response: "[My father] told me he was 15 when he graduated from high school and 16 when he entered JHS [Johns Hopkins]...yes, must be 1938. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schmausschmaus (talk • contribs) 15:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Wendell Dunn
I got the graduation date from Wendell Dunn's daughter, Shelley Dunn Carda. I am now double checking with the rest of the family. Many thanks for your note.

STOP SAYING I'M VANDALIZING THE PAGE
The stuff I put on the BCC page was pure fact and nothing more, and it is notable enough to be included in the article, and there's no reason why it shouldn't. Quit reverting my edits, unless you plan to bring an administrator into it.Thx2005 00:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Info Box Change
Ur right the i should have consulted the discussion I was attempting to make the City info box consistent with all secondary schools I do believe that trumps the BCPSS project.
Also I have to questions or ideas regarding the page 1) I have been reading a lot of old literature specifically reports to the Board of Commissioners from the 1890's they refered to City thru out while it is no longer in use that does not provide reason to exclude it from use and it wouldnt be a bad tradition to reestablish
2)I think we need a new image or seal for the info box. Which do u prefer?
- Your note above isn't quite clear about what was referred to in the 1890's. Are saying the school was referred to as "the College"? If so, then I would simply say that reference should go in the history section of the page. The opening paragraph seems to be telling the readers what the school is currently called.
- Secondly, I know you love the school and so do I. There are many people out there who have contributed to this article and that is why the project was begun so we can discuss changes. I don't want to be critical, but you keep making major changes without getting a consensus. The recent removal of the "BCC07.jpg" from the info box is an example. I would rather see the school itself when you open this page rather than (with all due respect) Golem88991's ring. The "Cityring.jpg" is already being used in the project template, a clean image of the school is more appropriate for the info box. I don't unnderstand why you would want the ring instead of the great picture of the school (that you created) to be the first thing that the reader sees when looking up City?67knight·talk·19:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I would like to nominate this article for Good Article status in the near future. However, before that can happen a couple of key things need to be done to the article.
The academic section needs to be expanded.- Information about all sports at city college needs to be added.
- Gaps in the history of city college need to be filled in.
- Any major extracurricular activities not included need to be added.
- Any major topics not discussed need to be added
Citations need to conform to Wikipedia citation templates.- More and varying sources need to be added to the article.
If you could assist with any of these tasks it would be greatly appreciated. Golem88991 03:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

