Wow, that white text with the yellow background is a nightmare to read. Phoenix2 7 July 2005 05:12 (UTC)
"Sandile Basuthwe" never existed.
Please change the infobox to wiki-standard University infobox. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.49.109.199 ( talk • contribs)

Sorry to rain on your parade, but there's no consensus to support your change. Ardenn 21:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Is the factual accuracy of this page actually in dispute, or is this just because of the dispute over the infobox? If the latter, I think there's a different tag needed there. -- Bdoserror 22:39, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
OK, I'm the 'Malaysian' that started this whole debate/argument. I still don't understand what's the issue here. Anyway, you guys should look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Universities, Infobox, Infobox Templates, and Template_talk:Infobox_University (for those interested in using the University infobox template). BTW, ardenn, I'm not offended but you should really think about what you said. Says a lot about you as a person. That said, I see many wikipedians acting as if wikipedia is their little playground of sorts. They don't realise the importance of wikipedia, that is to eventually be an .. encyclopedia. Not your virtual space to edit as you see fit, or edit as how you like it. It's a community project, and hence, many of you tend to take advantage of its leniency when it comes to issues like these. Standardisation is being done through many Wiki Projects. There is a reason for standardising articles, not only factually but aesthetically, that is to ensure that it is accessible to all. The debate specifically for UAlberta's page started since last year (refer talk above). It shows the inherent problem with not using standardised formats. -- 60.50.251.239 11:34, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Please see Template talk:Infobox University#wiki-only table and cleanup. I proposed added options to customize the look and feel of a university infobox. An infobox is great for standardization of data and making it easier for people to find similar info among many articles, but certain customizations can make infoboxes more interesting without sacrificing standards. As it is now, with so many optional fields, the boxes end up looking pretty different anyway. -- Usgnus 03:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to point out that in the infobox, under the mascots category, the female's mascot "patches" goes to a link of actual patches... the kind of patches you wear on clothes. The actual mascot is not a 'patch', its name is 'Patches'.
I'm not sure how to remove the link, but it should be changed.
Sorry, I'm very new at this, and it might seem like an obvious thing to anyone who lives in Edmonton or attends the UofA, but for the sake of people who aren't as familiar with the University's operations I was wondering if it would be appropriate to mention something about the relationship between the Faculté Saint-Jean and the Campus Saint-Jean under the Campuses Section, in a similar way that the Augustana Faculty is mentioned in the section about the Augustana Campus? RAult 11:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering if the Athletics program at the Augustana Campus (which is mostly ACAC and totally separate from the Golden Bears/Pandas) should be given any mention under the Athletics section of the UofA page, or if that should be reserved for some future Augustana Faculty page? RAult 11:05, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I think all the people associated with the University should be moved to their own list. GreenJoe 02:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
There's a South Campus as well, about 2km south of the Main Campus. Not sure what it's purpose is, I just commute past it every morning. Miken32 ( talk) 02:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
The reputation section seems like a sprawling mess right now. Whats more, a lot of it is out of date. Would anyone like to take a stab at taking it out of list form and putting it into a coherent couple of paragraphs? TastyCakes ( talk) 16:23, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
I tried updating the Thes-QS Ranking in 2009. But although I could update the new references for the rankings in the text, it would not let me update the info box references. Junaidasm( talk) 15:20, 11 October 2009
I'm inclined to think this section should be deleted. None of the other university articles I've looked at include current faculty, at least not faculty that aren't exceptional in some way. I'm going to delete a big chunk of the list, please let me know if you object. TastyCakes ( talk) 19:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Aren't faculty members already in a union? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.173.77 ( talk) 19:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, recently the uofa redesigned the institutional logo, they also added a new slogan that reads "Uplifting the whole people". The new slogan though, only appears in a promotional video, and I cant see it anywhere else. anyways, a think that slogan is kinda gaaay. Also I dont like that much the new logo, which is pretty similar, but it drops the quaecumque vera. anyways, I thing wikipedia should change it, cheers :)[[File: promo video displaying the new logo and the new slogan]].

I feel that these photos do not belong in an encyclopedia. The excessive post+processing makes them feel fake and unprofessional. While their artistic merit is open to debate, I don't feel they are appropriate for Wikipedia. I will take new, properly exposed, documentary-style photos if the community doesn't object.
