Independent

'It is the largest independent employer in Bristol.' What does that mean? Independent of what? 109.158.6.129 (talk) 12:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Junior doctorate

What is a junior doctorate? 109.158.6.129 (talk) 12:59, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cluttered

This page feels cluttered. There is a lot about disparate stories from the University's recent history. The University's history has its own dedicated page. I think some elements from the history section would be better merged into there. Brizzle95 (talk) 00:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still think the page is cluttered, and want to move some individual stories from the history subheading to the history page. I would like to hear opinions from other editors first, as this could be a significant change. Brizzle95 (talk) 10:00, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Proposal

I propose merging the Controversy section into the History of the University of Bristol. It would be more in line with standard practice to have these stories in the detailed history page. It would also help clean up the main page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brizzle95 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== The West Country Challenge ==
-Would you like to win up to £250 in Amazon vouchers for participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge|The West Country Challenge]]?
-The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge|The West Country Challenge]] will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about [[Bristol]], [[Somerset]], [[Devon]], [[Cornwall]] and the [[Isles of Scilly]], [[Dorset]], [[Wiltshire]] and [[Gloucestershire]], like this one.
-The format will be based on Wales's successful [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon|Awaken the Dragon]] which saw [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Article improvements and creations|over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs]]. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
-Work on any of the items at:
-*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Core articles|Core articles]]
-*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Missing article hotlist|Missing article hotlist]]
-*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Missing photograph hotlist|Missing photograph hotlist]]
-or other articles relating to the area.
-There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:
-*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Bristol|Bristol]] (Day 1-3)
-*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Cornwall|Cornwall and Scilly]] (Day 4-6)
-*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Devon|Devon]] (Day 7-9)
-*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Dorset|Dorset]] (Day 10-12)

-== Orphaned references in [[:University of Bristol]] ==
-I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:University of Bristol]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
-<b>Reference named "THE World University Rankings 2015-16":</b><ul>
-<li>From [[Imperial College London]]: {{cite web|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2016/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25|title=World University Rankings 2015-16|accessdate=1 October 2015|work=Times Higher Education}}</li>

-I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. [[User:AnomieBOT|AnomieBOT]][[User talk:AnomieBOT|<font color="#888800">⚡</font>]] 10:26, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
