I thought this university was in Dunmore. Dudtz 6/1/06 8:55 PM EST

All this information is copied wholesale from the school's website. Editorial bias?

Editorial bias? This whole entry reads like an advertisement!

Fair use rationale for Image:Mw pacers.png

Image:Mw pacers.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Advertising Material

While I think we can all appreciate the efforts to make the article non-POV and free of advertising, I felt like a fine tooth comb approach might serve it a little better. I restored the deleted material and have tried to excise anything that might be construed as advertising while still retaining some information on campus buildings. I did remove all description of the various residence halls as that seemed to be right out of the campus brochure. Thoughts and comments would be appreciated as ideally I'd like to reach a consensus on what belongs here and ultimately remove the advertisement tag.-Tomdobb 12:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I've had to delete the entire History of the University section because it's lifted right out of here:

http://www.marywood.edu/president/history.html

That's a blatant copyright violation. And even if the university's okay with that, taking text from the university's own web page clearly violates WP:NPOV, as evidenced by all the unencyclopedic peacock words in that text. I agree that the article could use a history section, though not one as detailed as the one from the university's webpage. If you're concerned about this article (and don't work for the university!), I would encourage you to write a somewhat shorter, originally worded, encyclopedic section to replace the one I've deleted. The above URL could be cited as a reference, though neutral sources would be better.Jbening (talk) 16:43, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
