Talk:List of University of Edinburgh people

message: Shouldn't this list be only alumni? If one wants a list of faculty, shouldn't that be at a list entitled thus? --Bob 07:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Alumni, or alumni and faculty?

message: Given the eminent status of almost all the people named on the list, Tom MacMaster does not deserve to be here. He perpetrated the hoax, pretending to be a Syrian lesbian Amina Abdallah Arraf al-Omari for personal gain, and caused a campaign to free "her" when he claimed she had been arrested by Syrian police. This set back the cause of the Syrian opposition, and LGBT community. Unfortunately, he has been editing Wikipedia with a variety of IP addresses and at least one sock puppet: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joatsimeon/Archive and will seek to have his name here. I have removed it, and will keep a friendly eye out to try and stop it being added again. Abigailgem (talk) 09:07, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tom MacMaster 

message: I've removed the following two charts from the article, as they were in the Medicine/Physicians section, but they do not refer to physicians, and in fact there are far too many genres in each chart to post them in the article. I invite the creator of the charts, , or anyone else, to divide up the separate entries into their proper categories/genres and re-post accordingly. Thank you.

thread_title:  Removed charts which combine categories incorrectly 

message: It seems to me that the bullet system is by far the preferred format in Alumni list articles across Wikipedia. It also seems to me that the creator of the charts in this article has pretty much only done physicians and other medical-related personnel. It also seems to me that the medical personnel charts are far too detailed and far too comprehensive to be included with the rest of this bulletted WP:List article, because they make the article very hard to read, and they obscure the bulletted sections, and they prevent the presence of images. For all those reasons, I propose that these medical charts be moved to a separate article called something like Edinbugh University medical people or List of Edinbugh University medical people or something like that, and that we link it from this article. I think this solves all of our problems, which seem to be growing, not diminishing. It is easily accomplished by reverting the article to the way it was on 5 February 2014. Does anyone disagree with this proposal? Softlavender (talk) 02:21, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, creating a new List of University of Edinburgh medical people article seems like a sensible suggestion, presumably the bullet list could be kept at this page. I'm not so sure a simple revert would be enough, but it would be a good starting point for sure. Amkilpatrick (talk) 13:52, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I did this now before any further additions are made to the article. Obviously, bulletted additions which were added from 6 February 2014 till today (13 October 2014), will largely have to be reinstated (but not as charts, please). Thanks.

thread_title:  Proposal regarding the chart system versus the bullet system 

message: Due to the need to revert the article to its original form prior to the addition of some charts, any BULLETTED items which were added between 12 February 2014 and 13 October 2014 will largely have to be reinstated. We realize this is inconvenient, but any help making the re-instatements is appreciated. Here is one source for the names, but only look at the bulletted names, not the chart names: .
