dr. Arnn’s page, but added new sections for content that did not fit the current format (i.e., awards, personal life). A summary of my proposed edits: added sections on awards and personal life; updated board positions and added citations; added detail about Proposition 209 and his run for Congress; adjusted a quote to include a more easily verifiable source; and edited punctuation, included a publication year, and added sources in the bibliography section. I also removed the statement about the Founders Campaign, as I could not find a citation for it. Thank you for your consideration of this text.
