The Editors bulletin board is a place for the community of WikiCU contributors to leave notes and messages of interest or relevance to community in general. Check in regularly. You can also add the page to your watchlist by clicking on the drop-arrow next to the Read/Edit/View History tabs and selecting "Watch."

Note: New notes should be placed at the top of the page, not the the bottom.

Thoughts on cataloging student websites

So Columbia students have a history of starting websites for the columbia community. A handful have survived more than a few years (CULPA being the great grand-daddy, and at this point I'd even put WikiCU in that category. It's been just over 6 years and we're not dead yet); most have died. Of those that died, some had an impact on campus life (CUCommunity, and Dogears.net come to mind, and CUSnacks featured prominently in a Varsity Show plot), while others seem to come and go without ever getting much traction (Hungrycu seems to have fallen into that crack. CampusPlaybook? PostATime? Buzzable? CUEats? CampusBoxOffice? Columbia Classes?) I guess what I'm getting at is whether each and every one of these projects deserves it own page (Notability!), which is the direction we've gone in so far, or maybe I/we should just come up with a single article chronicling Columbia students' ingenuity, with individual articles only for 'major' sites.

We could do both? An overview page detailing what you just said, plus individual pages for websites people care to create pages for. Admin 05:39, 4 May 2013 (EDT)

Notability standard discussion

There's renewed discussion of whether there's a Notability standard for wikicu going on here: Talk:Notability#Renewed discussion 2013. Absentminded 13:34, 3 May 2013 (EDT)

Spectator Archives updated

It looks like the Spectator Archives have been updated to add issues from 1938-1947, and the 1949-1950 academic year. Absentminded 18:01, 1 May 2013 (EDT)
