[edit] I Deleted Rianna Ponting as a "notable alumni"
I mean seriously...
This page still needs a lot of work and also a better logo.
PS, sorry if the large header image isn't allowed (I wasn't sure).

Treelovinhippie: I think that use of that picture from the UOW website's header is probably improper, not to mention that it is so small that it doesn't really do much for the article. Also it should not be tagged as a logo. Why not wander around campus with a camera during O-Week or first week and get some new pics. You'll look just like a fresher :) Bilious 03:08, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Should the university's vision really be quoted right near the very start of an encyclopedia article? Isn't that more like an advertisement?
Didn't it start as part of UNSW not UTS?
- Yeah it did, and UOW (then still part of UNSW) was responsible for creation of a then-major version of Unix (UNSW 01) which appears on the Unix timeline elsewhere in Wikipedia, perhaps it should get a menion. Also I find it odd that Apple gets a mention but UOW's connections with SLUG is missing, there are way more Linux labs than Mac. Quolnok 16:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
The UOW main page should have an additional contents number ' 9. Student Organisations', where the the SRC/WUSA/UniCentre and their functions/buldings can be discussed. '10. Campus Life' where the UniBar/DuckPond lawn articles can be added.
Hey eople its an advertisement. And somebody has the net connection speed offered by the Univ.
"+many more" <--- What the hell? This is an encyclopaedia article, not a bloody advertisement.
[edit] Advert
I had to add Template:Advert because it does read like an advert. It reads like a copy and paste from their prospectus - X201 13:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I have added the advert tag now. The introduction is complete puff and not from a neutral point of view. The whole article has no sources outside the University's web site. It does read like an advert. It needs cleaning up. I am sure it can be done. Eewrite the intro, add some sources and make sure nothing is copied from the university prospectus or reads as if it is. --Bduke 11:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
