Talk:University of Birmingham

message: "Chancellors" section has been moved to List of University of Birmingham people. I think it would be apt to have that section in the list. UI1990 (talk) 03:33, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chancellors 

message: As an American in California, when I see Birmingham, I automatically think Alabama. Sorry, I know it's an American bias thing. Anyway, I would have thought that to alleviate this, the opening sentence or paragraph would very quickly indicate that the University of Birmingham is in fact in England, U.K. It doesn't immediately state this and I was confused for a little bit. Can some good editor clear this up? 130.76.186.17 (talk) 13:56, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Isn't John McHardy Sinclair, the linguist, worth mentioning in this article? --Kommerz (talk) 20:14, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The article you link to has a single reference, he seems to be notable in of himself but I would suggest that you place your effort on greatly improving the content of that page before suggesting he is notable enough to be named as in the main article on the University of Birmingham which should really be limited to Nobel Prize winners, highly notable politicians and leaders in their fields. Sinclair may qualify for this but I don't think he should be included until he  actually has a properly referenced page of his own.

message: Hallo, Working on the article Lynne Brydon I read the statement "As Director of DASA (formerly CWAS)..." on her University profile, but we still have an article Centre of West African Studies, linked from the  template under "Facilities".
Could someone more familiar with the university update as appropriate?
I see also that her UoB web profile says she "is currently Head of the School of History and Cultures", while someone else's says "In January 2022 I began my new role as Head of the School of History and Cultures.", but that's up to the university to keep its pages up to date. I'll stick to giving the date she took up that role, for wikipedia. As she is "honorary" staff, she has presumably retired from some or all of her other university positions.
