- "Biographies of living people should be written responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. While a strategy of eventualism may apply to other subject areas, badly written biographies of living persons should be stubbed or deleted.
The article should document, in a non-partisan manner, what reliable third party sources have published about the subject and, in some circumstances, what the subject may have published about themselves. The writing style should be neutral, factual, and understated, avoiding both a sympathetic point of view and an advocacy journalism point of view."
Here are three facts:
The puzzle is that the Army sometimes does authorize officers to get a masters degree while on active duty (the officer must commit to staying in the Army for additional years). I'm probably reading too much into this, however, by thinking that Wakim is trying to imply that he was so favorted - but I'd appreciate anyone else's feedback. Maybe Wakim was saying that the Army helped pay his tuition. [3] John Broughton 13:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually the Masters programs at the Extension School are not as easy as you think. Less than half of the people that attempt the program actually finish the degree. To apply you have to complete three courses with a B or higher. The thesis seminar requirement weeds people out and less than half remain to be accepted into the program and even less than those admitted go to finish the ALM. It may be a part time Harvard program, but the standards are still pretty high.
Read that again; the quotation either should have a "(sic)" or be corrected. As is, it looks like, previously unbeknownst to me, I'm a Gulf War veteran! Cool! -- BDD 04:20, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
The Raw Story link thats attached to his education piece is wrong. It states that Harvard Extension is not a part of Harvard University but only affiliated with it. Harvard Extension is a part of the University and a part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. It is just a division of the Continuing Education School. Secondly, the program is not wholly open enrollement. You cannot just sign up for a class and get a degree. You have to take 3 classes and get a B- average (2.5) GPA. Even then that is just the minimum and usually a 3.0 is more of a shoe in. Also, after completing the three classes plus a writing extensive course, you then formally apply to the program, (i.e. resume, application, essays, letter of rec.) while admissions reviews your application. So the notion that it's a fully open enrollement program is way off the mark. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.64.14.149 ( talk) 00:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
