University of New South Wales articles edit
Hey friend. Why are you creating so many articles with just a template? You should add content, or someone will probably delete them.--Pattont/c 19:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- That's quite a big template box you've created. I like the idea of combining all of the various boxes into one, but I don't know that it needs to contain the names of all the schools; shouldn't the faculties be enough? Tim Bennett (talk) 00:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah I'm slowly adding content to those pages and should be done by the end of the day. I thought that the schools were probably too much and was looking for a way to code it so the faculties could be expanded and closed. Any ideas? Irishroyalty (talk) 01:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, not really my strong point! Tim Bennett (talk) 03:25, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

- As one of the administrators dealing a good deal with university articles, I suggest that you not try articles on the individual schools. Terminology varies by country, but I think your schools correspond to American Departments -- Department of English, Department of History, etc, and your Faculties correspond to what an American university would be more likely to call Colleges or Schools within the university. If so, the "School" level for USW is greater subdivision than is usually called for -- check the articles for the University of California or Columbia for examples of how it is generally done. We do have a few articles for individual academic departments, but only the very most famous--articles about others are almost always deleted. If you do have one or two such departments, that's one thing, but not all the departments at USW -- or anywhere else -- are likely to be at that level. So what I'd like to have done is combine the articles and turn the present School articles into Redirects. I can help you do that, if you like. And, by the way, you really ought to read our FAQ (on businesses and other organisations). Additionally, we don;t generally list individual people in the university template--rather, you ought to do an article "Vice-Chancellors of the USW", in which you can list them with links to their individual articles DGG (talk) 04:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hi thanks for your much valued input! I can understand what you are saying about our schools and indeed in some cases these schools are not worth noting. However UNSW is a very "school" based university as compared to somewhere in Australia like the University of Sydney which is a more faculty based university. At UNSW the faculty is not generally famous whereas the school is. Except for cases like the faculty of law which is in effect the school of law plus the school of taxation, very few faculties are well know. It is their schools such as the School of Computer Science Engineering that get credited in the press and journals with discoveries. In my opinion the faculties, except for the small ones, are often purely administrative. This seems to differ right across Australia with Sydney having Faculties, UNSW having Schools and RMIT having Colleges and Schools. I probably don't have anywhere enough experience to decide whether to go with individual school articles or not but at the moment i think the redirect idea, at least until a school can have enough information to be a viable article, is great. Also point noted on the Vice-Chancellors in the template point. Thanks for your adivce! Irishroyalty (talk) 10:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
