Talk:Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association

message: I flagged the section under NPOV because the links for uwstudent.org no longer exist, which means that the facts stated no longer have sources to be backed up.  While it's probably true if you did a poll asking a sample size of students whether they feel that Feds is doing an inadequate job, it's quite hard to state it as fact unless we have actual data somewhere to back it up.--AlphaTwo 16:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Just to note on the recent change and revert on the Womyn's Centre name. The official name currently is the Womyn's Centre. It will not be changed to the Women's Centre until the bylaw change is ratified at the Fall General Meeting of the Corporation. (All bylaw changes must be ratified at a GM). The reason people may believe it is changed is over the recently adopted Service Review Recommendation that was adopted by Student's Council last month. This was a recommendation to bring forward the bylaw change to the GM, which it will be. Despite that resolution, the name is currently the Womyn's Centre and the revert was correct.

message: :Image:Feds2.gif 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

All documentation and websites that don't list the full legal name, list "Federation of Students", which is closer to the proposed title than the current one and fits Wikipedia naming conventions unlike the current title. Paul Cyr (talk) 04:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

text: * I disagree.  Most pages that disambiguate themselves from other pages with the same name, do so by putting an identifier at the end in brackets.  You may suggest putting (University of Waterloo) at the end, which would still be better, but would cause confusion as it is too similar to the real name.  Therefore the real name would work best.

message: The only references are to the Federation of Students' own website, the website of the campus student newspaper (all broken), and uwstudent.org (which was said to be defunct in a 2005 comment, and likely does not contain the linked content, though I cannot read Chinese so maybe this is still at least some kind of source). None of these sources count in my mind as credible, so if someone could provide them it would be helpful. Ebering (talk) 19:58, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
