Naming convention

Does the Magee Campus not follow the UU usual naming convention; University of Ulster at...?  <font="center" color="#FFFFFF"> Keithology  Talk!  18:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't really know. The University of Ulster at... convention doesn't seem to be used on the main UU website these days. They are using University of Ulster—XX Campus. University of Ulster at Magee redirects here. This place is a bit unusual, as , for obvious reasons, it is not named after a town or city. Most people don't even call it Magee College, but just “Magee”! --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 20:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Infobox material copied from University

To me it seems that the infobox is lengthy and, for those who have read the main UU article, repetitive. It is hard for a reader to pick out the facts that are unique to Magee. I suggest we delete those things that are common to the whole university (coat of arms, logo, motto, chancellor, vc, endowment, budget, colours): this gives prominence to items that are directly relevant to the article, such as provost, location and number of students, and makes it easier to spot things that are missing - such as budget for the campus. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:35, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Any biography... 3.The person has an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography or similar publication." The following have articles in the Dictionary of Irish Biography.

"LEEBODY, Prof. John R., M.A., D.Sc (Queen's Univ.) ; F.I.C.; President McCrea-Magee Presbyterian College, [134] Londonderry. Educ. : Royal Academical Instit.
