Talk:University of Bolton

message: Following the recent removal of content by Itsmejudith because "We don't have Controversy sections, and don't use either the Daily Mail or the Socialist Party as references." I have been trying to find a list of approved sources to use on Wikipedia.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  If the use of external material is now subject to censorship then I for one would appreciate the provision by the Wikipedia elite of an approved list of sources.  Thanks.

replies: text: Hi. We don't have an approved list of sources, but you can get lots of help and advice on sourcing from the reliable sources noticeboard. There was a debate about use of the Daily Mail which was covered in the external press. Actually, we might use it occasionally, but I think you will agree that it is hardly suitable for an article about a university. The Socialist Party is a bit different, and has rarely been discussed, but if a point it makes is notable, it would be covered in the local or national press. Article structure guidelines are at :WP:WikiProject Universities which you would be very welcome to join if you are interested in such articles. As a project member I have been working through articles on UK institutions, bringing them into conformity. But note that the guidelines themselves are a matter of consensus between editors.

thread_title: Approved list of sources?

message: (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.

message: How do we tackle this one? I noted the fire at the Cube early on the morning of 16th November  corrected me. I made a point of stating that the Cube was privately owned and parked the note on this page for a lack of anything more obvious- I think that a one liner is justified. has written a whole sub-section. But is the wrong place. 
The issues are incredibly significant and need even wider discussion but the only connection I can see with U of B, is that the victims and two casualities were students here. Should this be an Article or parked elsewhere, what would its title be- Can we justify Wikinotablity WP:GNG. Can it be worked up as a DYK before the UK election? I need a anchor so I can link it to other fire and political articles. Suggestions. --ClemRutter (talk) 14:22, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
