To-do list for History of Georgia Tech:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Here are some tasks you can do:

Verify: Ramblin' Memories and the Tech Timeline may prove useful. Add this. Add the cite templates to existing citations. ({{cite web}}, {{cite book}}, {{cite news}} etc)
Cleanup: According to the timeline, the first woman at Tech was actually a School of Commerce student in the '20s. We should probably mention that. The later date (the one they use in "50 years of women at Tech") was when women were officially allowed.
Expand:
- If there are fewer paragraphs than presidents during a time period, then expand that section accordingly.
- The bit on the 1996 Summer Olympics could use more text. Look here for info.
- Copy information from The Technique#History to this article.
- Expand the bit on desegregation, using information from this article. There's enough there for at least a paragraph. Once it's been expanded to a full paragraph, that article has an image we could plausibly borrow under fair use, as it documents a historic event.
  - TIME article, picture 1, picture 2, picture 3, picture 4, picture 5, I'm sure there's more where that came from.
- Add information from these Technique articles:
  - Baucom, Chris. "Master Plan sets goals for future", The Technique, 1999-01-22. Retrieved on March 16, 2007.
  - Webb, Chris. "Hemphill’s heyday ended with westward campus growth", The Technique, 2003-03-14. Retrieved on March 16, 2007.
  - Cuneo, Joshua. "Female faculty, staff offer professional perspectives", 2003-04-11. Retrieved on March 17, 2007.

[edit] User subpage

Why is this a user subpage, and not a main namespace article? ----Rodzilla (talk) 06:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The rationale for using a user subpage is that it serves as a place to develop text that isn't not mature or stable enough to be a mainspace article. Also, once this history article is fleshed out, I'd like a summary of the expanded article to replace the contents of Georgia Institute of Technology#History. I'm leaving the "readyness" up to MaxVeers more than anything, as it is his user subpage. Make sense? —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 07:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Or more simply, we could move it to the mainspace. We just don't want to yet. :p —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 07:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hammertime!

I think the page is mature enough for the mainspace. What do you guys think? I know it needs some serious expansion, but it's no longer the young section that it once was. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 21:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know...perhaps we should tick a few more things off the to-do list first. On that note, might I suggest a subsection about the history of women at Tech? There is a lot of specific information about the subject that is distinct from the rest of the timeline and doesn't particularly flow well with the rest of the text. For example, there is the info about the women at the school of business, then women being admitted, then actually being able to enroll in programs,the opening of dorms, then finally the issue of "tripling" in female dorms the 1980s (?) because more women were admitted than they had housing for.

Also, speaking of "flow," that's another reason I don't think it's quite ready...parts of it feel really choppy. I think some consideration for style should be made before it goes "live." LaMenta3 20:58, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

It's good enough to be a mainspace article after that last expansion. I'm moving it. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 17:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Amazing work! MaxVeers 15:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm especially proud of my paragraph on Crecine's institute reorganization :) —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 19:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

Spotted a sentence or two that needs an individual citation, but overall the article meets all the criteria for GA. Congratulations and good work. Mocko13 22:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
