message: I think points of Architecture should be merged into the "Campuses" and "Libraries and Museums" sections. Okeekobee (talk) 22:21, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Aside from the gross indentation this section creates, we ought to resist the dubiously fashionable spread of these 'empirical' league tables. They have been demonstrated to favour certain kinds of institutions of higher education, they simplify and mislead the understanding of the institutions character and social place and, more importantly, only serve to turn wiki-pages into university advert brosures. Though the addition and effort is appreciated, I submit that paragraphed presentation of the institution's quality ought to be prefered. Thanks all the same. 81.129.7.241 (talk) 23:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well said! Anyway, the section should have been named "Rankings".  It had nothing to do with "Trivia". Okeekobee (talk) 09:05, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

message: "As of August 1 2005, the University complies with the standards of the Europe-wide Bologna Process and offers Bachelor, Master, Licenciate, and Doctoral degrees.[1]"
* Bologna is not a standard but soft policy and it is much more than BMD-structure. I thinkt his phrase should be reconsidered or reformatted to include wider perspective of Bologna process --Murrur (talk) 03:30, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Given the a) implicit ideological tendencies; b) the English language-culture bias; c) the empiricist fetishism; and d) the instrumental rationality inherent in the university rankings mentality (in theory and in praxis), I don't think it is in the interests of a considered and thoughtful article on the university's history and social context to include such 'statistics' here. To include them, aside from the critical reasons hinted above, is surely to make the first step in turning this unique online information compendium into a tacky university applications brochure that only serves vested interests, whether ideolodical or more concrete.

thread_title: UNI-LINEAR University Ranking Ought Not To Be Included

message: We might want to separate the "notable people" section to "alumni", "faculty" etc. and state more clearly what is the relation of the person to the university.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.27.13.18 (talk) 19:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the above. One could further divide the alumni subcategory into Nobel laureates, business, law, religion, history, mathematics, music, athletics, ect.  According to what they are known for. Okeekobee (talk) 08:29, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the "Notable alumni, faculty, and staff" list should be converted to a sortable table with columns: "Name", "Degree", "Years/Term", "Position(s)", "Notes", "Reference". Okeekobee (talk) 00:54, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I created a separate page for the sortable tables, set them up and linked the two pages.  Now the tables just need to be filled.  Okeekobee (talk) 21:48, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

message: How does the incident relate to the history of the University as a whole?  The paragraph should be rewritten or deleted.  It reads like a news release. Okeekobee (talk) 22:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The "Libraries and museums" section is missing information about:
*The Main Library (Kaisatalo)
