[edit] Fact vs hype
My feeling is that the wholescale deletion of the previous article on 13/04/06, and replacement with promotional material, is not appropriate. My edit on 15/04/06 removes those parts of the new text that I thought were just opinion. Obviously what is left is not good, but it might at least form the basis for a more factual entry. I also reinstated SU information, which seemed fine. Before doing this I looked at the talk for one or two other universities. There is a good discussion on fact vs hype in discussion of the opening paragraph of the LSE article (Talk:London School of Economics) which perhaps might usefully inform future development of this page. 86.30.226.242 21:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] University ratings
(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.
