Talk:Queen's University Belfast

message: Their is good reason for why the date of establishment should be named as 1908, this is the year of creation of the university rather than 1845 which is the year of creation of the college - a distinction should be made. Djegan 20:18, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: This section is a bit weaselly and implies that Queen's is a top-ten university. Can somebody provide their overall score from the THES (unfortunately it is subscription-only, or I'd do it myself). The Guardian's 2005 education supplement has Queen's a respectable 33rd out of 132, so I'll use this figure if nothing else is available.

message: Why have a gaelic translation of the name, since this information's already contained in the gaelic entry? Moreover, what's the benefit of having this (& if we have one language why don't we translations for all languages?) --PdDemeter 17:00, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Using alternative language names is not unreasonable; when it can be justified, the university is located in Northern Ireland and increasingly these institutions are bilingual. I don't believe myself in adding Irish names to Irish articles for the sake of it, but believe that on balance, it is justified and reasonable here. Djegan 17:20, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

text: The name is used in the University by various societies (such as the Gaelic football and camogie clubs) and by the university press itself when publishing some books. If I'm not mistaken, the students union produced an Irish language version of its guidebook a year or two ago. At any rate, it is usual to provide non-English names in articles by which a university is known locally - take the University of Groningen/Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, or the University of Paris/Université de Paris.--Kwekubo 17:25, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, fair enough... I see your point --PdDemeter 13:33, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If you look at all the other entries for universities north and south you will see that the only place the Irish name is mentioned is in the breakout box on the right hand side, when you consider that some of these universities use Irish as their 'official' language (or at least as an working language in some form), just call the Galway University main line. I think the line should be removed from the main paragraph. While it may be used by some of the societies it is used less by the university than any of other universities so for the sake of conformity it should be removed. As long as the Irish name is shown in the piece, ie as the title in the breakout box, that is enough for this English language entry.  --Njg 22:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Agreed. When the above conversation took place the IrishUniInfobox template could not display Irish names (see diff); it does now, so no need to mention the name in the body text too. --Kwekubo 00:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As an aside, its not so much the bi-lingual nature of the university (if a minority language was being catered for it would more likely be Mandarin Chinese) but the legal requirements that public offices legally produce Irish language texts, possibly to do with the Good Friday Agreement. The Irish cultural societies aren't an official university office, so they're just doing as they see fit, most people attending them would be likely to be Irish so its more convienient for them Alastairward 11:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Irish is not an official language of QUB, though it is an official language of the students' union.  If the Good Friday agreement is to be used as a justification then surely Ulster-Scots should be catered for also?

message: Is the disambiguation header been put in place for the sake of real disambiguation of links or as I suspect as a form of advertising for queen's colleges and universities?

You might consider making Queen's University the disambiguation page. I thought about it, but was not aware of any possible conflicts I might get myself into by doing so, and since it wasn't important to me, I just made the dab header at both universities clearer (there was no reference to the Queen's University (disambiguation) page there, only the college page).

message: The Irish name is given as "Ollscoil na Banríona, Béal Feirste". Does this not reflect the old university name, "Queen's University, Belfast"? Should it not be a translation of "Queen's University of Belfast"? 
Plus, there should be a section on alumni. Not a list though. It doesn't need to mention every single person. A paragraph for politics, the arts, science etc, mentioning a few people in each.

replies: text: I think that translations are more a matter of convention rather than word-for-word correctness.

message: Is this a useful or clear entry? For universities in the Republic where a clear legal record is needed for Senate elections this is meaningful data, but for other universities it's either guesswork or the number the university alumni office has on record (and the latter really says more about how good the alumni office is at maintaining contacts, and how easy a task that is, than anything else).

thread_title:  Alumni in info box 

message: One way or another the naming for all QUB articles and categories is a bit of mess:
At a glance, Queen's is one of few universities in the UK where the Wikipedia article isn't located at the current brand name of the institution. (See for example Lancaster University, Durham University, Imperial College London and Queen Mary, University of London, all of which follow the current institutional branding rather than the legal titles "University of Lancaster", "University of Durham", "Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine" and "Queen Mary & Westfield College".) I'm not too au fait with the convention for the Irish universities - most appear to be using the institution style but I'm not sure if they are different from the legal names, though University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork and University College Dublin - National University of Ireland, Dublin appear to be exceptions.
However we've also got a mixture of names in categories: :Category:Queen's University of Belfast, :Category:People associated with Queen's University, Belfast, :Category:Academics of Queen's University of Belfast and :Category:Alumni of Queen's University, Belfast. One way or another something needs to be renamed for consistency across contemporary artciles.
(The Parliamentary constituencies are also mixed - Queen's University, Belfast (UK Parliament constituency) and Queen's University of Belfast (Dáil Éireann constituency). However these are historic and it's probably best to use the official names for them. What discussion there's been on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies#University seat names is inclining towards using the forms in F. W. S. Craig's books for the UK ones - i.e. Queen's University of Belfast.)
A glance at the QUB website leaves me unclear as to whether the comma is part of the brand name or not.
Thoughts? Timrollpickering 21:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As a graduate of Queen's, all of the official paperwork I have uses "Queen's University Belfast" (no comma). I think that's the best title for the article. Cordless Larry 22:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No-one else has commented on this. Unless there's objection, I'll moved this page to Queen's University Belfast in three days and then propose renaming all the relevant categories in line with it. Timrollpickering 16:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Not to sure about "Queen's University Belfast", but its used in the latest logo and website certainly. The problem with anything other than "Queen's University of Belfast" is that anon editors will keep reverting the article terminology, which has largely been avoided on the current location. Djegan 17:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Has that been a problem in the past? I don't know of anyone who actually calls it the "Queen's University of Belfast", and since the website etc. all use "Queen's University Belfast", I can't see any problems with naming the article that, particularly if we rename related articles and categories such as :Category:Academics of Queen's University of Belfast.

