Given the existence of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Race_(rowing) would it not be more appropriate to have a link to that page and move the information about the 'great' race there?

I don't think DAG Technology should be merged. The University of Waikato initially created it - that's all - and now it's made by Endace.

Fair use rationale for Image:University of Waikato logo.svg

Image:University of Waikato logo.svg 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Premier business school?

A claim is made that the University of Waikato School of Management is New Zealand's premier business school. Two references are given for this. [1] supports this claim, but is obviously written by the university, not by an independent third-party. Language on this site such as "We are committed to providing..." make it very clear that this is simply advertising. Other pages on topuniversities.com are not just advertising, but this page is unacceptable as a reference.

The other reference given is a University of Waikato republishing of data from the Performance Based Research Fund. PBRF information is reliable, but this page doesn't make the claims the anon is making (the word "premier" does not appear on that page at all).

The anon claims in an edit summary that "QS rankings website cannot just write unfactual information, it is considered illegal", but this is written by the University, not by QS, and the University can make marketing claims about itself. However, Wikipedia is not the place to do this.-gadfium 18:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
