Talk:List of University of Washington people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rob Weller did not invent the wave. More than likely, he watched Krazy George invent the wave two weeks eariler at the American League Championship Series game on national television and took the idea to Seattle. Even if he didn't see the ALCS game, claiming to have invented something two weeks after someone else has already performed it in public is just silly. The University of Washington has claimed credit for over 20 years for something they didn't do. At best, they introduced the wave to American football audiences. Gentgeen 21:43, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
The link for William Hutchinson goes to a different person than is referenced here. darby 20:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Mark Crispin isn't faculty, he's staff. darby 18:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Faculty subdivision suggestion
I recommend that this article's section for UW faculty be divided into subsections. One reason: I don't care for the mixing of football coaches with the academics.
UCLA has a usable model at
or the University of Michigan can be used as a model:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_University_of_Michigan_faculty_and_staff
(Michigan's football coaches have a separate article from the academic staff). Any preferences? Or do people like the current setup?

I'm for it... are football coaches faculty? I'm under the impression that they are considered to be staff (distinct from faculty). Maybe we can make a staff section, and a sports subsection under that. darby 05:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Anon: Alexandrescu's does not merit mention in this article just because he wrote a marginal book on programming. Numerous graduate students from the university have made far more significant and lasting contributions.
