Academic Boosterism[edit]

Lets remember not to do this people. Some of the content of this article is exactly that and I am going to remove it. Please read. Academic boosterism —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.144.20 (talk) 04:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously. This thing reads like a brochure from the admissions department. I was more curious about the history of the school, how and why a respected old law school was annexed by Penn State in the 1990s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.200.59.2 (talk) 19:23, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Penn state dickinson logo.jpg[edit]

Image:Penn state dickinson logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Is there a reason the title contains an em dash instead of an en dash? —danhash (talk) 20:48, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The recent separation of the school into two, separately accredited schools requires distinction between Dickinson Law and Penn State Law. The title should use a comma and present both schools as Penn State University, Dickinson Law and Penn State University, Penn State Law, which is not unlike the naming style of the University of California university system.

Duplicate articles?[edit]

I get two different articles, depending on whether I search for "Penn State Law" or "Dickinson Law".CountMacula (talk) 05:44, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

I know next to nothing about this school, but based on its webpage it currently seems to be marketing itself more as "Penn State Law" than as the "Dickenson School of Law." Shouldn't the title be changed to "Penn State Law" and the intro be changed to "Penn State Law (also known as the Dickenson School of Law)..."? --Nstrauss (talk) 21:18, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

Penn State University, Dickinson School of Law → Penn State University, Dickinson Law – As of June 2014, the ABA approved of Penn State University's proposal to operate the Law School as two independent and separately accredited law schools, Penn State University, Penn State Law and Penn State University, Dickinson Law. In order to provide clarity and consistency to users who may be looking for information on either law school, and to avoid the question of duplicate information, I'm requesting that this article is moved to reflect the separate school's naming convention. The University uses the phrase "Dickinson School of Law" to reference the former unified operation. ACarelock (talk) 17:32, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done at this time; please reinitiate discussion as necessary. As recently as November 10, the school was using "Penn State Dickinson School of Law" and "Penn State’s Dickinson Law" in the same press release, and no evidence has been presented that this is the new common name. Please note that Wikipedia does not necessarily use official names to name articles. Dekimasuよ! 01:47, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
