[edit] Notable alumni
I can understand some of the removals, but why would some commentators be allowed, when Criminal clothing - a very popular brand, be ignored? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.154.121 (talk) 02:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I joined Wikipedia and created some nice stubs for Criminal clothing. Hope that helps. I will try and find more info on the subjects and add them soon, as I source out more information on them. mefmec —Preceding comment was added at 03:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Industrial Relations
I notice that someone has added a section on the current issues surrounding redundancies. Whatever ones view on this may be, I'm not sure that it is strictly an encyclopedic subject, or even if it is, that the entry in question is written with NPOV.
I think it’s a valuable 'encyclopedic' subject and its important these things are kept up to date. I suppose only good things about Universities are 'encyclopedic'? No. Public money = public interest. The University is also under attack for the way it treats students as well as staff and for the way it continually fails to follow regulations.

[edit] Current Student
The following are current students at Bournemouth University:
- Luti Fagbenle - Formerly played Ali Taylor on TV soap Hollyoaks
He was interviewed in the student paper - however not notable "alumni". --Jabba27 22:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
This article needs a lot of work. Photos, emblem, more information on the history, future developments and initiatives. See other UK universities for examples. Bobbyfletch85 14:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
This uni has a horrible track record for creating successful people. It's no surprise that people are posting jokes on the "notable alumni" section. It just needs a big revamp, this article is bare compared to other university articles. Bobbyfletch85 14:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Logo Controversy?
It might be interesting to note the controversial issue of the new Bournemouth logo which arose a few months ago. The logo cost a substantial amount of money to design and implement, reports suggesting around £200,000 which many students, spearheaded by the University student publication, were upset about. The popular opinion was that the money was mis-spent, that the logo was an unecessary change and that cash could have gone towards bursaries or financing under-funded departments. However, would this be an intruiging fact or would it paint a harsh image of unrest and resentment at the Univeristy? Bobbyfletch85 17:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] University ratings
(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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BU LOGO.png
Image:BU LOGO.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
