Cleanup

I think this article requires a cleanup, it has much potential to explain the benifit of one institution but do we need to repeat the IEE and IIE articles telling about a long pre-IET history; would one paragraph, with appropriate links, not do the same but focuses primarily on the IET alone? The listing of grades could be better presented (a table?) or even removed with a link to the website. Its very easy to get carried away in an article and pan it out with history and hard facts but little essence. Djegan 20:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have performed a cleanup (and removed the tag). The changes made:

Removed history of IEE and IIE (these can be found on the individual pages).
Added section on "Purpose and function" (moved from IEE page) as this pretty well describes what the IET does.
Formatted "Qualifications" section with headers.
Removed IET.tv section as this was a copy and paste from IET website

Sydney office

I see that a reference to a Sydney office has recently added. As the IET's location page doesn't mention it, there might be merit in providing a link for details? David Biddulph (talk) 12:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

as far as i know, we don't have a Sydney office, all the mail and correspondance is directed to the Hon. Secretary. David for the Branch, and Myself, George (Hon Chair for YMS). NeoDeGenero (talk) 14:13, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Qualification equivalence

The important point of the Sydney Accord relevant to this article is the qualification equivalence that it endorses. In particular it equates the engineering HNC with the bachelors degree for HNCs prior to 1987. This allows engineers who achieved their HNCs prior to 1987 to obtain the Incorporated Engineer designation and membership. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.30.2.56 (talk) 19:18, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Provided office space?

"...it has also provided office space for WES since 2005."

"Provided office space for" is minor and nonencyclopedic item that does not belong here. Furthermore, this is something that could change on any day.

The Wikipedia is laced with items that are unimportant and furthermore, they could change on any day or at any instant. In contrast, there are items of some permanence. It is very unlikely that the seat of government of the United Kingdom will leave London, of that of the United States will leave Washington, D.C., or that of Japan will leave Tokyo, or that of Russia will leave Moscow.

In contrast, the headquarters of NATO could leave Brussels and be moved to a place like one of these on relatively short notice: Amsterdam, Bonn, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Luxembourg City, Manchester, Milan, Norfolk, Virginia, Oslo, Rheims, Stuttgart, Toronto, or York. 98.67.164.2 (talk) 00:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
