List of Dartmouth College alumni[edit]

In great shape, dynamic but I feel very comprehensive, includes some pictures for flavor, extremely well-cited. Two notes before you view:

There's a citation for every single alumnus/na except for numerous federal legislators; those that seem to be unsourced are all covered by the this blanket list, which is the supporting citation for the statement "Over 164 Dartmouth graduates have served in the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives." The list was compiled in 1999; those federal legislators who took office after then have their own supporting citations.
I realize the intro is rather short by FLC standards, but I honestly can't think of legitimately relevant information that could be put there. It's simply a clear definition of what the list comprises; if you see this as a problem, please identify some specific information that could be included to expand it.

~~Oppose~~ - May want to consider putting the list in chart format, see List of Oregon State University people for an example. There are several other featured lists of people in chart format and we may want to have consistency in that regard, although I certainly don't think that should prevent it from being featured by itself. Also see what I did at list of OSU people for the lead to expand it, you may want to come up with something like that. My reasons for oppose are: What dictates the order of the TOC? You may want to make it in alphabetical order. Headers should not be wikilinked per the MOS. Image:Dartmouth Shield.png needs a fair use rationale to be used on the list. Image:WilliamJewettTucker.jpeg is untagged, it needs an appropriate tag. Image:DSouzal.jpg looks suspect. Looks like a promotional photo yet tagged as PD-self by an editor with very few contributions and who has several image deletion notices on his talk page. Image:Michael slive.jpg needs a fair use rationale. All references should use the cite web template. Biographies on IMDB are submitted by users and cannot be considered reliable sources. "Sports" section doesn't look very comprehensive. I realise Dartmouth isn't in a power conference but I am sure there are more sportspeople that could be included. There is an arbitrary white space under the "Members of the United States Congress" header, probably due to the image next to it that needs to be fixed. There should not be multiple wikilinks to the same article in the same section (i.e. linking to vermont multiple times in the members of US congress sections).

- Comment Thanks -- those are a ton of really good suggestions that I can use. I'm on it. Dylan 07:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I hope I didn't come off too strongly. The list is still better than 99% of alumni lists on Wikipedia. Also, for not wanting to link to the same source for all the congressmen, see what I did for all the football players on the OSU list. You can just assign the source a name and add that at the end of each person without much extra work. VegaDark 07:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment Oh, no, not at all, I was being sincere -- those are good suggestions and they're really going to help me improve the article. I'll do that for the congressmen. Dylan 07:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Support - All my comments have been addressed, very good work. I'm going to have to steal the "sort by" button at the title of columns for my list, that is a very nice feature. VegaDark 20:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. You should find a source for Josiah Bartlet, but all in all it looks good. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC) Support --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
