Talk:Anna University

thread_title: Notable alumni

message: We definitely need more people in the Notable Alumni list. Can someone give me more details about "Sridhar Sundaresan, Computer Scientist"? Googling did not help. Jbritto
I no longer think this Notable Alumni Section is a good idea. I don't even know half these people. What is a Serial Entrepreneur anyway? Jbritto
I too feel the same. 'Notable Alumni Section' is either a bad idea here or it should include only persons of national/international reputation.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krishnan KP (talk • contribs) 10:47, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Famous People 

message: Now, I do not want to get into an edit war over editing the link to the online LGBT support group. Hope, we can have a civil discussion in these pages rather than resorting to an edit war.Sundar
It is bonafide material, connected to Anna University. It is a serious discussion/support group. So, if anyone has any genuine concerns with the link, they should put up their concern out here, to be discussed. Brute deletion of material, especially repeated deletion, is highly incourteous. A similar link on SVCE webpage is also being deleted repeatedly. If this continues, I will have to resort to arbitration. Hope people can behave themselves.Ramki 19:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Link removed. See discussion in article on CEG. Threats of "resorting to arbitration" while indulging in such a blatant perversion of the purpose of Wikipedia just sounds juvenile.Jbritto 19:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Link readded. The reason given is nothing, apart from petty namecalling. How the link is a "perversion of the purpose of Wikipedia" is beyond me. If you could provide any clarifying material, it would be appreciated.Ramki 20:28, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: See the discussion in the Talk:College_of_Engineering%2C_Guindy article for a better explanation. Sundar is honest (as expected) in admitting that visibility for the group is one of the reasons why you feel it needs to be in the article. This, in my opinion, and many others', goes against the purpose of wikipedia (see links below). I understand that there is hostility towards LGBT groups in many places, and the person repeatedly deleting without explanation is probably doing it with malice, but there really is very little reason to argue that this group is relevant and important to Anna University. It is just as irrelevant to AU as a group that promotes straight sexual orientation, or a group that strives to save the six-petalled adyar water-lilly. Jbritto 22:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Let me ask you this - how many student groups are there at Anna U.? My guess would be a lot. Wikipedia is not in the habit of selecting certain student groups to highlight at a given university. In fact, if you read WP:EL, you'll notice that this fits nicely under "links to avoid", criteria number 3 and 12. --Bachrach44 13:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  External Links / Queer Anna 

message: As it stands now, this article serves for describing the history of Anna University up to the split, where Anna University, Chennai serves as the article for the new entity. This is not my doing, but as this is the status quo for more than a year, it represents at least some consensus. I ask that any changes to this situation be discussed here first. --Muhandes (talk) 19:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: First, I did not change "is" to "was". Someone else changed the "was" to "is", against consensus, and I reverted and asked to discuss here first. As to what I think the correct one is, see discussion below with BabuOnWiki who made a similar suggestion to what you suggested and my answer to him. In short, the article follows the UGC list. Anyway, I suggest you comment there. --Muhandes (talk) 12:27, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current situation 

message: Hi people, for your kind info, Anna Univ Chennai now again got its status changed to Unitary univ without any affiliation providing facilities. For that, Anna Universities of Technology is created in many zones viz. Chennai(CPT, Campus), Kovai, Madurai, Trichy, Nellai. 
Anna University is a unitary univ combining four colleges - CEG, MIT, ACT and SAP. Other Govt/Govt aided colleges come under Anna University of Technology situated at the respective zones. Anna University will be responsible for Research and Academics alone. This information is authenticated s I've got this from a Prof of MIT. Soon, website will be created separately for University and University of Technologies. Wait and watch for updates.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babuonwiki (talk • contribs) 12:04, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the information. Once a reliable source for this is available, it should be added to the article. --Muhandes (talk) 12:26, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

text: I'm afraid I don't follow. Is anyone stopping you from updating Anna University, Chennai or this article with data from reliable sources? What exactly does anyone need to decide about? --Muhandes (talk) 20:04, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Unsourced alumni list

message: I've corrected the locality of this GCE many times, but somehow it is reverted. So let me place an authenticated references here. It is Govt. College of Engg., Bargur and not Govt. College of Engg., Bargurbhinmal!
*Official site
*Anna University of Technology, CBE site
Please follw the above links. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 04:44, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize. I wanted to revert the citation needed tag which was added to the hatnote, and by mistake reverted this edit as well. It was not my intention to dispute this obvious name change. --Muhandes (talk) 05:13, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  GCE Bargur 

message: The bill to re-merge the universities was passed on 14 September 2011. I read however, that this is "paving the way for the merger", and does not actually merge the universities back. Could someone comment on what more is required for the actual merge to occur? I propose not to merge the articles until the actual merge. --Muhandes (talk) 05:17, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Legislation will be sent to dept. concerned and they'll publish it in the Tamil Nadu Govt. Gazette. Once it is published in gazette it becomes an act and after which the university will announce the merger and calling back the vice-chancellors. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 05:34, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update September 2011 

message: This article means that a new unitary non-affiliating Anna University, Chennai was created. If so, Is that proved in the so called Anna University, Chennai's official website? (Don't refer AUTCBE) Anna University was split and new universities of technology was formed. The parent univ's authority and control was changed and former was in existence till now with a different name. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 05:58, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If I understand correctly, you are suggesting to Merge Anna University, Chennai into Anna University so this article maintains continuity. Your view is that in 2007 five technological universities were split from the main one and the main one renamed, not as the article suggests, the main one was split into six universities and ceased to officially exist. If this is indeed what you are proposing, you may want to change this into a formal merger proposal. As for the facts, I think your view definitely has its supporting sources, e.g. lately this. However, the UGC does not see it this way. If you look at the UGC List of State Universities you see that all the institutes with "Anna University" have establishment date of 2006 or later. Does anyone have access to the text of the Act or Bill that officially did the split? --Muhandes (talk) 07:24, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

text: I am sorry that I have to run and will not have time to give this the attention it requires until tomorrow night. In the meantime, as I said above, since the current situation is more than a year old, if you believe Anna University, Chennai should be merged into Anna University, you should start a formal merge process and let editors who might have a different opinion a chance to comment. --Muhandes (talk) 13:25, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

text: I had a chance to look at the Act and indeed I don't see any mention that the original university ceased to exist in this Act. I also don't see any mention of the creating of four other universities, is that something that can be found on another Act? Anyway, I do not object merging the articles (which would also replace the "was" with "is", as well as change the other five articles) but I repeat what I said above: since this is the situation in Wikipedia for over a year, I think a formal merge process should be started to let other editors voice their opinion before changing it. You will definitely want to notify WP:INEI of the merge discussion as well. --Muhandes (talk) 16:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This is for the guardian of this page to note that Merger of all Anna Universities into single one has been sanctioned by the Govt. of Tamil Nadu. The G.O has been released in DIPR which could be viewed here. This press release is in Tamil. So I request to include this unification in Wikipedia. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 12:05, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
