An anonymous editor keeps removing the sentence summarising the major rankings in the lead and replacing it with references only to the QS rankings. In only giving a single viewpoint where multiple viewpoints are available, this appears to be in violation of WP:NPOV. Rather than edit-warring, I have flagged the statement to point to this discussion. The WP:UNIGUIDE guidelines states:
In the lead, do not use rankings to synthesize an image of the institution, whether good or bad. Give one factual statement summarising overall "most recent" rankings obtained in key surveys (for example, "In 2010, institution 'A' has been ranked #3 by The Economist, #5 by The New York Times and #8 by Financial Times."). In the lead, do not give the sub factor rankings -- details like "ranked #x in placements" or "ranked #3 in research" should not be the lead, and only selectively for major factors in the article anywhere.
This makes it clear that the statement must summarise the major rankings, not select one favourite one. In its current form, the lead is cherry-picking an editor's favourite ranking rather than presenting the major rankings in a neutral manner. If there are no objections made here, I will revert to the summary sentence and remove the POV tag. Robminchin ( talk) 18:31, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
I have put in another page-protection request as the editing has resumed since the previous protection expired. EdwardUK ( talk) 15:55, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
As there appears to have been some editing back-and-forth about this, I thought I would open this discussion thread and invite Blake- and Woodopal to participate. The practice on most UK university pages is to have the coat of arms at the top of the infobox (using the image_name= parameter) and the logo at the bottom (using the logo= parameter), e.g. King's College London, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge. Generally, this is done except where there is no coat of arms, e.g. University College London. This article currently, and rather oddly, has the logo in both positions, meaning it is shown twice. I would favour following standard practice and having both the coat of arms and the logo in the infobox. Robminchin ( talk) 05:56, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

I would like to propose that we split the Campus East section into its own article as there are various subjects which I believe should have a mention such as the Piazza building and Ron Cooke Hub. Adding them to the main university article would make the article too lengthy and they are not notable enough for their own articles. I have already completed a new page which includes information from the Expansion section on this article but thought it best to ask before I publish the page. Also apologises for any mistakes im still relatively new to Wikipedia TheUpperNile ( talk) 17:04, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
