Do we need all this departmental information? mat334 | talk 09:59, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
I culled the alummni from this site: http://www.drownout.com/columbia-alumni/
I think a long list of alumni is highly relevant for this page, though. For one thing, that other list includes people from other parts of the university, not the College. For another, this wiki entry is really short and seems written by some goofy current students. I wanted to add a little sense of history. Aroundthewayboy 15:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I removed the statement "Columbia College therefore has the third lowest acceptance rate in the Ivy League after Yale and Harvard, in that order" from the end of the opening paragraph. It is factually correct but is basically about Yale (and, to a lesser extent, Harvard) rather than Columbia. It reads as if a Yale booster added it to promote his alma mater. Such information is perfectly appropriate in Yale's own entry but not those of other colleges. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.232.225.65 ( talk) 04:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Langston Hughes did not attend Columbia College. He attended the school of the mines, and then dropped out after one year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.94.158 ( talk) 03:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Image:Columbia cc.gif 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 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.

Columbia College, as it was founded in 1754, was not what it is today. Columbia College then is equivalent of Columbia University today, and Columbia College of today is one of the core undergraduate schools in the university. There is great number of confused facts failing to distinguish Columbia College of 1754, aka Columbia University, from Columbia College of today, a sub-school of Columbia University. The history and alumni sections should be modified accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoroastrama100 ( talk • contribs) 23:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
For such an illustrious school, and I do not mean that at all sarcastically, much of this article is very poorly written. I'm sorry if I sound overly critical: I try to refrain from such, but those sections which ARE well written tend to sound like a recruitment brochure, while other sections read more like a junior high project. There is some excellent factusl info here, material for a top-notch FA, but there is much work to be done. I believe wholeheartedly in crowd-sourced building of this encyclopedia. Far be it from me to discourage ANYone's contributions, but PLEASE, those of you with knowledge and writing skills who have dropped in to push your various agendas, take a few minutes to polish and tweak. Many hands make light work. I have neither time, resources, hardware, knowledge, nor Inclination to do a major rewrite, but I will try to fix a few problems, and if each of you fix a few problems, I think we will all find a .much better article as we check back over time. Thank you for your time and consideration. Rags ( talk) 03:30, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I'm seeing some independent coverage but not enough to justify a standalone article. Only a few institutions have an "academics at X" article, let alone an article on a subtopic of academics at the institution. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 18:53, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
