[edit] Article merge

I have merged the article Academic dress of the University of Hertfordshire into this one. aliceinlampyland 19:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Content!!!

Is it me or is everything now focussing more on engineering and law? Simply south 21:32, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

This is going too far. This seems like bias (at least to me). Simply south 21:06, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motto

Someone has changed the "motto" section in the infobox from "Building Futures" to "Seek Knowledge Throughout Life". They are both correct.

The University's coat of arms has the motto "Seek Knowledge Throughout Life". The slogan currently used by the University is "Building Futures".

Which should we list in the infobox? The Wednesday Island 01:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biased

The article is promoting the university and is not being objective, e.g. 'word class', 'leading institution' are biased.

[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.

[edit] Edits

Reverted previous edit as it referred to the university as a polytechnic "still going strong" even though its status changed in '92, plus who has stated that the university "still remains predominantly as an engineering establishment"? londonsista | Prod 00:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
