I moved the shooting information above all of the lists. Prose before lists. I took off the terrorist label because I really don't think we should be that loose with the definition. Has any political group made a claim. --Gbleem 18:19, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Needs more substance. The grammer is just fine, as it is better than most articles I have seen. Perhaps more can be done if the article reaches featured article status.

• Needs more infomation
• perhaps fewer links on the list. (half the page is links!!!!!)

[edit] Morris Travers

The page refers to Morris Travers as Morris Travers FRS. What's FRS ? If it's a degree, perhaps it could be moved into brackets ? What do you guys think ? Manik Raina 11:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IIS should expand to more places and have more IIS's in the various zones of the country

Indian Institute of Science is presently only based out in Bangalore, which is in southern India. IIS like IIT should infact establish its own brand by having a IIS in each of the 4 zones in large cities not having a IIT.

eg>
South Zone> We already have a IIS in Bangalore
North Zone> IIS could be based in Chandigadh or Gurgaon
West Zone> IIS could be based in Pune
East Zone> IIS could be based in Bhubaneshwar or Jamshedpur

In this way we can have the extension of the IIS brandname to different zones in the country as well as extend the research opportunites to other parts of country too.

[edit] FRS

Fellow of the Royal Society. A link to FRS would be nice.

[edit] Departments and links

The section listing all departments and their weblinks is not required. This information can be obtained from the official website. I suggest we remove this section. It should be more like University of California article. Let us discuss if there is any objection. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 00:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

There are people who like to get the info from Wikipedia as its pages are typically in more readable format as compared to the propritary websites where info may not be optimally organized. Later on some Department will have their own independent pages like that of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research department in IISc.
Keep the section. Vjdchauhan 05:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC).

I can understand your point but I have to disagree a bit. I think this page should not be seen as a replacement for official IISc website content. All the department links are easily available from the main IISc page. We can decide to keep the section but the content of the section should be changed. Instead of addressing each department separately we can do it based on the "divisions" as in this page [1]. This way we can deal with the corresponding departments under the respective divisions. This will make the main article more readable. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 20:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A better photo is needed

We need a better photograph of the main building. The present one (Image:Iisc-Administration Office.jpg) looks like a poor stitch. --Kprateek88(Talk | Contribs) 07:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] City name change

Since the name of the city changed to Bengaluru, I think we need to change the Benagalore in the article to Bengaluru. I'd change it if there is a consensus about it. Lokesh 2000 09:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I have changes all instances of Bangalore to Bengaluru. We may or may not support the name change but it is the official name of the city. I also added a clarification to the lead para. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 17:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
