Talk:University of Ibadan

message: I am trying to improve the Hugh Trenchard, 1st Viscount Trenchard article.  Is the University of Ibadan's Trenchard Hall named after Hugh Trenchard?  If so what was Hugh Trenchard's involvement in the university and does anyone know of any reliable sources on this matter? Greenshed (talk) 00:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Having read two of the books in the 'References' section (the ones by Mellanby and Tamuno), I can confirm that much of what is written in the article intro is corroborated in both or either of them. Unfortunately it is some time since I read either of them and I no longer have immediate access to both books. Hopefully someone else can provide page numbers so that the article is supported by better supported by citations.

replies: text: Please do not remove citation needed tags unless there are either footnotes to citations supporting the text or links to articles which include independent reliable sources which verify the text. Linking to an article which mentions the University with no supporting sources is equivalent to having no sources in this article, it only muddies the water. Please refer to WP:BURDEN.

replies: text: See your talk page and the edit summaries. I notice most of your edits consist of inserting  comments on wikipedia pages. Gomez3000adams (talk) 07:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As you are now using ad hominem arguments, this discussion is stale. I have requested a third opinion as I have explained in detail why the embedded list needs to meet the WP:BLP requirements for sources but you are intransigent and prefer to edit-war. Fæ (talk) 07:43, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Fæ is correct on this. As you are saying that a living person did something, there needs to be a source, the same as there needs to be a source on their individual pages. I have reverted to the last edit with the tags still in place. Do not continue to remove the tags, as they are properly placed. Continuing to remove the tags constitutes vandalism. --Fbifriday (talk) 08:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have also tagged the page as needing more sources. --Fbifriday (talk) 08:36, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure I agree with you on this one and I may pursue the dispute further, perhaps with an administrator. However I will not revert the changes (for now) Gomez3000adams (talk) 08:37, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: References/Citations

message: There is a discussion ongoing on the talk page of the University of Ibadan as to whether or not citations are needed for each person listed as an alumni of the university. Myself and another editor think there are, as they are essentially amounting to BLPs, and WP:BLP says there must be citations, or the material will be removed. It's no different than saying they are an alumni on their individual pages, there must be a source saying they attended. The opposing editor didn't particularly make any points other than that he read a book which corroborates the article's content, but can't provide page numbers, and removed the tags, violating WP:3RR in the process. The question here is: Does each name listed as an alumni need a source, and if so, should a Citation Needed tag be placed next to each one? --Fbifriday (talk) 08:52, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I stumbled upon this argument. As I really hate arguments, and this is about a not so very long list, I took it upon myself to add references to the list, as well as originating pages. Best regards --Muhandes (talk) 10:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Done. --Muhandes (talk) 12:10, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Yes, having thought about it I agree. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
