[edit] College templates

I have created a series of templates for former students of Oxford's various colleges. There are still plenty to do, but if you want to add one of the templates to your user page then feel free. See Wikipedia:Userboxes/Education/United Kingdom/University of Oxford for complete list. Please contact me if you would like another college fast-tracked...

'Her Majesty The Queen is Visitor...'- I thought that Brenda was the Visitor for ALL British universities (technically, at least). Is there any way in which UC Ox is unique therefore? Badgerpatrol 15:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Don't think so. The Bishop of Winchester is Visitor of Magdalen College, Oxford, for example, not the Queen Tobyox 04:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Charles Sorley: University College, Oxford (as his article and this one states), or one of the colleges of Cambridge (see Talk: Charles Sorley)? Ben davison 00:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sentence

Her Majesty The Queen is Visitor.

I have moved this sentence here since, I think someone can put this sentence in a more appropiate context. It does seem a bit random having it after one master, and another set of masters. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pizza1512 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC).

Well it makes perfect sense as a complete sentence to me. A visitor is a peculiar legal position and the queen has that position.--Alf ^melmac 12:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable alumni

This section of the article looks like an example farm at present, and it's dominating the article body at the expense of the actual subject matter. I've tagged with the appropriate template since I don't want to make a second revert in the space of 24 hours after yet another example has been added. However, I'll be bold and tackle the whole section in a few days if there's no objection to tidying it up and reducing it to pertinent and relevant examples. For some context on this problem see this discussion and for an example of how such sections could be handled more effectively see this. Coldmachine^Talk 21:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't agree. The college is important indeed because of its alumni, so it's normal that they take up a big part of the article. --Nando65 (talk) 18:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
