Stuff that needs to be added to the table

Have added the LSBU logo to the page. If you find (or know) any of the information set out in the university template, please add the info to this page or the table itself.--Dab182 15:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

University ratings

(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)

There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

Category for students and alumni on Wikipedia

Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: London South Bank University has been created for all current LSBU students and alumni editing Wikipedia. MRSC • Talk 11:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Distance

I've removed the lie that it is 5 minutes away from the South Bank. This article is full of spin which needs dealing with. Secretlondon (talk) 21:45, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reputation and ranking of LSBU

LSBU is notable for consistently placing near the bottom of university league tables, whether they are constructed on the basis of teaching, graduate employment or other bases. I inserted a paragraph referencing this, and it was deleted on grounds of "bias". Not clear to me why this is the case, but would welcome others' comments.LeContexte (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that your edit is solely intended to deteriorate　the reputation of the university. You just brought some rankings to make the university look bad. Wikipedia is not a place to deteriorate something. And your refs are not properly done. Please learn how to ref correctly.Wikipedian05 (talk) 00:22, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be assuming my bad faith. If you think these are an unrepresentative selection of rankings and there are others which present a different impression, then please add them. If, on the other hand, you think it is inappropriate to note LSBU's consistently terrible rankings then you need to explain why, because this isn't at all clear to me. They meet all the usual requirements for relevance and reliability of sources. Very happy to accept help from people who are better than me at wiki. 08:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Have added the available Institution rankings, and in the format found on the majority of the other UK University pages, this should hopefully resolve your biased / selective statistics argument. 83.104.51.74 (talk) 17:06, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Basketball team

The following text was deleted from Diego Prado Jaramillo and placed here if someone determines it is notable to include in this article:

In 2008 the LSBU team were invited to Kingston Jamaica to attend the Utech Inaugural Basketball Classic tournament accompanied by their coach, Steve Alexander. The four team tournament, which also included GC Foster, University of the West Indies (UWI) and hosts University of Technolody (Utech) went on for battle on the 27–30 November. LSBU went into the tournament with an impressive record, having won the United Kingdom university championship and representing the country at the European Basketball Championships.

Updates and corrections
