Talk:University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication

Comments

This page is not done yet. Most of the information has been taken from the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication's website jcomm.uoregon.edu. I will rewrite it to make it not look like an advertisement. However, it is essential that people looking up the SOJC have accurate info, which I will provide.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mradi (talk • contribs) 20:29, August 26, 2008

Since you consider this article a work in progress, I'm tagging it as "under construction" (and commenting the other tags). In the future, you can do this yourself by adding the {{under-construction}} tag to the top of the article. (Also, if you will sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes [~~~~], it helps readers keep track of conversations.) chrylis (talk) 21:20, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Please make the needed changes soon, plus you need to provide Wikipedia defined reliable sources that are independent of the subject (i.e. not from the school) in order to assert notability. Failure to assert notability can lead to the article being deleted. Good luck. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I've stripped all the spammy parts and unexplained peacockery (what is the "Hall of Achievement"?) in order to avoid the risk of the whole thing being deleted. Do not restore anything which is not properly sourced to impartial outside sources. Don't use the subject's own website, a notoriously unreliable witness (since it is promotional in nature). --Orange Mike | Talk 19:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

FYI, I tried to clean this up. Check the page history. I stand by my statement that they need better copy editing classes, and have no interest in promoting the school, as I dropped out rather than deal with all the advertising majors... Katr67 (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

That's happened to a lot of once-outstanding J-schools. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability

The School of Journalism and communication is notable. It is over 100 years old and was one of the original 34 schools to be accredited by the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. It has thousands of students and has created 15 Pulitzer Prize Winners as well as other notable alumni. I've added references to each notable alumni listed in the Wikipedia article and will continue to add more relevant, referenced information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oregonian20 (talk • contribs) 16:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Fair, but article is too promotional Wiseoleman17 (talk) 00:07, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Article needs to be cleaned up

Or it will be deleted. It is a candidate to be deleted. Wiki is not for promoting work. It is said to be neutral and encyclopaedic. --24.85.227.103 (talk) 22:19, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Self-published sources

A little less than half these sources are self-published. I think they should be removed, per WP:SELFPUB. One could argue to leave the info per WP:ABOUTSELF, but the sources fail point 5, which states: "the article is not based primarily on such sources." Given the article is heavily relying on these sources at this point, it's obvious they should be removed. --Kbabej (talk) 20:09, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and removed most of the self-published sources, but left them for enrollment numbers and the school's different newspapers/projects. --Kbabej (talk) 20:22, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Article likely should be not have been deleted.

The article likely should not have been deleted. I think the information in the article is relevant to the history of Oregon, and U Oregon, the state's flagship university. 24.85.234.209 (talk) 00:09, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Just to add. I was looking at the Wiki pages of other prominent universities on the West Coast and it is common for their college and school pages to lack 3rd party sources 24.85.234.209 (talk) 23:33, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
