Archived material: Talk:National University of Ireland, Cork
This post is from 2004! The National University of Ireland was dissolved early in 2010. The article should be edited to reflect this.—Preceding unsigned comment added by QuentinPrice ( talk • contribs)
I have moved the article from " National University of Ireland, Cork" to "University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork" to reflect its official title. Djegan 17:16, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
any thoughts on adding in the myths of the college? like the back story to a graduate walking across the quad will fail and stories like that? might interest a general reader. Burklert 10:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hmm I see your point. I was a tour guide for the college last September and we were given the stories from the offical college tourguide. He detailed the story of the Quad and its mythical link to failing exams. The burying of the statue of Queen Victoria and her later recovery(pretty funny story) was also covered by him. While i can cite for the Queen Victoria story, finding backup for the Quad and crest myths might be difficult. Burklert 11:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
On anon added the following to the above sentence, another removed it. I've left it here for verification... (though it seems a likely enough pun/expression):

"Coolaboola" - yep, this is true. (I'm a current UCC student) Blahrgh 21:29, 09 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I've never heard this.. is that derived from Irish or some nutcase version of 'cool boole'? Ah well.. won't hear me saying it. I don't study there anyway, too crowded during exam season. - Cathal
its rhyming slang for cool believe it or not, well more an elongation. plokt
-> Isn't there some sort of children's tv program called Cúla Boola or something? Sounds pretty dumb to me in any case... and I have never ever heard anyone say it in my life... maybe it was a cool thing to say back in the 60's...
The article should probably have a famous alumni section. Anybody know who can go in there? Fiona Shaw is definitely a UCC graduate. Graham Norton and Cillian Murphy both went to UCC, but didn't finish their courses, so probably wouldn't count.
We should copy the example of the excellent TCD site? Need an alumni section??
I've removed a link to a page on Des Clarke (a Philosophy lecturer in UCC) from the "See Also" section -- it's unnecessary to link to individual lecturers on the main university page, especially in the absence of any other similar links - Midos 14:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
This article has been renamed from University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork to University College Cork as the result of a move request.
The result of the proposal was - move. Keith D ( talk) 13:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
The discussion for the move is located here.
If my memory serves correctly, UCC was featured in an episode of "How I Met Your Mother", would it be suitable to include a section? Sheodred ( talk) 09:54, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

It seems that the college's motto as Gaeilge should be listed on the page since that's the one that hangs over the main gate.

The intro/lead is starting to become a list of awards. This isn't in keeping with MOS:LEAD (which suggests it should "define the topic and summarize the article body"). If there are many of these awards, and they are all worth listing, then (IMO) they should be covered in the "Today" section (or new/specific "Awards" section), and the lead restored to what it's supposed to be. (A summary - including even a summary of the awards - not an exhaustive list of em) Guliolopez ( talk) 12:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Doesn't meet WP:ORG or WP:GNG, but perhaps worth a merge here. Pinging Guliolopez and Kade20~enwiki. Best wishes, Boleyn ( talk) 17:52, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

In this recent edit, a photo of a sign showing this map was added. I'm firstly not sure if this is really justified as, while useful, it doesn't really describe the college (also, it's very difficult to read). Would it not make more sense to place this link in External Links? Also, I can't find any mention that it is a free-use image, and a plain photo of it would therefore not be free-use.

Hello,
I have created a new subsection for 'religious communities' within the alumni section, as the 'politicians and public servants' is not an accurate category for Dr Paul Colton, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8084:22:BE00:E0B5:3957:9FA5:2B91 ( talk) 12:48, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

I find the introduction to this article places far too much focus on the name changes UCC went through over the years. It also makes rather unnecessarily detailed reference to various pieces of legislation that caused or supported these.
Perhaps it would make more sense to open with a paragraph that places the university into context? UCC is, after all, one of Ireland's leading and longest established academic institutions. Describing how it forms part of the fabric of Cork City and the key role it plays in Irish academic research, education and cultural life and also the contributions it makes international research etc etc would make it a more interesting read.
It might be better to put the name changes into a paragraph in the history section? They really aren't very interesting to someone who casually stumbles upon the article, or who might be interested in finding out about the university for academic or tourism reasons.
It needs an opening section that introduces UCC, summarises what is all about and draws readers into the full piece.
