[edit] Devolving?
Uhm... Is this project devolving to the point of fiction?
Close. It's a project about an evolving work of fiction. Haunti 17:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Eta Beta Pi
I thought that was "Eat-a Bit-a Pie" in a stereotypical Italian accent. Could be wrong though. Vitriol 19:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "The Cunning Artificer" sculpture ?
Should there be mention of the Bernard Pearson/"The Cunning Artificer" sculpture of the UU somewhere in this entry ? IIRC it was sold in 7 or 8 parts, in a limited edition of 250 complete sets ... sold out many years ago, so an entry can't be considered an advert. There is a mention of the scuplture on Bernard Pearson's page, but no mention of it when you get here - IanG, 18:18, 3 Dec 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Address of UU?
Does the UU have an official and known street address in Ankh Morpork? If yes, it should IMHO be mentioned in the article.
[edit] Tower of Art Inaccuracy
Whomsoever wrote the segment about the Tower of Art made an understandable but rather glaring error in calculation. Yes, 800 feet of height divided by 8,888 steps yields a step height of 1.08"...but that's a linear scale. The steps are described as a winding staircase on the interior of the tower, much akin to a lighthouse. This being the case, the step height depends greatly on pitch between spiral levels and step depth. Since these variables are presently unknown, I would humbly suggest that the mention of step height be removed as the present assertion is incorrect and no viable corrective method exists. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.107.67.88 (talk) 19:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC). 199.107.67.88 19:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Double Former Archchancellor list
In this article, there are two lists, one of the "Former Archchancellors" and one of the "Previous Archchancellors". Maybe I don't get the joke there, but as far as I see it, the two lists should be merged. 141.76.40.160 13:22, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Making Terry Pratchett a Featured Article
This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure.
A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too?
The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 14:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Flead
Isn't Dead Flead acting as a bouncer also for the club he is haunting? Noteable? Lots42 (talk)
