== Introductory Statements ==

I have toned down the introductory passage, as was mentioned in the talk page sometime ago. I have tried to keep this section as close to an encyclopedic entry as possible but it may still be a little too strong in terms of institutional bias. Let me know if you think so. The citation for the numbers of applicants per place and the average entry standard was also dead/blocked.

I will update the world rankings table when i get the chance

: In my view it's an improvement, although for me the lead still contains too many broad promotional claims and too little facts. Personally I would like to see research income included, as well as more specific info on world rankings. It is also inaccurate to state that Bristol is generally in the top 30 of world rankings when it is well outside that in at least one of the three major rankings. Better to actually state which ranking it is, or give the placing for all three.[[User:Rangoon11|Rangoon11]] ([[User talk:Rangoon11|talk]]) 01:10, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

::Also, what is up with "associated with eleven Nobel prize winners" (in the lede, and later in the article) - what does "associated with" really mean? [[User:Feketekave|Feketekave]] ([[User talk:Feketekave|talk]]) 16:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

:::Ah - I can answer my own question. This claim comes from an institutional page at Bristol University (no surprises there). The latest Nobel prize winners 'associated' with Bristol are: a French writer who was an exchange student for one academic year; Harold Pinter, whose only connection to Bristol was getting an honorary doctorate from there; Sir Nevill Mott, who was a professor at Bristol for a long stretch before moving to Cambridge [this is the first one so far that most people would count as being substantially associated]; a chemist who was once a post-doc at Bristol... The only Bristol graduate who won a Nobel Prize turns out to be [[Paul Dirac]], a local boy who, according to his Wikipedia entry, did not go to Cambridge right away because of a lack of money, did not study physics at Bristol, and went on to study physics at Cambridge as soon as he had enough funds. With all due respect, the "associated with eleven winners" talk now comes across as potentially NPOV and a little unreal. [[User:Feketekave|Feketekave]] ([[User talk:Feketekave|talk]]) 16:47, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I completely understand your comments on the rankings. I was wary of toning the article down further than the general trend for university pages but having come back to it after a few days it still reads quite strong. And on principle they should all be neutral.

I'll look into sorting that out. I am also updating the rankings further down the article.

:: Have finally made changes to the rankings display although they're not major. I have also removed a single ranking by "newsweek" which was alone and without an active citation (and I couldn't find the original).--[[User:IcyEd|IcyEd]] ([[User talk:IcyEd|talk]]) 02:58, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Coat of Arms

I've just moved this from the article:

Could you possibly update the coat of arms? The one on the page is the alumni coat of arms. The actual coat of arms is slightly different from the one shown on the right. I am a student at the uni and I can't change it.
