message: :Image:Barsmall logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Barsmall logo.png

message: The School has done a lot of work to encourage staff and students alike to use the new "brand" name: Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
It is now the most commonly used name and appears on all documentation and most college websites. http://www.smd.qmul.ac.uk/
The old name is far more clunky than the new one and the greatest number of English speakers will most definitely recognize it.

replies: text: Yup. "Welcome to Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry" is what Professor Sir Nick says right there on that page, and he ought to know. "Queen Mary's School of" is, like, gone, man ... :) Nomorenonotnever (talk) 15:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Has this gone anywhere? There's no more discussion. The website is more consistent about the new name ... should we not now just move it? DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 21:05, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please reconsider this move request 

message: Please see the "reconsider" request and comments following it. I would appreciate some discussion - without it I'm tempted to just move it and see what follows. Please also see the link to the  November 2007 PDF http://www.smd.qmul.ac.uk/about/bartsnewname.pdf which Hewijew posted on their talk page. Thanks DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 08:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Still no comment on this: Shall I take it that there is now no opposition to this move? Your comments would be very much welcomed. Even the SMD home page http://www.smd.qmul.ac.uk/ now has the new form - even in the title! :) DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 10:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

text: It's quiet, Captain - too quiet... I've made it a proper request, please see below. Cheers DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 19:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please comment on move possibility 

message: Just in case anyone does decide to go ahead and move it (because it's not a simple move as it'll be over a redirect so I guess I can't anyway) can I just take the opportunity to point out that there is only one correct form, which is Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry - no comma anywhere, capitalization as shown. I only mention this because it's an area ripe for confusion and at least one previous attempt introduces a rogue, or rouge, comma. :) DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 09:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Getting the name right: Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry 

message: There's been no more discussion and I'm tempted to assume that those who were opposed have lost interest, or even agree (though to be fair I have tried to contact everyone who seemed interested). In the meantime, the School's new name has moved into wider use. Why, even the School's own website http://www.smd.qmul.ac.uk/ is getting it right quite often! :) I therefore propose that the page should move to Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, and that the current (wrong) version Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry should become a redirect to the new one. I feel that this is now uncontroversial, and indeed would move it myself were it not blocked by the redirect. Thanks DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 19:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Uncontroversial and ample precedent so moved. Timrollpickering (talk) 22:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Tim! DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 23:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Hi there, thanks for the heads up. No problem - except with my ISP allowing me to edit at random intervals ... cheers Kbthompson (talk) 23:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 

message: I have suggested very politely that the new editor from a QMW IP address might want to look again at some recent edits. Watch this space. :) DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 15:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: An awful lot seems a cut and paste job. The changes share much of the language of the website and are also unencyclopaedic. Kbthompson (talk) 17:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

text: I've marked the 'work' for citations and tone. The RAE can probably be summarised in a couple of sentences; but the latter is hardly encyclopaedic. Kbthompson (talk) 17:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: (oops edit conflict) Yes. I was hoping that they'd go "cripes Biggles you're right" and give it a jolly good, voluntary sorting out, and that this would perhaps be better/nicer/educationaler (?) than an experienced editor strafing it from a great height ... but yes. And the trouble is that (as you say in the next bit) not all their changes are bad/unencyclopaedic, and I hoped they might have a go at filleting it a bit - but maybe this is an unrealistic hope.  :) DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 18:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Yet another experienced editor has 'rolled up' - or, should that be Tim ..., nah. There's a lot of unwieldy titles in there. :WP:MOS cautions against using the title of the article in every heading. Kbthompson (talk) 18:27, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah yes, fine and jolly good! Cheers, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 19:25, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

message: So are we going to call Richard Trembath the "Warden" or the "Vice Principal and Executive Dean (Health)"? Here he is the VP & ED(H) (snappy title huh?) whereas here he was still (about to be) Warden. He also, notwithstanding any of this, works in the "Warden's Office"! What do you think?

message: Given that the majority of pre-clinical teaching takes place at the Whitechapel campus, perhaps a picture of either the library or the Blizard Institute would be more appropriate?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.188.48 (talk) 11:11, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
