Rankings in lead

Please keep all rankings confined to the "Rankings" section. It is inappropriate to put a ranking in the lead, especially the second sentance, when the fact is only repeated later and other facts demonstrate MIT's excellence. MIT is widely acknowledged to be "elite", "prestigious", "exclusive", "the best in x" -- the fact that other schools brand themselves as the "MIT of England," the "MIT of India," etc. is a testamant to that. Adding a ranking by a newspaper does nothing to convey encylopaedic knowledge other than one organization's POV assertion that "MIT is a better or worse than these other schools." Despite the non-NPOV of rankings, they inevitably crop back up into university articles, so a reasonable compromise is to keep them confined to one section. An obsession with rankings belies an underlying lack of confidence in the strength of one's own programs on their own merits. Madcoverboy 21:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Lack of source information

Hi. Thanks for uploading the following images:

• Image:Chp lewin 11.jpg
• Image:Professor Lewin hanging as a Pendulum.jpg
• Image:Chp D17wl1.jpg
• Image:Professor Lewin Smilling.jpg
• Image:Walter ring sm.jpg
• Image:Walter Lewin and the pendulum.jpg
• Image:Lewin during a lecture on Electricity.jpg

I noticed that the image description pages for these images do not currently specified the author of the photographs, so the copyright status is unclear. Please add detailed source and licensing information for these images. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 02:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Queen Elizabeth High School.jpg copyvio

It seems you copied Image:Queen Elizabeth High School.jpg from the image on the school web site and tagged it as {{PD-self}}. Now, we can understand newcomers who forget to include a source, in their first uploads But, to say you created an image, when you didn't is very bad. --Rob 06:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
