message: Anyone have any problems with it?
Oh, point for debate, what's the general consensus on the term 'Dundee University'? It's not technically correct, I don't think it's necessary, could be a point of confusion and is not widely used IMO. --Breadandcheese 17:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

message: It would be nice if someone cared to place in more information about the DoJ Art School since it does seem to be quite well respected and a major part of the University. --Breadandcheese 11:33, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I've never heard of Heathfield referred to as "Heathfield Hall", or Belmont as "Belmont Hall".  Any reasons for keeping the name "Hall" in the building names?  Goldbringer 19:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm... I've admittedly never heard of Heathfield being referred to as Heathfield Hall, but Belmont was certainly called 'Belmont Hall' (or perhaps Halls in reference to the Tower and the Flats) in popular usage up until a few years ago. I'm sure there are still signs up to that effect for Belmont, I'll have a look the next time I'm walking by. --Breadandcheese 21:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: (I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
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. Timrollpickering 22:06, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Do you really think that's going to work? After all, no rating system is by any means definitive, nor do many actually reflect common perceptions. I don't think the present system on wikipedia is any great problem, people understand the status of these and they effectively turn into awards which the university has won more than anything more objective. --Breadandcheese 21:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is Craig Murray the Rector before he is installed? The university website seems to think so - http://www.dundee.ac.uk/pressreleases/2007/prfeb07/newrector.html
The Academic Secretary's email to the students leaves it open to both interpretations - "Craig Murray was elected Rector of the University on Friday 16 February 2007 for the usual 3 year term.  The vote was: [numbers, signature etc]." --Breadandcheese 11:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: If anyone has anything to add to the above, which I of course suggest was complete and utter nonsense, I shall revert back to the original version in due course. I've yet to be enlightened as to the motivations of the "Braveheart editors," which is not a terrific position to be in, but that's no reason to desist from removing pointless and incorrect edits. The point on consistency is well made, and the original Dundee position should hopefully be picked up by the other main university pages in Scotland. --Breadandcheese 21:13, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have removed three individuals from the Law and Politics list as they were all dead by the time University College, Dundee was founded and so could not possibly be alumni of any predecessor of the University of Dundee. There also appears to be a lack of references for quite a few names on these lists Dunarc (talk) 08:37, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alumni 

message: The University launched the European Institute for Security and Justice in June 2014. I think this should be added, especially since they are receiving funding from the European Union and I suspect we'll be hearing more from this institute in the future. In the UK are so far no comparable institutions.
Kind regards
J.N.

thread_title:  Ronald Coase 

message: There is some amazing boosterism of Dundee's prestige on this page (strangely similar to how the university loves boasting it is amazing at life sciences research), I've trimmed it down but I feel there is more to go. If you disagree please comment here. Aloneinthewild (talk) 11:32, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect the Southgate book mentioned in bibliography is possibly the source for this and a lot of the other uncited material relating to the history here. Dunarc (talk) 18:44, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

message: The statement " the "Wimberley Memo" (resulting in the Cooper and Tedder reports of 1952), advocating independence for the College" would seem to be wrong. At the time Principal D. N. Wimberley did not support University College breaking away from St Andrews as David Couper Thomson and others did as the Southgate and Shafe books make clear. Dunarc (talk) 19:04, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
