Deletion
I deleted most of the links to the official websites in accordance with Misplaced Pages guidelines. Anyway, users should be able to get to them via the main page of the official site. See Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not for more info. Please leave any comments you might have about this edit on this talk page. Thanks! ;) --Jtalledo (talk) 07:41, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Famous People
I am assuming that these are people that attended the school? Thus we should say "notible former students". I see that for some schools, MIT doesn't list theirs even though 61 of them won the nobel peace prize. Harvard has a lot and created a seperate page for Notable non-graduate alumni of Harvard (maybe that would make sense here with so many. Or we could could narrow down the list to the more notible but I think some combination would be good. The most famous would be used in the article and we could have the full list on another page. I also like the idea of sorting by category not just alphabetical full listing. Like with Indiana_University_Bloomington#Notable_alumni Andrew Powell 04:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps the Famous people section may be merged to the autonomous universities they originally studied? Howard the Duck | talk, 15:54, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

No motos (sounds Japanese huh?) vision, mission statement? I need this for translations.--Jondel 06:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
University of the Philippines people
As suggested by many, I had put together prominent UP faculty, students and alumni under List of University of the Philippines people. I realized that prominent people from many universities overseas are represented as such in Misplaced Pages. Furthermore, the listing of outstanding people from the University of the Philippines has stretched that entry beyond 34kb. The UP entry is way too long for a Misplaced Pages article. Hopefully, the List of University of the Philippines people will be a more cohesive alternative. 7258 14:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Clarification of CU Names
From UP WEBSITE: The Board also approved the clarification of the official names of the UP constituent universities (CUs). The official names of the CUs should not include the preposition “in”. According to BOR discussions, CUs which have been using the preposition give the impression that they are merely a presence in the area. To highlight their autonomous character, official names of the CUs are UP Diliman, UP Los Baños, UP Manila, UP Visayas, UP Mindanao, UP Open University, and UP Baguio.
The satellite campuses shall be referred to as follows: UP Diliman Extension Program in Pampanga, UP Diliman Extension Program in Olongapo, UP Manila School of Health Sciences, UP Visayas Cebu College, and UP Visayas Tacloban College.
So, it should be University of the Philippines Diliman not University of the Philippines, Diliman which is the current naming convention here at the Wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.1.53.15 (talk) 21:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Up centennial logo.png
Image:Up centennial logo.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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.

U.P. Centennial Year
I have started an article devoted to the U.P. Centennial Year. Please add to it and make sure to add references. Also, I hope someone can write about the kick-off on January 8.Nixenzo (talk) 12:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- On April 29, 2008, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law the University of the Philippines (UP) Charter of 2008, Republic Act No. 9500 at the UP Library Conference Hall in Lahug, Cebu. She also approved P 500 million budget which would be released over a period of five year to develop studies in engineering, research and development. --Florentino floro (talk) 13:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- This is unrelated to the centennial. I would imagine that UP has a budget every year. maxsch (talk) 17:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
UP Charter of 2008
- The UP charter of 2008 is the first amendment or total revision since its founding charter; it is a great mistake to consider the new charter statute, as a petty budget measure; the P 500 million budget is just a minute part of the law. So I will have to add it not in the centennial section but in the upper main section. --Florentino floro (talk) 06:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what it is about the new Charter that "totally revises" the founding charter. Your edit seems to indicate that the new charter declares UP a "National University", but this randomly selected version of the page from 2007 already calls UP a "national university." What would be notable about this new legislation would be some things that it changes in either the status or mission of UP. Thus far you have not included any such information. All you have added is that Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed it and that it includes a budget. I'm sorry, but I still don't see notability. maxsch (talk) 18:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Allow me to be more specific. The article states that "the 'University Charter', specified the function of the University, which is to provide advanced instruction in literature, philosophy, the sciences, and arts, and to give professional and technical training." Does the new charter change the function of the University? Does it simply renew the mission? I have not read the new charter, so it may in fact "totally revise" the old charter. But it is not enough to just say that. You have to describe how it revises the old charter, and at the same time, what elements of the old charter it keeps. The appropriate place for this edit would be at the bottom of the history section, but before the part about the Centennial. Unless the new charter is in fact a part of the Centennial celebration, in which case it would belong in that section. maxsch (talk) 18:42, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
