New Chancellor - Lord David Neuberger[edit]

Hello everyone,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law. I would like to extend a hand to the Wikipedia community in an effort to help improve this page and ensure that relevant, noteworthy and correct (sourced) information is present. My Conflict of Interest is that I am an employee of GUS (please see my Talk Page for all COIs). I seek to be fully compliant with all COI policies and hope to work with all editors for the improvement of the page.

The edit I am requesting is to update the page with the correct chancellor's name - Lord David Neuberger.

Can this please be corrected in the info-box, and with the inclusion of the following sentence (or words to the tune of): “In September 2018, the university appointed former Supreme Court President, Lord David Neuberger as chancellor.”

This can be sourced to this article and to the university's website:

https://www.law.ac.uk/about/news/2018/ulaw-welcomes-lord-neuberger-as-its-new-chancellor/ https://www.legalcheek.com/2018/09/ulaw-appoints-ex-supreme-court-president-lord-neuberger-as-chancellor/

I am requesting this edit as it updates the page with relevant information. I believe this is appropriately non-promotional and is correctly sourced.

If this is deemed inappropriate for Wikipedia then please let me know - all advice from Editors is appreciated.

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 12:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Voceditenore (talk) 13:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ULaw Gold rated - Teaching Excellence Framework[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs). I seek to be fully compliant with all COI policies and hope to work with all editors for the improvement of the page.

I am requesting that details of The University of Law's rating of 'Gold' according to the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) be added to the 'Rankings and academics' section.

Could something along the following lines please be added:

"Since 2017, the university has been rated 'Gold' according to the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)."

This can be sourced to (as well as the ULaw website) the following: https://www.theguardian.com/partner-zone-university-of-law/2017/jun/22/the-university-of-law-wins-gold-in-first-teaching-excellence-framework https://www.legalcheek.com/2017/06/ulaw-among-gold-rated-universities-in-governments-first-teaching-rankings/

I am requesting this edit as I believe that this update will better-inform the page, providing a relevant perception of the current state of the university, whilst not being overly promotional.

If this is deemed inappropriate for Wikipedia then please let me know - all time given and advice contributed by Editors is appreciated.

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 16:37, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think because the Teaching Excellence Framework is notable in Wikipedia, this claim could be added. But I would like the reference to come from TEF itself if possible. Also, it appears that some of the other schools rated with TEF's color codes were changed recently, would be nice to know if this 2017 status was affected by that. Pinging @Voceditenore: for their input.  Spintendo  19:22, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reply 18-DEC-2018[edit]

  Edit request declined  

  • I'm going to go ahead and decline this request, as its wording is deceptive. The proposal is "Since 2017, the University has been rated 'Gold' according to the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)". Considering that the first results for TEF were only collected and published in 2017—and those results were considered provisional as the trial year—having the claim say "Since 2017" implies that this is something more substantial than it truly is. Let's wait until 2019 to start mentioning this, when the results will be more meaningful.

Regards,  Spintendo  06:07, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Spintendo, I would be inclined to add this now, although only with the simple sentence "In 2017, the university received a Gold rating in the UK government's Teaching Excellence Framework." First if all, this information appears in over 150 WP articles on UK universities [6]. Secondly, this can be officially verified via the Office for Students (OfS) which is an independent public body that was established by the Higher Education and Research Act 2017. OfS verification of ULaw's gold rating (valid until June 2019) is here. That link should be used for the reference not the sources suggested by MrAttempt which are not adequate. Legal Cheek is a blog and the Guardian piece is sponsored content paid for by ULaw.

Hi @Spintendo and Voceditenore: I appreciate your point and thank you for your time, particularly in sourcing the OfS link.

I would be very happy for this to proceed as you have suggested. With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 09:14, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you to Voceditenore for their input. I've added the claim to the article's History section.

Note: I've placed this in the History section, but if it would be better placed under Rankings and academics please either move it or let me know and I'll move it. Thank you.  Spintendo  13:22, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Spintendo. I've moved it to the Rankings and academics section. On balance, it's the more appropriate place. It's not really a significant part of the University's history per se. Voceditenore (talk) 13:27, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Campuses[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs). I seek to be fully compliant with all COI policies and hope to work with all editors for the improvement of the page.

