title issue
Hmm...I never saw the title as bragging, but rather as informative. What about the title is so problematic? It says what the page is, no more and no less, and it doesn't seem to be making any value judgments about Williams or the grad school listed. Yes, the fact that Williams sends its students to good graduate institutions certainly reflects well on the school, but as I said above--what would anyone expect of Williams students? --[[User:06jps|06jps]] 13:39, 22 April 2006 (EDT)
Dude, nothing about the title is braggartly, it's simply a bad article title for Willipedia. It's a primary goal of a wiki to have all its information linked, or else a page falls into obscurity very quickly. "Where Ephs are going to graduate school" will never get a link in another article unless the article writer already knows this page exists. Contrast this with "Odd Quad" -- even if a writer doesn't know there's a page on that, he'll expect there to be one now or later, and will type <nowiki>[[Odd Quad]]</nowiki>, and presto! the page is used. But the data on this page will never be used unless it gets a better name, like making a section in "Post-Graduate". This title is less specific, but we often have to sacrifice specificity for generalness on a wiki -- or this article dies the moment it leaves "Recentchanges"--[[User:05jl|05jl]] 18:41, 22 April 2006 (EDT)
