Talk:Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford

message: I'm posting this here rather than (re)editing the article to avoid any unnecessary accusations of edit wars etc!  Just so there's no confusion, my edit of L.M.H. to LMH was not vandalism in any way; I genuinely believe the use of full stops to be wrong in this case.  I have never once seen an instance of LMH written with full stops on any document, whether that be student newspaper or the College's official website, which is actually written by the SCR, and, therefore, believe my edit should not have been reverted.  Obviously I'd be happy to hear other people's opinions, though.Libatius 09:13, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Lmh-crest converted 45.gif 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 this Wikipedia article 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Lmh-crest converted 45.gif

message: About to remove an entire chunk of four consecutive paragraphs.  Here is the text to be removed, with inline comments re the rationale for removing it.
:Access to the river allows the JCR to operate a punt house popular with students.
::Rationale for removing: punting already noted above; this adds nothing extra.
:Membership of the MCR entails significant benefits for students. These include graduate dinners and an allocation of 4 free formal dining tickets. The MCR also subsidises many events including cinema trips, theatre outings, ballet and ad hoc events as requested by members.
::Rationale for removing:  This is an encyclopaedia, not a student guide.
:LMH currently demands one of the highest rents for undergraduates in Oxford at £1095 per eight week term (although students are entitled to stay for an additional week either side of term time).
::Rationale for removing:  As per above para, also potentially contentious and unsourced.
:Long term residents of the college are the ducks which can be frequently seen waddling across the quad. One of these, Reg, was granted full membership of the Junior Common Room in order to stand for JCR Presidential elections in 2005.
::Rationale for removing:  Possibly frivolous; unsourced.

message: Why is Nicky Blair (son of Tony Blair) a notable alumni? Surely a notable alumni is someone who is notable in his/her own right and not because he/she is the offspring of someone who is notable. Has Nicky Blair achieved anything that is exceptionally notable? If not he should be deleted from the section. 86.149.131.104 (talk) 01:29, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

message: The motto is from Lady Margaret Beaufort.
It's a triple pun, intended both to mean 'remember me often' , 'I often remember' and, as it is always above doorways, 'I often pass under'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.242.241.97 (talk) 18:28, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

message: There is a brief history of Lady Margaret Hall to be found online as part of A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 3, the University of Oxford. It might be useful in fleshing out parts of the article with non-primary sources if somebody wants to do it. It can be found here.Baldwin Clere (talk) 15:59, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: The Culture and traditions section is odd. It has a mish-mash of things in it some of which are not really related to the college and should be put elsewhere. Then there is the bit about the Quadrangle, which I am tempted to remove altogether, or at least modify. It says quadrangle, but does not specify which. What I do know is that along one side of the Deneke Building, there is a lawn, the Fellows Lawn, which is reserved for fellows, and that there is a Fellows Garden.

thread_title:  Culture and Traditions 

message: The official name given in the article has been up to today (Aug 23, 2017) been The Principal Council and Members of Lady Margaret Hall. Prior to the Charter of 17 March 1926, as amended by Supplemental Charter of 31 December 1953, Supplemental Charter of 23 December 1960, Supplemental Charter of 1 June 1978 and Supplemental Charter of 7 June 2012, this may have been the case, but, the Charter clearly states that the name was changed from this to The Principal and Fellows of the College of the Lady Margaret in Oxford and again to The Principal and Fellows of the College of the Lady Margaret in the University of Oxford which seems to be the current name.
