Curious whether trustee Charles W. Gates mentioned under History, Throop College, is the same Charles W. Gates with a Wikipedia article. Looks doubtful geographically and nobody else has linked it. The Gates (surname) is widespread. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CD89:8710:359A:408:9444:BA15 ( talk) 22:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
There is an RfC going on on whether the names the South Houses and North Houses at Caltech should be capitalized. The question is whether these names are proper nouns, and whether the amount of sources capitalizing them is a "substantial majority". Your comments and !votes are appreciated.

After doing some research, I agree with ElKevbo that general mention of university prestige should be removed from the introduction of Wikipedia articles. Caltech's small size, however, speaks to its selectivity for which it's well-known. It's a feature of the research institution (not necessarily the university at the undergraduate level) and underlines all the institutional proceedings at Caltech per the article. I think this, at the very least, should remain. BorderlineRebel ( talk) 14:16, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Would San Andreas (film) count in any way? 149.20.252.132 ( talk) 14:02, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
How about Mission Impossible (the TV series) and the steam tunnels? Does that merit mention? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigMac31 ( talk • contribs) 17:52, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
