Reel North is a phenomenon in its own right. Not-for-profit and produced on a zero budget, it is only UK television programme made by undergraduates to have been awarded Best Regional Programme (Royal Television Society North-west Awards, 2006). Nominated for RTS awards three years running, the programme has a track record that is unique, pioneering and ground-breaking in terms of the history of city broadcasting in the UK. The suggestion that it should not have its own page is like saying Georgie Best should only be included under 'Manchester United'.

Hitting Home (made by masters degree students at Salford University) is a strand of documentaries dating from the 1990's that has attracted a string of awards. It is also a brand in its own right.

I agree. The shows stand on their own merit. --RichardLetts 06:03, 26 November 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.

[edit] Fire

Anyone wishes to include the fire incident at the Lowrey bar? I was there, but nobody gave away anything. p.s- there are amazing pictures in circulation. I am sure I can get my hands on few. (14:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Here

This article has a lot of bad formatting and needs a good copyedit. The phrase... "is avaliable to see here" (with here being linked to a shop or a personal webspace) is not really permitted per Wikipedia's Style Guide. Bold text should be used sparingly, and lists should be re-written as flowing prose or converted to tables. Jhamez84 10:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Arms-salford-city.png

Image:Arms-salford-city.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] duncan edwards building?

according to Eddie Colman's page here on wikipedia, he has a building mentioned after him at the uni, which is mentioned on this page, but Eddie Colman's page also states there's a Duncan Edwards building, which i can't see mentioned here. can someone who knows the uni/the area, confirm this?? then either update this page, or Eddie Colman's page. thanks. 194.221.133.226 (talk) 14:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

This page features an old version of the university logo, which was officially replaced several years ago. Is it possible to update it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.191.11 (talk) 00:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
