To Improve

Some ideas to improve:

Go take some pictures around campus. The school has some nice old buildings and big old trees. It's spring and things are in bloom.
Sports are good to have, but this is an educational institution. Add some info on the programs and add the accredidation info to "Academics" along with any rankings. Be sure to cite sources.
Nice, old campus. Make a "Campus" section that talks about what is there. You might even have some NRHP buildings that could have a few sentences on. Yes: Pioneer Hall, Linfield College is on the NRHP.see for info
Research. Use your student library resources online to search through for info on buildings, programs, alumni, etc.

Have fun editing. Aboutmovies 04:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On this suggestion, I started to add some information from the U.S. Department of Education in the Academics section and moved it upward on the page. LaneKAsh (talk) 01:47, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added a "Campus" section and added link to Pioneer Hall historical information. More locations could be added from the NRHP site as indicated above. LaneKAsh (talk) 19:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

query

Linfield article says Amy Tan is a graduate, but the Amy Tan article says nothing about this. cwh 19:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She attended but never graduated. She eventually graduated from UC Berkley according to her official bio page. LaneKAsh (talk) 01:48, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual abuse and anti-Semitism allegations

While this incident made news, covering it in such depth - and with a subheader 1 format - would be WP:UNDUE. It runs 240/790 words in the history section. Similar incidents at other similarly-sized, and similar type institutions seems to have the information limited to a few statements as paragraph copy in the history. LaneKAsh (talk) 18:53, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. There were multiple incidents, well-sourced, nor does it go into excessive detail. I've no objection to removing the subheading. Schazjmd (talk) 19:29, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
