Talk:University of Bradford

message: I'm glad the comment about the Animatronics course has been taken away. I am actually on this course, and have been for the last 2 years, so it's far from a failure.
The Biki bar has closed. However, richmond is sliding down the hill, damn subsidation!
When did the Biko move from the first floor of the Richmond building to the ground floor (or alternatively, when did the Richmond building sink 30 feet into the ground)?  Guinness2702 2005-07-25T14:35 (BST).
That's an inaccuracy. My father was at Bradford in 1966 and the student union bar was on the first floor. The student union shop in the Richmond Building did move from the first to the ground floor recently, but now both it and the Biko are closing down for several months due to construction work on the building.

What exactly is this "bliz" that students enact upon the red-light district on Longside Lane every couple of years?
: I don't know what that's supposed to mean, so that's one of the POV bits I've just excised from the article. ColinFine 17:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

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: The BSC section is good but is far to long to include as a whole, it dwarfs the rest of the info on the union. Is also not a major part & of the union's activities. --Nate1481( t/c) 14:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The BSC hasn't been active in some time, I had no problem when it was part of the union article but after that was deleted including the whole thing is too much. --Nate1481( t/c) 14:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Didn't know it had re-formed good luck with it used to be really good, some mention is needed but the section is to long winded as is. --Nate1481( t/c) 17:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Despite this Nestle vending machines are still common in university buildings.
I'll have a look next time I'm there but unless they've been removed over the summer it's still true, would pictures do as a source? --Nate1481( t/c) 09:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sports centre one did but as I said this was abut a month ago I last looked. I think the one at Dennis Bellemy reception still did too, at the least had a kit kat logo on the side. --Nate1481( t/c) 13:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  3RR violation 

message: Lots of people have been edit warring over this page, so I've protected it for 5 days, or until you can agree on a consensus version for the page.  Some notes:
*I have protected The Wrong Version (TM), so said protection is not an endorsement of the current version of the page.
*Personal attacks and vague accusations of conflict of interest based on alma mater are not productive.
*Poorly sourced material about someones personal life, especially material that would constitutes libel in real life needs a rock solid source.
I'm not a content arbiter, but it you can't reach a decision here then I suggest you seek dispute resolution and/or file a request for comment about this article.  --Haemo 01:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page protected 

message: I removed the material earlier, stating that the point of the section on Chancellors is to state who has been the Chancellor, not everything any of them have been involved in. Most university Chancellors who've been in some political or religious role have controversies. Sticking purely to current Chancellors in the UK there are the following potential controversial ones: Timrollpickering 02:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Why the Chancellor's views do not belong here - my opinion

message: Haemo acknowledges that he (of course) protected The Wrong Version. But in this case, the version is not simply wrong; it is defamatory, and potentially libellous. The claim that Imran Khan is "a Taliban leader" is based on a single reference, of doubtful provenance, and is not backed by any independent evidence. As such, it has no place even on his biography, much less on an article about an independent institution. I request that this phrase be removed from the article. RolandR 20:40, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with RolandR that this claim should be removed as soon as possible, for obvious BLP reasons given the weak evidence for a very serious, probably libellous claim.--Slp1 02:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Tend to agree; poorly sourced material should be removed, and I have done so.  Discuss it, and get some rock-solid sourcing for it for inclusion.  --Haemo 03:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requesting edit 

message: A comment here has been removed, as it is potentially libellous. FCYTravis 05:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Accuse me of bias all you want, but the fact remains that you have one dubious source for your claims that he is a "Taliban leader".  In fact, the Associated Press specifically avoided calling him as much.  Your "quacks like a duck" argument is classic original research. --Haemo 05:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

message: On what planet does the Psych dept have an "impressive reputation"??? It is consistently near the bottom of the departmental rankings (except possibly for NSS - which says nothing about it's academic reputation) and drops further every year. Famousdog (talk) 07:31, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, as I suspected, this article reads like a brochure. I've tagged some of the worst examples. Perhaps some reliable, third-party citations will stop me from cutting all this promotional fluff. Famousdog (talk) 07:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Uni PR department do seem to "correct" thinks quite a bit, please do remove any obvious stupidity, if in doubt over a spesific point post a message here & some people will give you feed back. --Natet/c 11:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
