Talk:Courtauld Institute of Art

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.

message: Is there any particular reason for this UK-oriented article to use the YYYY-MM-DD date format? It is atypical of UK usage and style recommendations (see e.g., the MHRA Style Guide, p. 52) and is directly at variance with the sources quoted – the Guardian RAE 2008 page, for example, is time-stamped "Thursday 18 December 2008 00.07 GMT". It's my personal opinion (only!) that this date format is more of an obstacle than an aid to comprehension. If no-one objects, I propose changing to ordinary DMY format; my own preference is also to omit the day from website access dates, as they add no useful information. Thus 2012-03-09 would become March 2012. I find that more straightforward. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:51, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll give this a day or two more for possible objections to surface, given that the article is an important one. I'd also like to improve the references, convert bare links to full citations and so on. Would anyone object if I changed the referencing system to list-defined at the same time?

message: The two spun-off articles are currently named 
* List of alumni of the Courtauld Institute of Art
* List of faculty members of the Courtauld Institute.
I am sure you see the inconsistent naming. CapnZapp (talk) 10:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that the second list has been nixed, this issue is satisfactorily resolved as far as I'm concerned. Cheers CapnZapp (talk) 08:48, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of... naming consistency 

message: I thought it would be trivial to confirm the current claims, that The Princess Royal is Chancellor and that Deborah Swallow is Vice.
But as it turns out, Professor Swallow is Director (specifically "Märit Rausing Director") and her Dean and Deputy Director is Alice Bovey. I cannot find a single mention of any "Chancellor" on its web site at all. There is a Governing Board, but it is chaired by "The Lord Browne of Madingley". Since I'm sure the previous claims weren't added in bad faith, maybe it's as simple as a new organization?

replies: text: The Courtauld Institute of Art →  – Make shorter (WP:CONCISE, WP:PRECISE). It is also the case for worldwide higher education institutions' Wikipedia entry titles. For example, when "The" is part of the official institutional names of "The University of Chicago", "The Ohio State University", and "The University of Hong Kong" (may refer to their registered logos and institutional documents), we omit the "The" as prefix for their Wikipedia entry titles. With WP:TITLECON, I propose this move. Cfls (talk) 13:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
