[edit] Bar 12

I thought this bar was closed ? Redwing 08:15, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not that I want to be picky about two letters...

...but can we please refer to Tavish Scott as a "Liberal Democrat" politician, which is how I imagine he and most other people would describe him (and is the term generally used on Wikipedia, as far as I've seen), rather than "Liberal Demoratic". Unless the Labour politicians are to become "Labourite" :-) —Whouk (talk) 01:27, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I've changed it to "Labour/Liberal Democrat MP", thus avoiding the need to use the party name as an adjective... Shimgray | talk | 21:32, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] joint 90th

out of about 100 universities. the next sentence makes that seem like a positive thing.

[edit] Motto?

What is the source for the university's motto "nisi sapientia frustra"? Googling that phrase (in quotes), this page is the only result. Searching the university website for "motto" doesn't find anything relevant. And if that is the motto, a translation would be nice. --Vclaw 23:27, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I can't for the life of me remember where I found it now. I think it was from Googling, so the page it was from must have disappeared since. I can't find a source for it now so I've commented it out. —Whouk (talk) 07:29, 16 May 2006 (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:Cdcs logo.png

Image:Cdcs 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.
