Talk:Nottingham Trent University

message: Removed link to http://www.nottinghamstudent.co.uk/ as it doesn't related to NTU as far as I can see.
If a viable reason for its return can be established then I see no reason for it not to return.
Removed links to http://www.live2flirt.co.uk/ and http://urn1350.net/ as both do not seem to have direct links to NTU or contain NTU related sections.
Ideally links should have a solid link to NTU rather than a generic student theme. - (Polymorp 19:24, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

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.

thread_title: Partner university

message: Please, please, someone. This page isn't up to scratch with other uni pages. A 'new building' with 'new lifts'... is that as important as the clubs and societies on offer, the halls of residence, or the laudable Nottingham Law School? Though not. Let's get more decent information on here and more flattering images. People actually read these articles, and a bad one can maker or break decisions to study at an institution. Can someone refine it please?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by N0105143 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Do something about this page 

message: This is a short list, too short to stand alone, and some of it unsourced. It would be better merged here. We do not have separate alumni lists for any other university that I'm aware of. Comments welcome. --Rodhullandemu 17:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: See :Category:Lists of people by university in the United Kingdom.  There are a few, but you're right: this list should be merged in. — mholland (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, good grief. Can of worms. I'm not sure what is meant by "X university people" anyhow. It could include almost anyone. I think these lists should be restricted to notable alumni and if they are too short, merged into their parent articles. This one, to me, is an obvious case in point, since my experience thus far is that they tend to be magnets for self-aggrandisement or pranking, and it's easier to watchlist n articles than 2n. --Rodhullandemu 01:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merger of [[List of Nottingham Trent University alumni]] 

message: Paul Kaye - Dennis Pennis, was he a Nottingham Trent graduate or a Nottingham University graduate?
Not sure who posted the above, but moved to a section as seemed out of place at the top of the page. Anyway, I would ask who, if any, awarded degrees for Trent/Nottingham Polytechnic before it gained University status in 1992? If nobody did, a lot of the alumni personal pages need to reflect this along with this article. Just because you graduate from an institution that several years later becomes a university, it doesn't mean you then have a degree. I'm sure another institution must have awarded degrees for Trent students, but who? I know my old University of Nottingham had theirs awarded by University of London before 1948. Steve hill4 (talk) 13:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: (1) he graduated from Nottingham Trent, as the reference I've just placed on his own article states (2) Polytechnic degrees were validated (and technically awarded) until 1992 by the CNAA. --Rodhullandemu 14:15, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  New editor copying content within Wikipedia to place in a prominent position 

message: The current list as it stands has no consistent format. I see multiple MOS violations (MOS:LISTFORMAT, MOS:OVERLINK, MOS:SEAOFBLUE to name a few), too much detail (MOS:LONGSEQ) and unnecessary refs (WP:SOURCELIST). I know WP:APOENTRIES doesn't apply but I think the proposed format there could work. These people are notable (in the scope of this article) for being alumni of this university. We don't need to know their entire life, what they're doing right now, etc. The basic pattern [Bullet Wikilink (birth year–death year), descriptor] should be more than enough. I would also argue that simply linking the existing category would suffice - I know having lists and categories covering the same content is not against policy, but again, how many details do we need to know about these people? Surely everything is covered in their own articles. Or just make a listicle (but again, I would trim the content no matter what). The embedded list accounts for almost half of the size of this article. That's too much. - Ïvana (talk) 15:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