- I like the idea of moving to a table as opposed to a traditionally listing. It does seem to be easier to locate specific individuals and is also a better presentation of the info. Thanks for your work on this. Golem88991 13:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
It looks great!Marylandstater 16:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- Finished product looks excellent, with a little work on the citations (wikify), a few more images and completed dates of graduation, it could be nominated for a featured list! Marylandstater 23:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Great work on the list!!! I think this is a huge improvement over the way it use to be. My only comment is that I think we may want to remove the shading for political affiliation. My three reasons for this are as follows:
- The list is not inherently political, though there are politicians on the list that is not its primary function.
- The information is in many cases redundant, as there is also an indication in the individuals description of their political affiliation.
- This is a personal feeling, but aesthetically it is bizarre that some rows are shaded and some are not.
I do not want you to think that these comments are in anyway intended to suggest that I do not like the new format. To the contrary I think that this is an extreme improvement over what was there. I just think that this suggestion could further refine the list. Thank you for all your work on this. Golem88991 15:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- It does not need to be removed, I was just saying that it looks a little strange for the list to have the shading in some parts and then there is a break until the next shading. I simply wanted to discuss it as a possible improvement; I do not want to suggest that it needs to be changed. However, you have lead this effort so I will defer to your decision on the matter. And I do agree with you our primary concern should be sources and completing the table not aesthetics.
- With respect to adding more info, I do not really think it is necessary. Our primary concern with the list is how they were associated with City and what they did that is notable. The only other column I can think of adding would be one for pictures of the individuals, but that would make the effort nearly impossible, as it would be hard to find public domain photos of all these guys. Thanks again for your leadership on this. To think that we could have a featured list!!! That I never imagined, though we still have a lot of work ahead of us. Thanks, Golem88991 23:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
The names should be in alphabetical order; and should be the first item/category on the list. I have no problem doing it just want to know what you folks think. The current order is a bit confusing especially to those with no connection to school, and therefore no idea what catagory the notables are in b/c they have no idea who graduated from the school. Furthermore it suggests some roles are more important than others (i.e. US Senator over nobel prize winner, or US Congressman or state delegate) while the latter is commonly accepted I think alphabetical order ensures more fair exposure for all. So my suggestion is:
Alumnae(us)[in alphabetical order], Category, Notability, Year of Graduation.
Also I think the color scheme is a bit confusing, as it is designated for republicans and democrats to rehash Golem88991's point the page is by nature "not political". Perhaps we could designate colors for the categories (i.e. red for the arts, blue for politics and so on.) Or we could go with no colors at all but the fact that some are with and others without colors makes it confusing. But overall I am impressed with the efforts to improve this page we should be a featured list in no time. Please let me know what you think and whether you approve the suggestions--Bcc07 19:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks I have a better understanding of how the list works now...I think we may want to consider using the same style but dividing the lists into the subgroups (arts politics etc) much like this example List of Michigan State University people--Bcc07 00:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Bcc07, on this. I have been looking at the Michigan list and I think it is a good model to go by. I have read your response to Bcc07 about how with the full list it is easier to find people by name or by graduation year. I understand the argument, but I think the reality is that most people will go to list from the main article and be unfamiliar with the graduates of city college. It will be much easier for those individuals to have a page that is divided by category, so that they can see the different accomplishments in the different fields. Though, I know that the single list is divided by category it is much harder to see the divisions between the categories at first glance. If the tables are divided visually it is much easier to see the different categories. I also think that by dividing it into multiple tables there would be a reason to have the political shading because those sections that deal with politics would be separate from apolitical categories. Thanks, Golem88991 17:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- An addendum to my previous comment. I agree with you, I think the sortable feature is neat and I think even if we do divide the table into smaller tables we should still incorporate that feature. Golem88991 17:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Considering you did the bulk of the work, I consider your request to wait until the table is done more than fair. I will try to help with the completion of the least and I guess we will reassess the situation at that point. Either way the table ends up though, I think there is one thing we can borrow from the Michigan list and that is the separate column for references. What are your feelings on that?

BCC Football
This page is not necessary I think it should be deleted or changed to a City-Poly Footabll Game page. I have a couple concerns the first is that the BCC Football program is certainly not notable, and the info presented is not very extensive this is certainly not worthy of its own page. We could create a page for every single activity at City College at this rate, I think we both know that is unneccessary and certainly not the best use of wikipedia. My second and main concern is that this page was done unilaterally and without the consent of the wikiproject. You have bashed a few of my submissions for them being without your known consent, I would very much appreciate it if these "rules or courtesies" which u made me aware of were practiced by you. To Quote you:

AfD nomination of Baltimore City College Football
Pending list
Thanks. My feeling on the list is that as long as they attended they should be on there. If there is not indication that an individual attended city, then I agree with you he should be removed, as seems to be the case with Medairy and Goad. Golem88991 19:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Your recent vandalism
Are you kidding me? First off neither of those two people are rather notable. Secondly you act as if I have to notify you about any action I take on wikipedia point me to the rule that indicates that all action on this so called project goes through you. You act as if this project is about you, and like your editing your own page(which is illegitimate you know). This is not 67knight project so please stop attempting to lead where you are doing the least and being the most uncooperative. I would like to remind that the project was neither your idea nor work at putting together and keeping together. Moreover, when did you notify people about the addition of the BCC football page the idea was never bounced around. No consent was given by single member of the project. You have split this project apart congrats on your work. I especially like the addition of the confusing alumni page.--Bcc07 07:37, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
City Knights nationally ranked?
67knight, would you happen to know when the Knights have been nationally ranked, either by USA Today or some other reputable publication?
Also, can you check my user page out for a copy edit of the main extracurriculars section of the BCC main page? I'm just looking for some feedback and more specific info. Thanks. --WriterThesp77 20:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
