Is Jack Higgins the author really a UWL graduate? I can't find any corroboration.

I was wondering the same thing, a search on Google has thrown up a couple of links (here and here, but I'm not entirely convinced - for the time being I'll remove him Twrist 12:56, 7 Apr 2005 (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] Copyright violation?

Chunks of the article appear to be copied from the official site, in this edit. Specifically, the first two paragraphs of the History section and much of the third, as well as most of the "The Old College" subsection, appear to be plagiarized from this source. -- makomk 18:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, no. I wrote the edit you are referring to, by the looks of things, and it wasn't copied from anywhere. I had a burst of enthusiasm after reading DTW Price! :) - I have noticed that the official site and the wikipedia article have 'converged' somewhat though, and I'm not sure how to account for it. It is perhaps true that we are 'sharing' information, but I have spotted sentences which I have written in the wikipedia article appear in the Guardian amongst other places, so its all rather odd!
