Talk:Jon M. Huntsman School of Business/Archives/2015

Untitled

Good job on the article. It looks great!

I have to add, the images at the bottom look like stock photos the college uses for advertising, and I don't think it really adds anything. Now, a picture of the business building, students working on a specific / important / significant project, or even a picture of the Dean would be appropriate. Does that make sense? I don't necessarily have policy to back up my statement, I am just observing. Jhunt47 (talk) 09:37, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Jhunt47: Thank you for your comment. I'll work on obtaining photos that add to the article to swap out the images you say look like stock photos. Sterling.morris (talk) 11:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

External Links

This page is awash in external links, basically none of which are acceptable per our guidelines on external links. First, direct linking (where a word or phrase in the article itself directly links to a non-Wikipedia website) is very rarely acceptable. Second, we should not be providing a link for every different program, department, etc. In fact, in the Official links section of WP:EL, we are explicitly told to minimize the number of links. For an article like this, on a college, we probably only need one single link in an External link section, and that is to the college's main homepage. Since every other aspect of the college may be easily navigated to via that page, that is sufficient. Wikipedia articles do not exist to make it easy for people to learn about every aspect of a school, or to advertise the school's various programs. I've started to remove EL from the article, but all the rest need to come out, too. Anyone else is welcome to make the same changes, although I'll try to get back to it when I can.

Qwyrxian: Thanks for the feedback. It looks like all external links besides the Huntsman School website and campus map have been removed. Thank you for your help. Sterling.morris (talk) 11:57, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Copyright problems

This article was created with content taken from this pdf. Alterations have not effaced the infringement, but instead created a derivative work with sections still copied verbatim or with minimal alterations from that source. For example, the article says:

In 1918, the school became known as the School of Commerce and Business Administration (Evaluation Report, 1971). This and the other name changes reflect the growth that occurred during the first thirty years. The school then included five departments: Markets, Business Administration, Accounting, Political Science, and History.

Evidence that the school was attaining some prestige nationally was provided when the assistant dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration visited “to study the organization and methods of instruction in use in the U.A.C. School of Commerce and Business Administration and to work out plans for close cooperation between the Harvard Graduate School and the college” (Student Life, December 9, 1921).

In 1937, students in the School of Commerce and Business Administration could major in accounting, business administration, merchandising, secretarial science, agricultural economics and marketing, economics, political science, or sociology. However, the inclusion of the social sciences and agricultural economics in the business school waxed and waned through the years.

The source says:

In 1918 the School of Commerce became the School of Commerce and Business Administration under the direction of George B. Hendricks. The school then included five departments: Markets, Business Administration (a newly formed department headed by William L. Wanlass), Accounting, Political Science, and History.

Evidence that the school was attaining some prestige nationally was provided when the assistant dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration visited the college (USU) “to study the organization and methods of instruction in use in the U.A.C. School of Commerce and Business Administration and to work out plans for close cooperation between the Harvard Graduate School and the college” (Student Life, December 9, 1921).

....In 1937 students in the School of Commerce and Business Administration could major in accounting, business administration, merchandising, secretarial science, agricultural economics and marketing, economics, political science, or sociology. However, the inclusion of the social sciences and agricultural economics in the business school waxed and waned through the years.

This section needs to be rewritten or removed, unless permission is provided. I am searching the article for other copying. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

In that case, there's some sort of template we have to add (something that says that substantial portions came from another source); I'll look around for it later today. Also, I'll read through the section and possibly edit it down, in case it's too detailed or otherwise needs to be modified for our purposes. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:57, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Sterling.morris, and thanks, Qwyrxian. :) With the template in place on the article and the licensing notice on display, there should be no further questions about this content. I'll mark it resolved at the copyright problems board listing. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 10:51, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
