thread_title: Linking with DCU related pages

message: *Check association of European School of Business
*Fill out :Category:Dublin City University (largely done)
*List more links under "in other languages", currently only Irish, French, Finnish, Italian, Japanese and Norwegian definition links are included. (Isn't that done automatically as soon as somebody writes an article on DCU in a new language?) 
- no it isn't, the link has to be included at the bottom of the page.
*List of Dublin City University people needs to be cleaned up.
*Remove excess of links, particularily links to research institutions and replace with link to resarch websites
*Make it read less like a marketing blurb
[edit] Chancellors
    * David Byrne (? - August 2011) (Citation needed?)#
    * Senator Martin McAleese (August 2011 
It looks unencyclopedic to have this uncertainty about David Byrne as Chancellor. Starting date needs to be found. 15:29, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The service has not been officially launched but it is operational. Resource and preservation metadata is being currently exposed and harvested and attendant resources accessed. The process of service advocacy continues and deposits are being added. Both platform and service are  stable releases and not pilots.
The library section needs expansion and flagging the IR service needs to be cited within the overall service context.

thread_title: Rewrite

message: There is no Controversies section in either the UCC or UCD articles even though the managment and reforms in these two institutions has been far more controversial and newspaper headline-gripping than DCU's problems.
In the recently added controversies section it says that DCU has near-corporate behaviour. As far as the corporate whoreing of universities in ireland is concerned, UCD has far surpassed DCU in that respect years ago since Dr. Hugh R. Brady took the helm as President of UCD.
TCD and UCC at least rival DCU in the university corporate whoreing leagues.
UCC has been far more controversial in the past few years with university president Prof. Gerard T Wrixon getting the University into between 60 and 100 million euro in debt. Lecturers in UCC complain of bullying and unfair employment practices.
These facts are ignored by user 83.147.172.138, yet DCU is singled out to be picked on by a user with London based ip address: 83.147.172.138 who says he's been in DCU for the past 6 years. Maybe he's thinking of another university in London with a name somewhat similar to DCU.
User 83.147.172.138, FYI The digital cafe is upstairs in the main restaurant.
There were signs up all over the main restaurant back in 2003/2004 stating that the starbucks there was the first one in Ireland.

:The controversies section is not verified theirfore if citations are not provided then I will remove the section en masse. Many of the citations that where provided where simply misleading, as they did not back the claims made. Remember that editors wishing to include claims must back them up when requested, per WP:VERIFY. Also I will remove the  requests by the editor as these where made in bad faith because I challenged the editor, I think its quite pointless trying to cite these requests. The best option would be to revert the article to before the controversy, the editor was simply a vandal and is currently blocked. Djegan 17:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:DCU Fencing Club.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I'm fairly certain (as a former CA student) that the figures presented here are incorrect. CA did at one point have 300 places but that has sharply declined along with the broader number of CAO applications opting for computing degrees. Additionally, no citation or source is provided to verify the statement that CA is more in demand than computer science in Trinity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericchubb (talk • contribs) 11:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  College Linkage Agreements Strengthened 

message: I've edited the Arts entry. 1. Listing awards of individuals from Drama has very little relevancy to the university itself and sets a precedent to list any awards received by any DCU student. 2. Removed the mention of current chair, relevancy to DCU? Every club/soc has a chair, they are not people of interest. 3. Citations needed for any awards won by Drama, someone care to provide these?. 4. Edited out references to the staff of DCU TV, these are not people of interest and the staff presumably changes each academic year. These entries were needlessly name dropping. Thoughts? --Robnubis (talk) 16:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text:  I've been doing some more cleaning up. A lot of the information in the Arts section read like an advertisement, clearly added by students of the organisation themselves to promote the publications/societies in question. List of society committee members or management teams aren't notable, they change on an annual basis. This entry will be read by people looking for information about the university, name dropping just lowers the tone of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robnubis (talk • contribs) 14:30, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
