message: The student numbers currently quoted in the article look way out. They are approximately twice those quoted on the University's own Facts & Figures page (~20,000 students vs. ~10,000 students).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.25.60 (talk) 16:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the alteration to the description of the extent of the University's agricultural campus from km² back to Hectares. The text of the article makes clear that the campus is an agricultural college and a working farm. Thus, a figure given in Hectares allows meaningful comparison with other agricultural colleges and articles dealing with types of farming. TheVenerableBede 09:03, 7 Feb 2005 (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.

message: Is the thing about the lifts having different accents really note worthy? (oh and fyi the lift in the LPAC is a scot) 
On a more serious note, do people think the lpac building is note worthy enough to get its own section, with it the university has one of the largest theatres in lincoln and one of the most modern univeristy theatres.

It's only been going at a steady rate for about 10 years - you're hardly going to have some old profs, and notable people as the alumni in such a new establishment.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.247.125 (talk) 14:14, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: This was altered from 1861 (when the Hull School of Art was founded) to 1992, the date that the ensuing organisation attained University status (as Humberside).  Looking at other University pages the foundation date varies, sometimes giving the date of the oldest teaching organisation that became the University, and sometimes giving the date that the organisation officially became a University.  My own feeling is that we should include both dates, as this more accurately reflects the history of the organisations that were often teaching students long before they became Universities.

message: From History of the Jews in the United Arab Emirates:
:A Jewish Telegraphic Agency report in 1999 stated that: "A British university has banned Jewish authors from its courses at its campus in the United Arab Emirates. The University of Lincolnshire and Humberside has confirmed that books by Jews, as well as those that mention Jews in their bibliographies, are banned by its affiliate in the Persian Gulf state. In addition, the British Council, a state-run organization designed to promote British cultural achievements abroad, also conceded that it acquiesces in the censorship of works by Jews to accommodate "local political, religious or moral publishing laws."
I hoped this article would have something about a UAE campus.
Does it exist?
