[edit] Famous People

We definitely need more people in the Notable Alumni list. Can someone give me more details about "Sridhar Sundaresan, Computer Scientist"? Googling did not help. Jbritto

I no longer think this Notable Alumni Section is a good idea. I don't even know half these people. What is a Serial Entrepreneur anyway? Jbritto

[edit] External Links / Queer Anna

Now, I do not want to get into an edit war over editing the link to the online LGBT support group. Hope, we can have a civil discussion in these pages rather than resorting to an edit war.Sundar

It is bonafide material, connected to Anna University. It is a serious discussion/support group. So, if anyone has any genuine concerns with the link, they should put up their concern out here, to be discussed. Brute deletion of material, especially repeated deletion, is highly incourteous. A similar link on SVCE webpage is also being deleted repeatedly. If this continues, I will have to resort to arbitration. Hope people can behave themselves.Ramki 19:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Link removed. See discussion in article on CEG. Threats of "resorting to arbitration" while indulging in such a blatant perversion of the purpose of Wikipedia just sounds juvenile.Jbritto 19:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Link readded. The reason given is nothing, apart from petty namecalling. How the link is a "perversion of the purpose of Wikipedia" is beyond me. If you could provide any clarifying material, it would be appreciated.Ramki 20:28, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

See the discussion in the Talk:College_of_Engineering,_Guindy article for a better explanation. Sundar is honest (as expected) in admitting that visibility for the group is one of the reasons why you feel it needs to be in the article. This, in my opinion, and many others', goes against the purpose of wikipedia (see links below). I understand that there is hostility towards LGBT groups in many places, and the person repeatedly deleting without explanation is probably doing it with malice, but there really is very little reason to argue that this group is relevant and important to Anna University. It is just as irrelevant to AU as a group that promotes straight sexual orientation, or a group that strives to save the six-petalled adyar water-lilly. Jbritto 22:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Let me ask you this - how many student groups are there at Anna U.? My guess would be a lot. Wikipedia is not in the habit of selecting certain student groups to highlight at a given university. In fact, if you read WP:EL, you'll notice that this fits nicely under "links to avoid", criteria number 3 and 12. --Bachrach44 13:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Relevance?! I dont know why everybody is so particular about deleting this information and taking such pains to prove its irrelevance. As a student myself, i found the link interesting and useful (and relevant). given that this site on Anna Univ has only a few paragraphs on "Dress Code", perhaps those who DELETE can try to be more constructive and THEN start on destruction ???????. Now i don't know understand how 3&12 are relevant. Can i ask the owners to add the link again?

And oh - this group does not(and no group indeed can!) 'promote sexual orientation'. it seems to have a purpose - of supporting students who need help. straight students by and large don't need help with their sexual orientation, and yes, if they did, and there was a group for that, that is probably a good candidate too. ultimately it benefits the 'Anna University' community. and yes, if the "six-petalled adyar water lilly" was the centerpiece of our campus and it was a dying species, who knows, it may have even been a relevant article.

Its precisely for people like this, who misunderstand, who mis-relate, that we need a link here; because people like us need to live with people like you, endure, survive, and live. and a little support is very useful. and more so in a college environment which is a critical phase of life. Sigh.

Shouldnt it be applied sciences in the very first sentence of the article instad of allied sciences?
