[edit] James Cook University (Cairns campus) merge

In the meantime, I've put merge tags on that article, as this main article could do with a bit of an expansion with the faculties, campuses and so forth. I'm also re-stubbing this article for a while, so if in a few days no-one objects to the merge and/or consensus is to merge, then I'm merging this campus back to the main article, then I will remove the stub tag. --Arnzy (talk  contribs) 03:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


  • EDIT* The Cairns Campus actually DOES have a lot to offer- it's one of the leaders in Tropical Biology in the world, and some of the most famous researchers and scientists in Australia are professors there. It is NOT the same as Townsville, and should definately be given it's own page. Do your research, you will see it is in fact a separate place, with individual attributes and accolades. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.47.145.194 (talk • contribs)
If you can find any references of that, then I'll consider it. I'll check back in a few days, then may merge the Cairns Campus stuff back into the main article should references that may warrant its own page not be found. --Arnzy (talk contribs) 15:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I've merged the Cairns Campus back to the main article. --Arnzy (talk contribs) 10:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JCU Cairns Pictures

For better illustration, could someone from the Cairns campus please upload a picture two, as currently there are only pictures of the Douglas and Singapore Campuses. I'll request this at Commons as well. Thanks! Niël 02:13, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

The page looks better now is more structured. Also, I changed the feel of some of the lists that caused the page to look bland and boring. Let me know if there's some other aspect that I've missed that would justify a "clean-up" tag. Niël 12:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Campus: Urban

I consider Douglas, Queensland to be distinctly suburban. Right?--Jeff79 (talk) 15:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I would have to agree with that - I changed the article as appropriate. If anyone has different opinions, feel free to continue discussing it here. —Niël 00:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