replies: text: I agree it's the charter name, though as I note above there are a lot of institutions where the charter name and the current brand name are different. Indeed looking at the other nineteen institutions in the Russell Group three do not use the full charter name (Imperial College London, London School of Economics, Newcastle University) whilst two others leave out the commas (King's College London, University College London). That's a good quarter of the Group and the Imperial, LSE and Newcastle cases are even more different from the charter names than QUB. All the Wikipedia articles follow the brand name and have had few problems. Timrollpickering 14:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Entrants to Queen's have, on average, 359 A/AS-level points and there are currently 5.3 applications per place
This figure seems to imply massive oversubscription, but when I was applying to uni (a long time ago) we applied for six courses through UCAS (avoiding putting all our eggs in one basket), if this is still the case, an application to place ratio of 5.3:1, seems rather unremarkable 86.12.249.63 19:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's true, but (thinking off the top of my head), it's a slightly different situation in Northern Ireland since, unless you want to move to Britain or Ireland, there are only two universities to go to. 5.3 applications per place is therefore quite competitive.

thread_title: Representation

message: The list of former students was in a bizarre arrangement. Normally when putting together lists of famous figures from universities, the order placing used I have seen is 
1. Head of state
2. Foreign head of state. 
3. Former heads of state (at home or abroad). Plus if royalty attended, they appear just below the foreign head of state category, unless a head of state themselves. That is why if Prince Philip and the Irish president attend a function in Northern Ireland together, the president takes priority and her standard flies above his (or if both poles are of the same size, on the left). But if the Queen and the President are at a function in Northern Ireland, the Queen outranks the President and her standard gets priority. Royal consorts of sovereigns and heirs to the throne also go here in the list, just behind foreign heads of state.)
4. Winners of international honours or holders of international offices. 
5. (ex) Prime ministers. 
6. (ex) Speakers of parliament.
 
7  (ex) Ministers and politicians. 
Other alumni should then be listed by association (arts, science or whatever). 
The list in the article was bizarre, to put it mildly. A former prime minister was behind poets and actors, a Lord Chief Justice was described as merely a lawyer, and a speaker was equated with a minister. Bringing up the rear was a head of state. It was perverse. 
I have re-ordered the list to make more logical sense. 
- the head of state (whether native or external) as is normal is stated first, so President McAleese would come first (unless Queen Elizabeth II was an alumnus, in which she would come in first as Northern Ireland is in the United Kingdom, and the President would come in second. Nobel winners are listed next. Lord Faulkner as a former prime minister is brought up the list, as is Lord Alderdice as a former speaker. (If he wasn't already in as a former Nobel prize winner, Lord Trimble would come in after Lord Faulker. Prime Ministers outrank First Ministers but First Ministers outrank speakers. As the former hunger striker is a "current affairs" alumnus rather than in the arts he is put in among the current affairs batch of alumni. 
Arts people are put in a separate group, by topic. 
It makes more logical sense. 
BTW the reference to the 'President of the Republic of Ireland' is factually incorrect. (There is no such title, just as there is no "Queen of England". The references are inaccurate and unencyclopaedic tabloid shorthand.) The title is "President of Ireland" even if de jure under the Irish constitution the president is only president of the 26 counties. Alternatively "Irish president" could be used, with "president" lowercased. Similarly one would write "Queen of the United Kingdom" or "British queen".
I don't know if any royalty have attended QUB. If they have they should be put it behind the head of state/foreign head of state category, obviously in order of status (ie, consort to a monarch, heir to a monarch, foreign consorts and heirs, royals from the state, royals from abroad). 
Given the complexity in Northern Ireland between different identities, I have deliberately focused entirely on applying the sort of rules that would apply in any state, and left aside considerations as to who belongs to which community, etc. I have played it straight down the line in terms of applying the sort of order that would apply to a university in Dublin or Dubai, or wherever, lest anyone think putting Mary McAleese up front indicates bias. If Queen Elizabeth II was an alumnus of UCD in Dublin, and President McAleese was not, the Queen Elizabeth II would top the list of UCD alumni for that basis. It is about someone's status as a head of state, not political considerations. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:40, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I guess that the queen that the university is named for is Queen Victoria, who was the Queen Regnant in 1845 when the university got its current name.  I had to figure that out from the date.  Could that be mentioned in the article?  I had wondered whether it was Queen's University because of Queen Elizabeth II and whether it was in the process of being renamed to King's University now that Charles III is the monarch.  But it looks like the existing name is staying, which I guess is a good thing.  Thanks.  2601:648:8201:5DD0:0:0:0:5265 (talk) 18:57, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
