Tiger Woods: Championships

2008-08-19T15:47:42.0032Z

I added his Masters Tournament wins in here. As a result, he was typed as a sports team. Is there a better way to enter in individual sports championships?

He IS a renaissance man.

Yale University: yale college and yale university?

2008-07-24T14:54:09.0000Z

Wikipedia tends to classify by the broadest institution, so there are a lot of actors associated with Yale University instead of the drama school. I think it's fine that we start with the lower-precision classification and as data becomes available, replace it with the more specific.

Azriel Graeber: speaking tour

2008-07-24T14:06:36.0017Z

Has anyone heard anything about Graeber's public speaking tour. A friend of mine told me he was producing tapes teaching people how to be as successful as he is, and that they were being taped live. thanks

It's the same Azriel Graeber who invented the milking machine that has a PhD in Genealogy?

It kind of makes you wonder how one person can accomplish so much?

Is this Azriel Graeber the same person of that name who invented that machine to facilitate the milking of cows? I forgot what it's called.

Fair enough. I'll have a t-shirt made that says, "Merge, don't delete." :)

I think our policy should be to always merge equivalent topics, even if there is no additional data on the losing one. If an outsider was storing a link to this guid (an external database, or somebody's bookmarks), we want this node to have the replaced by hint, rather than a dead end.

Yale University: yale college and yale university?

2008-03-27T22:13:29.0017Z

Or, I suppose you could argue that everyone should be linked to the University itself, but I think that's less useful in the long run (if I'm interested in directors who went to the Yale School of Drama, I'd rather query that than to have to filter Yale Univ. grads by degree [MFA] and field of study [directing, drama, acting, etc.]).

It does complicate queries, it's true. Ideally everyone would be linked to the school they graduated from. That said, it's useful to be able to say that someone graduated from Yale University, even if you don't know which school they attended.

2008-03-27T21:26:57.0012Z

This is the case, although it complicates queries. Also, many alumni are linked to the university even though they attended Yale College.

Yale University: yale college and yale university?

2008-02-14T23:16:00.0007Z

As near as I can tell, Yale College is the undergraduate college of Yale University, and should therefore be made a constituent school of Yale, along with Yale Law School, Yale School of Drama, etc., which I've now done.

shouldn't these two be merged?

Thomas Jefferson: AIA Prize?

2007-09-05T16:58:10.0007Z

It was, indeed, a posthumous award. Here's the AIA's official list: http://www.aia.org/awards_goldmedalrecipients. The awards domain schema allows for notes such as "posthumous" to be added for exactly this sort of thing.

Thomas Jefferson: AIA Prize?

2007-09-05T01:19:01.0012Z

Did the AIA award Jefferson posthumously? The Jefferson Library was given an AIA award in 2003. Is this a connection to the wrong topic?

University of California, Berkeley: Upcomming Movie

2007-06-19T03:18:09.0005Z

I believe that a movie is coming out, "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" which is an adaptation of a book, which takes place in the Bay Area, specifically Cal.
