To whoever is moderating this page: why doesn't this page show the school's seal or logo? I changed the page a while ago to include the seal instead of the website screenshot that is there currently, but it was just changed back to the screenshot of people swimming... ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.186.251 ( talk) 18:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Seal can be found here: http://www.coa.edu/assets/coa_seal-name-213px-w.png — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.254.68.229 ( talk) 22:30, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
It seems like this article is having a hard time developing into anything more than a couple of basic paragraphs. So I'd like to ask editors to refrain from deleting any more material from it, and instead seek out and cite some sources for further article development, and contribute some new material to grow the article. If some of the article's current (slim) content is really objectionable for some reason, please explain why in more detail here, before deleting it. -- Rbellin| Talk 19:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
On further review I see that a lot of apparently useful content has been deleted since this older version of the article, without any real explanation. Can anyone explain why that material doesn't belong in this article? I may restore it until an explanation can be provided. It's much preferable to fix problem material rather than simply remove it, whenever possible. -- Rbellin| Talk 22:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
I would agree that some useful content was deleted since the revision you mention. However: My goal, rather than to return to material created by one editor and then deleted by another was to first delete information that seemed extraneous - including a whole paragraph on other colleges and rather negative wording "students only receive B.A.'s in Human Ecology" - and then add sections on the various aspects of the school, as has been done with many other colleges. The previous material did have a few good sections, but as I am new to wikipedia i assumed that to simply change (and copy paste) from a previous version would be as easy as restoring and then changing.
In addition, the previous version you mention has a few sections that do not, it seems to me, deserve to be sections, such as the sustainability or notable alumni (because only one name is included and who knows who a "notable" alumna is.) 76.24.24.60 17:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm fine with reverting and then editing and adding content to that version. Can you do that? I also agree about what areas need adding. My issue with only is that only means "merely: and nothing more" while for example solely means "entirely." I was also the person who deleted the alternative. The school is alternative, but, for example if you look at the Hampshire College wiki you can see that their alternative nature is not mentioned until farther down in the article. 76.24.24.60 18:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
