== The CSU Dispute ==
There is some sort of movement of [[San Jose State University]] students to designate the San Jose campus of the [[California State University]] as the "flagship" campus.  See the discussion at the [[California State University]] article and talk page.  There is no official support for such efforts, despite the comments on that article.

Such an effort mocks the [[University of California]] designation of [[UC Berkeley]] as the flagship campus of the UC system.  As is well know, UC Berkeley was in fact the original campus, and all of the other campuses of the UC system were creates as branches of that first campus (or were converted into branch campuses from predecessor schools).  Those campuses operated as branch of the main campus until becoming a seperate campus.  In the [[California State University]] system, the opposite happened (other than the Chico and Pomona campuses and the recent creation of campuses in Ventura and San Marcos), and generally a series of seperate, independant normal colleges were collected together to create the CSU system.  Although the San Jose campus is the oldest public college or university in California, even older than UC Berkeley, the selection of the San Jose campus as a flagship ignores other critical facts for selecting a flagship campus, such research activities, student populations, donations, etc.  The effort to select San Jose as the flagship campus is misguided and presently (2006) lacks any official support.

:See also the discussion at the [[Talk:San José State University]] and [[Talk:California State University]] pages.  Guest 19 February 2006.
:A supporter of the SJSU renaming campaign responded on [[Talk:California State University]]. I'd reply to him in more detail, but his actions (vandalizing my user page as an anonymous user and then hypocritically accusing me of vandalism simply because he didn't like my edits) has stressed me out about the issue.

== SDSU Professors Vernor Vinge and Suzette Elgin ==

I'm actually not too familiar with sci-fi literature. I know of Elgin primarily because she's a linguist, and only secondarily for being a peace activist and sci-fi writer. [[User:Serapio|Serapio]] 14:44, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

* San Diego (especially [[UCSD]], e.g., David Brin, etc., and to a lesser extent [[San Diego State University|SDSU]]) seems to have knack for producing prodigious purveyors of science fiction literature ([[alliteration]] intended)... maybe its produced by something in the air, water, etc.?  ;-)

==SDSU==
I want to thank you for your hard work on the SDSU page, you have added a lot of signficant contributions. Have you been to SDSU recently to take the trolley picture? I am currently starting my second year there and I will likely be taking multiple pictures of the dorms, signficant buildings, and other structures on campus to soon add to the article. If you can think of any other notable sites that should have pictures, let me know, and I'll do my best to get them. Anyway, keep up the good work. --[[User:Nehrams2020|Nehrams2020]] 21:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
:You are welcome. I enjoy this process and I like the interactive nature of Wikipedia. I think we should probably have a few pictures of the new campus construction, like the College of Arts & Letters, Bioscience Center, and Student Health buildings, so if you can capture and post those images then that would be great. Also, there is an observatory dome on top of the Physics/Astronomy Building and I can't find much information about that...how about doing some research on that as well as getting a photograph? [[User:Streltzer|Streltzer]] 00:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, by the way, I did not take the trolley picture. That was posted by a light-rail enthusiast, and it was originally for several other wiki articles. [[User:Streltzer|Streltzer]] 00:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

:I'll work on getting those pictures and a few others, I'll just add them to the gallery section and they can be removed if necessary. It may take me a few weeks to get the pictures though, since I want to try and take the pictures on weekends when there are no students in the way. --[[User:Nehrams2020|Nehrams2020]] 18:31, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

==SDSU pictures==
Unfortunately, my camera broke a few weeks ago and I am unable to take any pictures as of right now. However, I will be getting a new camera sometime within this month. I guess if you're coming down for the game you can take the pictures then, or wait until I get my new camera. I'm sure you'd probably prefer to take them and get the angle you think would be best. They did finish the Student Health Services building and it actually looks pretty good. Construction of the new swimming pool complex is also currently under construction and will finish this spring. I'll be sure to get a picture of that once it is completed.--[[User:Nehrams2020|Nehrams2020]] 08:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:SDSU-library-image.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:SDSU-library-image.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:SDSU-library-image.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found  [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:MLML.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |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.

==San Diego State University history==
Hey, I just created the article [[History of San Diego State University]] after several months of working on it in my sandbox. Feel free to take a look at it and copyedit/take out/expand. I'm hoping to get it to GA status at some point, and it is already well-sourced and covers a large portion of the history. Some sections need further updates for recent decades and I plan to also at some point visit the university archives for other documents to include for sources. This article has a lot of potential and I'd appreciate any assistance you're willing to lend. Thanks! --[[User:Nehrams2020|Nehrams2020]] ([[User talk:Nehrams2020|talk]]) 08:14, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either  via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art]], a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the [[Los Angeles County Museum of Art]] (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art]]. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 00:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

== I am wondering why  ==

you took the federal government sponsorship (not very well phrased, perhaps, but still encyclopedic) reference out of [[Donal Hord]]?  [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 00:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
*Very good question. I believe that the article clearly identifies these works as being produced during a time in which the artist was receiving a stipend from the federal government; but I don't see that such income constitutes government sponsorship of any particular piece of artwork. Here is the paragraph as it reads after my revision:
{{quotation|In 1934 Hord applied to, and was accepted into, the Federal Art Project. This project, through which the Federal Government paid artists a regular salary ($75 a month, in Hord’s case), to produce works that were placed in schools, post offices and other public places. An early contribution by Hord to the program was the stone fountain, Tehuana for Balboa Park’s Hospitality House. The ensuing years were to see the creation of some of Hord’s best-known and most endeared pieces, including the monumental Guardian of the Waters, which still stands in front of the San Diego County Administration Building, Aztec, located at San Diego State University, and eight limestone panels, Legend of California, for the Coronado High School.}}

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

The LA Wikipedia community has three events in mid-February -- please consider attending!

First, we have a Valentine's Day edit-a-thon appropriately named '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Redondo Loves Wikipedia|Redondo Loves Wikipedia]]''', which will take place at the Redondo Beach Public Library from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, February 14.  Join library staff, the Redondo Beach Historical Society, and others to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of Redondo Beach!

Second, we have a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women editing session]]''' on Tuesday, February 17 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown.

Third, we have an '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB/Unforgetting 8|Unforgetting LA]]''' event put on by East of Borneo in collaboration with the [[Getty Research Institute]].  Come help improve Wikipedia's coverage of LA design and architecture, and have an awesome free day at the museum -- parking will be validated for edit-a-thon participants! If you'd like to use particular books from GRI's great collection, be sure to email before 2/13 (instructions at event page).

And be sure to check out our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA|main meetup page]], because we already have three SoCal events scheduled for early March!

Dear Streltzer,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on [[Los Angeles]] to [[WP:Featured article|Featured article]] status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Los Angeles/LA to FA 2022|add your name here]]'''!

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Subject does not appear to be independently notable (and notability cannot be inherited from its unquestionably notable university) and there is already a suitable amount of information about this topic in the university article'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify -->

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the [[Special:PageHistory/Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory|page's history]] for further information. [[User:DatBot|DatBot]] ([[User talk:DatBot|talk]]) 00:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
