LordHarris Just a few quick thoughts looking over the article in brief:

You first need to work on the lead, take a look at WP:Lead as it needs expanding in line with the MOS.
Second try not to have a list of departments, rather incorporate them into prose, perhaps adding news stories or university articles relating to the departments research and staff.
Third I would recommend creating a new article for alumni of southampton and add a main article link to the new article with a short paragraph mentioning a few of the leading members of staff.
Most important you need to add lots more references, there are dozens of news stories of interest and notability on the BBC news website alone relating to the university. Try expanding the article with these sources.
Also with the history section for example try adding references from any material released on the university e.g. a history book of the university or from the university prospectus which you could request. I think the article is coming along but it still needs a lot of work. Good job so far. LordHarris (talk) 19:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
