Talk:BYU Alumni and Friends

What do you think of the name? Is there a better name to use than "Our People"? Maybe, "Friends of BYU"? The problem with both of them is that they create exclusions (i.e. there are some people who are NOT "our people" or not "friends of BYU") Kurt Gee 04:59, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Good question. There is no easy solution. What about "BYU Alumni and Friends" I think that is pretty close to accurate. Daw44 05:03, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I moved the page (as you can see). I like that name a lot better. Kurt Gee 04:27, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

What do you think about adding a "research methodology" section (or primary/secondary?). Any other information that would be nice to have in the table? Daw44 05:03, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I think that would be useful. Also, do we want to put "Ph.D. granting institution" on the table? or should we just make people go to the user's page? Kurt Gee 04:27, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I think this would be very useful too. I like adding this one. Daw44 06:46, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I've been trying to make a list of the changes that need to be made to individual faculty pages. Is that something else you want me to update while we're going on here, or should the user make those changes? I don't think I'd be stepping on anyone's toes to update a link so it actually works. Several colleges and universities have changed their directories, and our links don't redirect. Kurt Gee 04:27, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Please update. People doesn't keep their stuff current, so please feel free to update. Daw44 06:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, do we want to include non-accounting faculty (David Wagner--Org B. & Gordon Smith--Law)? What about faculty who don't have a PhD, like Richard Dalebout? Or non-current faculty like Steve Albrecht? Should there be a special designation ("Retired Faculty") for them? Kurt Gee 04:36, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

We can delete Richard (he retired). Please check the "what links here" page on the right before deleting and try to remove them from the wiki wherever appropriate (you may try searching for their names). As for Albrecht, he's a mission president and will return to the academy when he is finished, so leave him. As for non-accounting faculty, let's put them on a separate page and decide later what to do with them. Daw44 06:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Please move Mike Bednar to the "other" page for now. He's not an accounting professor. You can also create a page for the University of New Mexico. Gracias. Daw44 15:50, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
