Should this article now be at Newscastle University? That seems to be the name used on their website and everywhere else. The page title should be the commonly used name.
On the other hand, if the act of parliament created it as "University of Newcastle upon Tyne", that might still be its official name, and it is simply branded "Newcastle University". The page should still be at the commonly used name, but the opening line should read:
Any comments or opinons? JRawle ( Talk) 12:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I've added an explanatory note on the nature of the physics controversy, as one seemed necessary. I also removed the comment on chemistry applications. It was... superfluous. Anecdota 13:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I've restored the material deleted by an anonymous contributor. As biology is often accused of being the science most in ignorance of developments in physics, it may be useful to categorise together universities that close their physics courses. Anecdota 21:07, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
The BBC News page on the Reading closure [ [1]] also has a link to the Newcastle closure. Professor Peter Main of the Institute of Physics is quoted, commenting: "We have lost Newcastle and now Reading. Two or three others, I would be very surprised if they lasted even another five years." That Reading is a campus university makes it of a different social status to Newcastle (as well as any difference in academic status), because universities have replaced industry as the foremost motive for large groups of young people to move to a new city at the same time. However, since the History/Today organisation may be awkward, should we have a new 'Dumbing Down?' paragraph to examine the controversies that Newcastle has caused?

(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. Timrollpickering 23:19, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Well that is the entire purpose of the rankings. They are total rubbish and mean nothing at all in most cases, they only serve as a slight moral boost on those occasions that a university does well (or a blow if the opposite happens)-- Josquius 22:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
This article is starting to read likea brochure rather than an encyclopaedia . Lumos3 09:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
How can you justify removing large chunks of information, when this was one of the only areas in the article that was linked to its source. Surely if you are to take such a hard line on 'copyright infringements' you would be better to delete the whole article!!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scottie88 ( talk • contribs).
Leazes Parade is now completely Postgrad accom. Jesmond Rd is now UG accom Bluenoxid 20:31, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I have recently been on the "Tour Day" to Newcastle Uni and I must say I was not very impressed with the Castle Leazes accomodation, does every Hall of Residence, especially the large ones look like a cross between a prison cell and a youth hostel, and it says on the article that it is within walking distance of the town/ Uni but I was told that it was 3 miles out, I would not fancy a 6 mile round trip every time I had lessons.
Krummy2 08:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
LP became postgrad in october 07, and castle leazes is not three miles away its about 1 mile and it takes about 15 minutes to walk in —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.232.202 ( talk) 02:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
And yeah, IMO most undergrad accomodations do look like prisons. :p I'd agree this stuff is very brochure like.-- Josquius 14:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I've restored 1963 as the year the university was established (since this is correct.) If people want to find out more about the university's history they can read the main article. Admitunit ( talk) 12:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
The images give a very nineteenth century feel, can we have some of the more modern buildings on the campus as well? Lumos3 ( talk) 10:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I've removed the sub-headings added to the History section. At the moment I think the section is too small to justify splitting up under the headings given. The King's College sub section was only one sentence long. Admitunit ( talk) 22:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
I deleted text concerning the closure of the department of physics. While notable to some (especially me) I don't feel it deserves any special mention in the article over and above the closure/amalgamation of other departments and schools of the university. Admitunit ( talk) 22:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Newcastle University's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "about":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:39, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Please can someone explain why there is a redirect on this phrase. I have a community based on the real 'Richardson Road' in Sussex yet I cannot appear to use its correct name here on Wiki due to the redirect, and I cannot see the relevance. Be only too pleased to be advised by a Wiki admin or anyone to state why we could not be using it for ours to make finding ours more simple? This may not be the way to ask, but have no idea how to, so quite expect this will be deleted too. Dinnages ( talk) 19:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Article Douglas Gilchrist has a link to Newcastle University as administering these scholarships, but no mention here. Doug butler ( talk) 15:52, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

I could see no sign on talk pages of anyone actually being confused about Newcastle University and University of Newcastle (Australia), so I've moved the former back to its non-disambiguated name, as it's arguably the primary topic of something that could be ambiguous. And besides, the two names don't actually clash, so I don't see why the name itself has to be changed... EditorInTheRye ( talk) 22:46, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
