UEL

Hi, thanks for the THE citation ... but I still cannot find anywhere on the page cited that UEL was in the top 10. Could you perhaps copy/paste the relevant paragraph here? Thanks again. - Sitush (talk) 18:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

The page has a link to an Excel spreadsheet, which has no URL of its own, which shows the rankings. Please do not remove this again as the citation is correct.

Hi, I'll remove it if the link isn't in the article. You can link to the spreadsheet, I guarantee it. Just copy/paste the area around where the sheet appears in the page here & I'll sort the link for you. - Sitush (talk) 18:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

It is part of the article, but not part of the text - it is a very clear link just to the right of the words. Don't you think that removing the line is a bit unneccessary given that the article very clearly links to the spreadsheet?

Related files The following files will open in their associated programs.

RAE 2008: the results (PDF version)

( File, Size 148.3k ) 

THE Table of Excellence (excel version)

( File, Size 126.5k )

Hi, the policy with links is that they s/b specific (eg: with a book you would state the page number, just as in an academic exercise). Don't worry, I'll sort it out. - Sitush (talk) 19:51, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I've now pointed the link to the PDF version. However, I can still see nothing in there that supports the statement as there is no section ranking just "modern universities". Given my previous, am I rapidly losing my ability to see? <g> - Sitush (talk) 20:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Headings

Regarding this, feel free to revert. But you should fix the headings after that. We usually do not include "the" at the beginning of headings. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Unless "the" is a part of an official title. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I've left The Hostel as I believe The is indeed part of its official title. The same may be true of the Master's Lodge, but I'm not certain so for now I've omitted The. Neilinabbey (talk) 09:29, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your message. I have now added a source reference showing the book's existence. Unfortunately, there are as yet no interviews with the author that can be sourced, nor has the book yet won any awards that can be cited, as it is too new to have done so. Nevertheless, its existence anmd content can be verufied by the reference I have attached. Neilinabbey (talk) 21:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
