Do you know anything about Ed Johnson?? I'm not totally sure that he is a faculty member, nor that he received a PhD. Kurt Gee 18:23, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

He has a Ph.D. but is not currently teaching at a university. We can probably delete him and his profile. When you delete a page, please check the "What links here" on the left of the screen to make sure you change any links to the about to be deleted page. Same thing for renaming pages. You will want to change all references to the old page to the new one before we delete it. Daw44 05:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, I think Bret Bradley does OrgB instead of Accounting. Unless you know otherwise, I moved him to the Others Page. Kurt Gee 18:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I believe you are right, please move him. Daw44 05:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Can you delete a few pages: "University of Nebraska", "University of Nebraska-Lincoln", "Bentley College", "Rutgers University-Camden", "UNLV", & "Dalebout, Richard". I've moved the contents to pages with different names, and updated all of the pertinent links. (I don't think I can delete a page, but if I can, please tell me how.)

There may be some un-updated links on the Current Faculty page. When I try to edit it, it shuts down (like this page used to when we had all of the pictures.) That's why I didn't think I had rights to edit it before. I figure any issues with that page or other "current ___" pages will disappear when we take those pages down and put this one up.

Will you first check those pages for the links (like described above). I'll make you an admin so you can do it. Daw44 05:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Another thought: rather than needing to update faculty members' pages AND this page when a faculty member changes universities, what if we delete the "PhD-granting institution" and "Current School Affiliation" from the faculty pages, and just have that information on the table on this page? Do you think that's less useful? It eliminates an update anomaly. Kurt Gee 05:06, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Interesting idea...why don't you put together a prototype or two of what you think a faculty page should look like. Should we move the pic to the right? Maybe learn more about forms as that should allow us to make them somewhat similar... Daw44 05:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Do you think we should list Doctoral students Ph.D. institution where they are currently at even though they haven't graduated (that is repeat the university name on their lines)? I'm leaning toward yes so we can better sort and see everyone from that area. Your thoughts? Daw44 06:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
