Rob Weller did not invent the wave. More than likely, he watched Krazy George invent the wave two weeks eariler at the American League Championship Series game on national television and took the idea to Seattle. Even if he didn't see the ALCS game, claiming to have invented something two weeks after someone else has already performed it in public is just silly. The University of Washington has claimed credit for over 20 years for something they didn't do. At best, they introduced the wave to American football audiences.

The link for William Hutchinson goes to a different person than is referenced here. darby 20:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Crispin isn't faculty, he's staff. darby 18:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Faculty subdivision suggestion

[edit]

I recommend that this article's section for UW faculty be divided into subsections. One reason: I don't care for the mixing of football coaches with the academics.

UCLA has a usable model at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_University_of_California%2C_Los_Angeles_people#Notable_UCLA_faculty

or the University of Michigan can be used as a model:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_University_of_Michigan_faculty_and_staff

(Michigan's football coaches have a separate article from the academic staff). Any preferences? Or do people like the current setup?

Myasuda 00:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I'm for it... are football coaches faculty? I'm under the impression that they are considered to be staff (distinct from faculty). Maybe we can make a staff section, and a sports subsection under that. darby 05:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Anon: Alexandrescu's does not merit mention in this article just because he wrote a marginal book on programming. Numerous graduate students from the university have made far more significant and lasting contributions.

I've replaced all of the copyrighted images on this page with others that are either in the public domain or under free licenses. For a list like this, there's really no need to use copyrighted images; see our fair use policy for more information. If more pictures are desired, Image:Tom lantos.jpg or Image:Lynn Woolsey.jpg; I'm sure there are more out there. Chick Bowen 06:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Authors from 'Top 100 Books by UW Authors'

[edit]

I'm thinking about removing the section Authors from 'Top 100 Books by UW Authors' from the article and dispersing most (perhaps all) of the authors in that list to appropriate sections in the article. This section was created following a Columns article that came out a few months ago. I spent some time cleaning up typos and other transcription errors made by the editor that introduced that section, but I had some misgivings about the section even then. My primary objection is the redundancy that this section creates for many list members -- that is, some of the list members are now mentioned twice in the article. Also, membership in this list does not (in my opinion) imply that they meet the Wikipedia threshold for notability. This is evidenced by the number of entries without corresponding articles. Anyhow, I'd like to hear how other's feel about this proposal. Myasuda 14:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't receive any objections, so I'm going to begin removing the section Authors from 'Top 100 Books by UW Authors' in stages. I'll preserve any entries that don't wind up in other categories on this discusson page. Myasuda 17:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've placed the remainder of the list below for reference (for the complete list, see http://www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/dec06/content/view/12/1/ ). Those who are interested can transfer some of these entries to appropriate categories in the article (please remove them from this list as you do so).

Selected by a committee of 14 faculty, alumni and book publishing professionals in 2006[1]. If no class year is noted, the author is a UW faculty member.

Lynn Woolsey

[edit]

Why is it important to note that Lynn Woolsey was a welfare recipient? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheUnknown285 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Murderers

[edit]

Is it appropriate to highlight Ted Bundy and Amanda Knox in a page otherwise dedicated to academic or athletic achievements? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.143.244.34 (talk) 13:35, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Social science and humanities

[edit]

Why is this a separate category, rather than being subsumed under "Academic administration and teaching"? Hong12kong (talk) 23:10, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fouad Ajami

[edit]

Fouad Ajami (1969, 1973) is listed under "Politics," but the description given of him there indicates that he is an academic: "Director of the Middle East Studies Program at Johns Hopkins University." If you click on the link that takes you to his Wikipedia entry, everything confirms that he is an academic, not a politician, except perhaps one subsection, entitled "Government": "Ajami has been an advisor to United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as well as a friend and colleague of Paul Wolfowitz." If this makes him a politician, perhaps that should be his description in the "Politics" section; but it seems to me that academics often advise politicians without becoming politicians themselves; and who he's friends with should have no effect on his status as an academic either. Condi Rice was an academic who was officially appointed to a political post, and performed her political functions very much in the public eye under Bush 43, after which she again became an academic; but from the evidence given I think Fouad Ajami should be listed under "Academic administration and teaching."

Removed "Art and architecture" Section

[edit]

A section for art and the humanities already exists.

Bruce Lee

[edit]

I've added a photo of Bruce Lee to the page. (ref: http://www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/dec99/j_o.html) Bennylin (talk) 08:42, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
