copy and paste?

I think that some of this page has been copied and pasted from the official Molloy website. 104.162.182.22 (talk) 16:06, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

February 2016

The changes being made to this article in the February / March 2016 timeframe are entirely inappropriate. The article has become largely promotional and overly stuffed with non-encyclopedic trivia. This is not Molly's unofficial website, and should not mirror the content of their official website. Material that is not cited by reliable sources should not be included. Nor should a campus map (look at the article for any other significant college or university, and you will find no campus maps published in those articles).

I have addressed some of the concerns about this page:
  1. I have removed any promotional language (language that promotes the school and leads the reader to think "what a great place -- I should attend there" is completely inappropriate to a Wikipedia article -- see WP:SPAM);
  2. I have removed inappropriate links to individual program and club webpages per WP:EL;
  3. I have removed the list of presidents as WP:TRIVIA, since none of these individuals are notable;
  4. I have reformatted some lists for better readability.
As the edits that I have undone appear to have been a concerted effort on the part of several people, I'm guessing that this might have been a school project to improve the school's Wikipedia page. If that is the case, I would request that the project coordinator or instructor contact me on this page or on my talk page (User talk:WikiDan61) for some advice on how to proceed with the project. Alternately, the project coordinator can look at Wikipedia's guidelines for school and university projects. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:55, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
