This message is regarding the page Oxford University Conservative Association. Please stop removing content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 02:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the above, my apologies - you were removing text from an awfully bloated (and vandalized) article, [1] and rightfully so. In the future, leaving even a brief note in your edit summaries to the effect of "removing nonsense" or "cleaning up vandalism" can help avoid confusion. I hope my previous notice didn't scare you off, and that if you still have valuable contributions to make, that you'll make them. Cheers! --PeruvianLlama(spit) 02:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trinity chapel

I deleted "and Trinity's 17th century Baroque chapel was the first in Oxford not to be built in Gothic style" because it oversimplifies a complex issue. For example, the chapel of Brasenose (mid-17th century to Trinity's late 17th-century) is far from purely Gothic. That's not to say that it doesn't have Gothic features (especially with regard to windows), but the layout and much of the decoration is non-Gothic. As Pevsner puts it (Oxfordshire p.40):

[...] Brasenose Chapel, the best and most telling example of the transitional state of architecture and decoration before Wren. The chapel is attached to a dog-legged cloister[*], and the forms of this, including upright ovals, are completely free from the Gothic as well as the Nicholas Stone past. If of anything they make one think of the Hawksmoor future. The chapel itself is not as determined. The windows are some simply Gothic, some of the allusive Gothic of Oriel, Univ., and Wadham, but the portal is of Nicholas Stone character, with columns and a wide-open pediment. There are urns instead of pinnacles, again oddly Hawksmoorian, but there are crockets in the place where the parapet curves up to a climax.

[* since partly filled in with what is now the Hulme Common room, of course.]

[edit] J Sainsbury

Hi. Please DO NOT add jokes to Wikipedia as you did on the J Sainsbury page. Students use Wikipedia for research and it's not nice having to wade through vandalised pages and having to guess what is correct and what is false. In the future, you may need to use Wikipedia for research and I doubt you would like seeing an article crucial to an essay or exam vandalised. Further vandalism can see yourself (and other Oxford University users) banned from Wikipedia. AA Milne 10:40, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
