message: The picture of RH building needs replacing all you can see is the beehive
I agree with what was said about managerialism but it is not NPOV and therefore has no place in wikipedia ----
I'm happy to take a picture of as many VUW buildings as people want (almost all the other ones on the page are mine).  
Please suggest what you would like/guidelines and I'll get onto it. - dean

message: The first paragraph implies that Bursary is the normal means of admission. Someone who knows how NCEA works (does any such person exist?) should update this. T J McKenzie 23:15, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  University Entrance 

message: The list looks unreasonably long. It needs a trim and the rest of the names can be spun off to a separate article or its own category. Just before you cite another university's long list, I've seen University of Edinburgh and the likes, and they need a trim also. Mr Bluefin 11:47, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it.  If someone is notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia, then they should be included on it I suppose, unless you want to create a category for them?  But the redlinks should go. --Midnighttonight please tell me off for procrastinating on my essay! 22:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I fixed up a few inaccuracies surrounding student numbers and added in links to pages on the University's website regarding Victoria's Maori name, its history, campuses and faculties.  Also alumnus for a male, alumna for a woman, alumnae for a group of women and alumni for a mixed group

The university does not now officially claim to have any motto at all; I do not know when the above motto ceased to be used. I've therefore added a cn tag. The above motto does still appear on a couple of memorial plaques around the campus, but only as a matter of historical interest. The tagline most associated with the university now is "It makes you think", from its advertising campaigns over the last few years.
(I leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide whether it is simply that the powers that be within the university would prefer that people forget the above motto ever existed.) 130.195.86.36 (talk) 23:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motto 

message: From my background in the US, the sentence "Entry to all courses at first year is open, and entry to second year in some programmes (e.g. law, criminology, creative writing, architecture) is restricted." leaves me quite confused.  Both the words 'entry' and 'course' seem to be used differently than they are in the US.  I'm guessing it has something to do with requirements to declare a major in a course of study (vs a single course taken during a semester), but I'm guessing.  Can someone clarify the language to be more widely understandable?  Thanks!  ★NealMcB★ (talk) 05:11, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  VUW no longer occupies railway 

message: The institution is consulting on a name change. Please don't change the name of the article until this actually happens, as per policy, since there is a great deal of work involved in changing the name, since it involves renaming categories with thousands of articles.
