First thing, you need to specify Trinity College (Connecticut), given all the dozens of options at Trinity College, at least three of which are far better known. Long and new enough, seems neutral. Is a qpq needed? Oh, oh Earwig is 75% confident of copyvio from her college bio - see here. Considerable rewriting will be needed. Johnbod (talk) 19:54, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Johnbod: I changed the hook to Trinity College (Connecticut). In addition, within the article, I added that link the first time it was mentioned in each section. (With the exception of the first sentence -- it links to the correct Trinity, but it says "Hartford, Connecticut" right after it, so adding "(Connecticut)" seemed redundant.) I've also rewritten the portions of concern. Copyvio now shows "violation unlikely". Finally, I think I already did the QPQ, unless that's something different from what I understand. Above, you'll see I reviewed Al-Muhallab ibn Abi Sufra. Let me know if there are any other concerns. Thanks for reviewing! QuakerSquirrel (talk) 13:30, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- You should only link it once in the article (and not use the form with parentheses in text). Here, I'd use "Trinity College in Connecticut" or "Trinity College, Connecticut". Earwig now I think ok, although still picking up on this passage:
- "These demands include that she retract the club's approval, release a statement denouncing white supremacy and change the two-step process to approve clubs.
- The Churchill Club is a 10-member group that describes itself as “dedicated to the preservation, dissemination and extension of the Western moral and philosophical tradition." The club is the first campus chapter of the Churchill Institute, which was started by Gregory B. Smith, a Professor of Political Science at Trinity College. Smith drew criticism for referring to African-American, Asian-American, Latino, Muslim and Jewish culture houses on campus as “tribal enclaves.”".
