Matt Macdonald

Latest comment: 16 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

A new editor (who from the username and ediut history appears to be Macdonald himself) keeps adding someone called "Matt Macdonald" to the "notable alumni" section. This sure looks like vanity to me, but the "claims to fame" are getting increasingly puffed-up with each addition. If no references are provided, I'll probably remove this again. Anyone have an opinion on this? Friday (talk) 03:51, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I've moved the questionable bit of text here: Matt MacDonald 1993, Former President of the Bradley Speech Team, Assistant Coach of the University of Texas at Austin Speech Team and notable copywriter of famous commercials such as Dentyne Ice's "Subway", the Diamond Trading Council's "Steps" and Visine's "There's a Visine for That." Friday (talk) 04:06, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I am a longtime Bradley fan who wished to correct two errors on the page. a) the lack of information about Bradley proudest tradition-- the Bradley Speech Team and b) the omission of Matt MacDonald, Bradley youngest notable alumni.[[Macdonaldorama 04:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)]]

Information from your own personal knowledge is called "original research" in Wikipedia terms, and it's not to be used in articles. Here, we need reliable sources. Do you have any sources to support the assertion that Macdonald is "notable"? Are magazines interviewing him about his creative prowess, for example? Friday (talk) 04:56, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I think in this case, without citation it is unlikely McDonald would be considered "notable" without an award or published article by a respected magazine or journal. I would also like to request the "Student Organizations" section be cleaned up. There is some rambling Alpha Psi Omega stuff about how they are organized locally, including direction to contact their current representative. Dfuertges 16:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)dfuertges

I know nothing about Bradley University, but this article strikes me as unbalanced, devoted to puffing the sports teams and the university -- i.e., not NPOV. I suggest it needs cleanup. Zaslav (talk) 07:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

This is a problem with a lot of university articles, a lot of K-12 school articles also, and indeed even with some articles about cities. I sometimes wonder whether people actually go to school and live in places, or just kind of exist waiting for a brochure to tell them what their life is like. Sources, especially for most urban universities, are available if one wants to look for them. --Closeapple (talk) 09:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

It has not been confirmed that Bradley is bringing in more Fraternities to campus. 98.214.120.239 (talk) 07:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I created a userbox for people who are, will, or have attended Bradley. You can find it here at Template:User Bradley. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 14:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

The second sentence refers to Bradley University as "Bradlely College." Which is it? 172.56.28.51 (talk) 08:55, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
