[edit] Lufuni website

Attention 81.132.25.144 and other users - links to the Lufuni .co.uk website (or similar sites) will be removed by me without notice. I suggest other editors do the same. That site appears to be an advertising site (or some type of pixel-selling site) of some type and is certainly not being used by Loughborough staff or students. --mintchocicecream 00:14, 17 October 2006 (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.

This was very visible in this article with only the one good ranking for the university being included and all the other ones which tended to rank it way outside the top ten disregarded. I have added a few more . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.99.176.208 (talk) 00:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

The caption of panoramic image taken from the Carillon tower may give the impression that the large blue and white building in the foreground is part of the University, when it is in fact part of Lougborough College (a separate institution) maybe the caption should be changed or the image removed? Also, the images shown on this page seem rather "random", including a couple of departmental buildings (not particularly representative) a hall of residence (again, Hazelrig-Rutland is not the most representative hall, although it is fairly prominent architecturally and close to the entrance) and a pavement of all things.

I agree there's too many images and not enough that are actually useful. If nobody else decides which ones are needed and which ones aren't then I'll decide on Loughborough's behalf. Stefanjcarney 10:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
