not sure why this was moved; if you move, please click on "what links here" and fix all the double redirects. But isn't "Cal Poly" the conventional term? --Jiang 02:29, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I don't believe this is the right way to go, taking the locations off the names of both Cal Polys isn't really very logical as the cities are part of the offical university names...Punani 08:20, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
How about Cal Poly, Pomona and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo instead of having to spell out the whole thing? --Jiang 18:41, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I've moved the articles to Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on the basis of wikipedia:naming conventions (common names). The Cal Poly Pomona website doesn't use a comma. Should we? --Jiang 01:18, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I guess you are right in saying that this is the more common name even if it is not the proper name of the university. With this in mind, I think that Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly would be the most common names. SLO's page (http://www.calpoly.edu/) refers to it both as this name and as its proper name California Polytechnic State University. This is because they were the Original Cal Poly. Pomona's page (http://www.csupomona.edu/) refers to it as either the proper name California State Polytechnic University Or as Cal Poly Pomona (no comma). It would be nice if we could keep Cal Poly as a disambig page to help clear all this up, but I understand if we make this the SLO page. Cavebear42 17:21, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'm removing carrot top as an alumni. He most defintely attended Florida Atlantic University.
I added the history section, but it will probably need some polishing, reorganizing, and editing. Looking at other college Wikis, the CPSLO history I put together is very date oriented, while the others are more generalized (and enyclopedia-like?). The three sub sections were akward and hard to integrate so I just left them out as subsections, but the organization seems improper. Looking at it now, the linking needs review too... I overlinked on the dates (linked every year). The rest of the article needs some work too. The parking section is pretty biased. Notable alumni could be expanded a bit from [1] (http://www.alumni.calpoly.edu/alumniinfo/notable.asp?pid=5). The page could use an athletics section too. Tyro 05:32, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
I agree, the Parking section is very biased. the Campus section in general needs to be expanded. I will start taking some pics of the campus this week to post on the page. --Samxli 09:14, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
