Talk:IIT Roorkee

message: It has been suggested that this article be moved to Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. (Discuss here) — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving Page 

message: This article, as mentioned in the previous tag, needs rewriting to avoid looking like an essay or a review. Facts only please; no point of views. 
And as for the facts, support them with credible resources. Think about your audience--it's the whole world. Noone will appreciate blatant promotion without credible sources (newspapers, journals, books, etc.) to back it up. Perhaps someone from the current batch, or an alumnus, can work on it. Keep the tags until you are satisfied with the page. They will make sure that if not you, someone else will work on the page.
For a good article, you can refer to educational institutions in the list of  Featured Articles in Wikipedia.

message: I think the whole page needs a overhaul and a structure smilar to MIT or IIT B should be created.--Ambuj.iitr (talk) 16:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restructuring 

message: There is a complete paragraph on the MCA programme of IIT Roorkee in the Overview section that doesnt make sense beacuse there are a lot of courses and all have equal importance. If one was write about them, even then they should be written in academic section not in overview and then again either cover all the branches or none.
@above - done, did a lot of clean up in Academic section, removed all these un-necessary/irrelevant details. abhi (talk) 10:56, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: A good initiative, but copy pasting from the website is a copyright violation, please be more careful in the future. I rewrote the section completely. --Muhandes (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Oops! I am new to wiki editing, totally forgot about the copy right stuff. Thanks. abhi (talk) 08:03, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unrelated Paragraph on MCA in overview 

message: I propose to merge University of Roorkee into Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. A former name of the same institute should not have its own article - it should be mentioned in the history section. --Muhandes (talk) 10:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: I think the article should talk about the Institute Anthem "Jayati Jayati Vidya Sansthan", which was composed by famous poet Sumitranandan Pant. However I could not find much on web to support it, will try more. Please try if you can find it. 
Best would be to get the complete text on wiki commons with translation and link it to this article. - abhi (talk) 07:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: found this article to support this. Which place would be the best to mention this - a new section 'Heritage'? 'Interesting Facts'? or a sub-section under history? - abhi (talk) 06:25, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  "Interesting Facts" sections are strictly against WP:TRIVIA. The best would be if you could find a source (offline or online) for the year in which it was composed, and add it to the history section. I don't think you have enough material for a legacy section. --Muhandes (talk) 15:39, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok, i'll try to find year of composition and also will try finding more material for heritage section. - abhi (talk) 08:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Articles on Alumni 

message: Not sufficiently notable to stand on its own but would make a good section in the article on the university. RadioFan (talk) 00:18, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose - Well if you see the Culture section in :Template:Indian Institutes of Technology, there are some festivals which have their own pages, and a few others which do not. I believe the Cognizance article can be expanded substantially. It has also received mention in the media, independent of the institute. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 16:19, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose - I agree with Anir1uph. It will be better to expand the separate article on festivals rather than putting lot of festival details in main article. In the main article it should just mention 2-3 lines on the festivals and no more. However, if there is not sufficient material on Congnizance alone then it will be better to expand the articles scope to include all students festivals of IIT Roorkee - Thomso and Srishti. - abhi (talk) 17:27, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
