message: Before re-editing the information about the 2006 Guardian rankings, please check the Guardian's web page; the Guardian made a number of embarrassing errors in its initial publication of the results.  The rankings seem to have stabilised now and place Plymouth 40th - well below Exeter at 28th despite claims repeatedly made on this page by an anon.  seglea 21:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding the Guardian rankings, the 2007 rankings place Plymouth at 35th, so they indeed appear to have stabilised.  Note that Exeter is ranked 34th in 2007, so perhaps anon was demonstrating a degree of prescience?  However, any rankings of universities or academic departments ought to be taken with a grain of salt.  Imogen27 09:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Does UoP have a chancellor?
-This is a ceremonial role, currently the University has only a vice-chancellor which is the highest role in the University. There is also a motto which is to be unveiled within the next few weeks with crest. RobertBFC 10:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

message: For what I've read, I guess the Greenwich School of Management (www.greenwich-college.co.uk) is an associated college? It does offer MBA Programmes from the University of Plymouth... Perhaps it would be worth mentioning all associated institutions in this article? --Pinnecco 15:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

message: (I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

message: I agree that 'famous staff' is not the right phrase. One also wonders why if there is a section on notable staff there is not one on notable students, though perhaps this would cause some problems for other universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.20.183.55 (talk) 11:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It might be a good idea to have references for the costs of the new buildings, otherwise it just comes across a bit like an advert and not an encyclopedic entry.BananaNoodle (talk) 20:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Is this section needed, it sounds a little to advertisment like for my liking. What do others think? BananaNoodle (talk) 23:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I really doubt that the University of Plymouth absorbed "Tavistock College". What is the evidence for this? --Strathdon (talk) 16:20, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "and Tavistock College" was added by an IP editor in Jan 2009. I agree it appears incorrect and there's no mention of Tavistock on http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/view.asp?page=26069 so I've just deleted it. Qwfp (talk) 11:34, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: IN 2014 the establishment seems to be mired in controversy, yet the mess is obscured in the history section. The rather expensive graduation chairs have also hit the news and this does seem to be notable. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-29262526 for the chairs item Fiddle Faddle 15:25, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Would you like to win up to £250 in Amazon vouchers for participating in The West Country Challenge?
The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, like this one.
The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
Work on any of the items at:
*Core articles
*Missing article hotlist
*Missing photograph hotlist
or other articles relating to the area.
There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:
*Bristol (Day 1-3)
*Cornwall and Scilly (Day 4-6)
*Devon (Day 7-9)
*Dorset (Day 10-12)
*Gloucestershire (Day 13-15)
*Somerset (Day 16-18)
*Wiltshire (Day 19-21)
To sign up or get more information visit the contest pages at Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge.— Rod talk 16:33, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
