- Thanks for making this request. This information seems to be unnecessary in the article so I've just removed it entirely.

Curious whether trustee Charles W. Gates mentioned under History, Throop College, is the same
Charles W. Gates
with a Wikipedia article. Looks doubtful geographically and nobody else has linked it. The
Gates (surname)
is widespread.

There is
an RfC
going on on whether the names the South Houses and North Houses at Caltech should be capitalized. The question is whether these names are proper nouns, and whether the amount of sources capitalizing them is a "substantial majority". Your comments and !votes are appreciated.

After doing some research, I agree with
ElKevbo
that general mention of university prestige should be removed from the introduction of Wikipedia articles. Caltech's small size, however, speaks to its selectivity for which it's well-known. It's a feature of the research institution (not necessarily the university at the undergraduate level) and underlines all the institutional proceedings at Caltech per the article. I think this, at the very least, should remain.

- I haven't argued that "general mention of university prestige should be removed from the introduction of Wikipedia articles." In alignment with
current consensus
, I object to the inclusion of material that makes claims of prestige based only on a Wikipedia editor's interpretation of ephemeral sources, particularly when this is a topic that is so well studied and documented by scholars and experts.

- ElKevbo
I apologize for my misunderstanding. Check the page now. I'm really trying to give good information without suggesting prestige. The current intro doesn't suggest this. Let me know what you think!

Would
San Andreas (film)
count in any way?

How about Mission Impossible (the TV series) and the steam tunnels? Does that merit mention?
