Campus

Please Refrain from changing it back to the Ogden Campus--it is the main campus. When people think of Weber State they think of the main campus. Also, you cannot see the Salt Lake Valley from Campus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weberstate (talk • contribs) 04:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Captions: Revision 250504465 Rolled Back

This revision was rolled back for the following reasons:

• The captions reference the "Ogden campus" to distinguish them from the Davis campus. The rolled back revision changed this caption to "Weber State Campus", but in fact there is no singular WSU campus. There are two--the Ogden campus and the Davis campus. If the captions read "Weber State Campus", an interested reader will not know at which of the campuses the photo was taken.

• A paragraph that referenced the "view of the Salt Lake Valley" was changed to "view of the Valley". This was rolled back because non-Utahn readers do not know to which valley this sentence refers.

"Weber State University Information (unofficial)" link removal

Anyone have a problem with removing the link "Weber State University information (unofficial)?" the user added a similar link to other pages, seems to be an advertising page built with a template. --zZq 07:28, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Seeing none I will remove the link. ZZq 08:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Was founded as Weber Stake (yes with a K).

A Stake is a regional division of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints, similar to a Catholic Parish.

"In September 1888, the Weber LDS Stake Presidency organized the Weber Stake Board of Education with stake president Lewis W. Shurtliff elected as president of the board. The Weber Stake Board advertised that in January, 1889, the Weber Stake Academy would begin offering classes, with Louis Moench, then serving a mission in Germany and Switzerland, as principal."

Wildcat

I am fixing the "Wildcat" links per WP:DPL. Noticing from earlier edits that most schools / universities using the word "wildcat" actually had a bobcat, i assumed that this what is meant here too, and i therefor edited the link that way. If this was wrong, please see Wildcat (disambiguation) for the correct link, and edit the links in this article accordingly. - - 'twsx'talk'cont' 13:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Who is Mitchell L. Shaw

Who is Mitchell L. Shaw? Can anyone confirm that a Shaw went to WSU or that he is a "famous international playboy"?

Yes, He is... I saw him the other day

Weber State Wildcats

Splitting the athletics section off into its own article sounds good to me. Go for it. DeFaultRyan (talk) 17:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Oppose. There's hardly anything about Athletics and none of it is supported with reliable sources. --76.4.33.124 (talk) 02:49, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
