Is this original work? It reads like it was copied from a brochure. Kent Wang 12:39, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
I just added "The Marquette Gold" as the mascot. I'm not sure what they will call the actual mascot, but it seemed to me that it needed to be listed. ("To be decided" gave the impression that they still hadn't decided on a nickname at all.)
A better solution. Thanks.
Would Scott Walker (Milwaukee County Executive, candidate for Governor, Republican) truly be considred an alumnus? The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that he attended, but did not graduate.
(He got the "essence of a Marquette education" in his 3 1/2 years there, Walker says.)
scott walker is not an alumn. he may have attended marquette but he is not technically an alumnus.
Then why list Dwyane Wade so prominently?
At Marquette University, any student who has completed 24 hours of coursework is credited with 'alumni' status. A student does not have to graduate to be an alum of Marquette University. I verified this with the Marquette office of advancement this afternoon (2/27/07). With that in mind the citations next to Walker, Wade, Rondell Sheridan, and I think Tom Snyder (not a graduate either) are out of place. All of these folks are alumni in the eyes of the institution.
There is a difference between a straight Catholic university and a Jesuit university. Yes, Jesuit universities are Catholic ones, but they are different (squares are rectangles but rectangles aren't squares). At least at Saint Louis U they stressed this. -- Negative3 12:47, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
I think we need to make some sort of decisions about what external links should be listed in the article, instead of just adding and removing them back and forth every few days. I think we can all agree that the official university sites should be listed, including the official student newspaper. For reference, the Alexa rankings:
I'm not sure if we should set a minimum ranking, or look more at content, or what. If anyone knows what precidents at other similar pages may exist, that may help. Personally, I'd definitely get rid of Cracked Sidewalks and Campus Tavern, but I'm open to discussion on the others. If we can set some sort of standard or rule, then we won't have to go back and forth, which I think we can agree is not the best way to decide. Thanx! -- Maxamegalon2000 14:48, 23 January 2006 (UTC) Why single out Cracked Sidewalks and Campus Tavern? That's rather discriminatory, and follows no logical cause. Perhaps create an "official external links" category and then create a "fan sites" category or perhaps a "community links" category. That would offer the differentiation you crave without being whimsical.
Well, if you don't know much about Alexa's ratings methods why is that the litmus test for appearing on Wikipedia? Only sites that have registered with Alexa benefit from their ratings. Without registering, Alexa only shows Blogger.com affiliations for Cracked Sidewalks rather than any true read on where readers come and go from the site (which also brings the ranking into question). Cracked Sidewalks had not been registered there until this morning, though it takes weeks to fully integrate into their system. Regardless, a bit of investigation reveals that Cracked Sidewalks attracted more than 82,000 visitors in the last year, http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=sm9warriors&r=36 Given the specific/niche nature of the content on the site, its reasonable assume most of those visiting the site are part of the MU community. And traffic at this site is trending in the right direction -- readership is growing quickly. Apologies for the poor formating, I am not yet sure how to build the appropriate hotlink. As for Campus Tavern, the blogger there recently migrated his site from a different URL, which would eliminiate any historical reference and unfairly skew affiliative ratings. FWIW, Notre Dame has a 'fan site' category. But I like the notion of 'community links' if for no other reason than ensuring that official links are easily recognized
Pere Marquette Lecture Series Pere Marquette Lecture Series I wonder why this lecture series is non-notable. Not only are there major scholars represented, but the series is also published (which is unusual for a university lecture series). If anything, there should be a section of the article documenting this contribution of the university to the larger community. Freder1ck 00:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)Freder1ck
I'm no MU student, but I've never heard this phrase thrown about Milwaukee. Anyone have more examples of the so-called Marquette Mafia than simply Scott Walker, who is not an alumnus anyway? Otherwise, I think it should go as you could say the same for Wisconsin. -- PaddyM 17:36, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Could someone please verify that Marquette was in fact the only school to have a March written in its honor by Sousa. From the stories Dr. Contorno told in Band I seem to recall him saying that the Marquette University March was one of only a few marches Sousa wrote for colleges/universities. I could have heard wrong, but if another source besides the Marquette site can be found that would be more credible. Krocheck 08:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I was working on my user page the other day, and, having noticed that there was no Marquette University userbox, I went ahead and created one at Template:User Marquette. I figured I'd mention its existence here in case anyone was interested. I also created the companion category, Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Marquette University. The colors and font are correct, but if anyone wants to improve the photo part, go ahead. -- Maxa megalon 2000 20:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Wade SI Cover.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Someone keeps editing out UW Milwaukee as an athletic rival. What gives? You do know that Marquette does play OTHER sports besides men's basketball... And they're on this year's schedule. I want someone to disprove the idea that UWM is not a rival when the consensus is that they are. Evilfishytank 17:12, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Article missing info why was it named Marquette, again as usual on wiki —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.99.0.205 ( talk) 00:03, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Abbottsford was opened to first-year students for the 2006-2007 academic year. [3] — Johnl1479( talk) 03:48, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Firstly, I would like to give you all credit for maintaining an excellent Wikipedia article on Marquette University. I would like to consult you on adding what I think is a very crucial, yet missing, piece to the page.
I've created a page for Marquette University Special Collections and University Archives. I think that it would make an excellent link under Raynor-Memorial Library section. I think the archives contain a wealth of information, and would prove very useful not only to researchers who are interested in the materials that the archives contain, but also to users who are interested in the Tolkien manuscripts, or the work of Dorothy Day, or even those who are interested in how the university came to be what it is today.
Anyway I would deeply appreciate any comments you would have to offer, and I'm very open to suggestions. Thanks.

"communist witch hunter"? Really? No bias there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.107.207 ( talk) 17:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
An anonymous editor has a problem with my naming Cheryl Abbate in the "Controversies" section. I don't see what the problem is with it, since she's named in McAdams' blog post and also in an article in the student newspaper about the incident. It's not a secret. Anon pointed to WP:UNI/AG but I fail to see how that's relevant here.— Chowbok ☠ 00:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm comfortable labeling this a WP:BLP issue that demands that we not use this person's name since she is not notable except for this one incident. ElKevbo ( talk) 15:04, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