I am requesting that the following be added to the 21st Century section:

"In November 2018, the University announced it was launching its first international campus in Hong Kong in the spring of 2019. In the same month, the University announced it was opening its 10th UK campus in the city of Nottingham to focus on technology; with the campus running an LLB and MSc on legal innovation and technology."

  • Not done. These are routine announcements for events which have not happened yet. When and if the Hong Kong and Nottingham campuses are actually opened, they will be added to the article. Voceditenore (talk) 13:11, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Voceditenore: Many thanks for your input and time.

What would be your consideration on the following to be added to the History section (if the History section is appropriate for this)?

"The University of Law also has GDL and LPC programmes taught at The University of Liverpool, The University of Reading, and The University of Exeter."

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 13:45, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've added this later request in one sentence with 2 references which cover all three universities. It appears in the Rankings and academics section. It's not a significant aspect of the University's history. Voceditenore (talk) 14:36, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Voceditenore: - would you be able to advise on adding the Nottingham campus?

When you say "actually opened" - do you mean when teaching has begun, or when ULaw occupies the building?

Your help and time are very appreciated.

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 09:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MrAttempt, I have added a brief "Campuses" section and listed Nottingham there as well as in the infobox. It has a definite address, is now holding "Open Days", and is recruiting for September 2019 [7]. The Hong Kong campus is far more nebulous [8], and I have left it out. No address is given and it has yet to receive approval for its courses per Hong Kong's Non-local Higher and Professional Education (Regulation) Ordinance. Given GUS institutions' propensity for misleading descriptions of their "branches" and "campuses". This one requires considerably more clarification and verification as a going concern before it can be added. Voceditenore (talk) 11:01, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Great - thank you very much @Voceditenore:

Notable Alumni[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs).

I am requesting for the inclusion of the following names (and sources) to the 'Notable Alumni' section:

Maria Eagle MP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Eagle

Mark Field MP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Field

Hazel Blears - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_Blears

Jacqueline Bhabha - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Bhabha

Graham Francis Defries - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Francis_Defries

Edward Garnier - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Garnier

I am researching more but wanted to check if these would be accepted.

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 16:16, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide the references which are used in the Wikipedia articles listed above to confirm these claims, per WP:ALUMNI, which states "When alumni have their own articles in mainspace, it is not necessary for their notability to be referenced, as long as it is done in the biographical articles. Be sure to check the existing biography article to ensure that it demonstrates alumni status with a cited reference." Please provide those cited references for each name below in your reply. Thank you!  Spintendo  19:54, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The only one of the above which has a valid reference in their article for having attended the College of Law is Maria Eagle. At least one of the others (Jacqueline Bhabha) is patently false. It claims she received a doctorate from the College of Law in 1975. The college did not get degree awarding powers until 2006. I agree with Spintendo. Anyone requesting these additions must supply the exact inline citation. It's not up to us to do that work for something so trivial to the article. Voceditenore (talk) 06:33, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good morning. Many thanks for your input - please see below the layout for the Maria Eagle addition to the Notable Alumni section. Maria Eagle graduated from the College of Law in 1990, sourced as follows: source With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 09:32, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re these requests. I have added Maria Eagle, with a reference and brief description, i.e. "Labour Member of Parliament for Garston and Halewood", not when she graduated from the College of Law. I note that three of the above requests were already in the article's list of "Notable alumni" (Jacqueline Bhabha, Graham Francis Defries, and Edward Garnier). I have updated their references to repair the broken links. MrAttempt, if you plan to make any more requests like this, please read the article carefully to ensure that you are not requesting something already there. Secondly, ensure that your proposed wording is consistent with the style already in the article. Thirdly, please format all supplied references properly, do not simply paste in a bare url and expect others to do the work for you. Help:Referencing for beginners and its associated pages has more on how to format references correctly. Voceditenore (talk) 09:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

THE University of Law[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs).

I am requesting a change to the name used throughout the article.

As demonstrated on the University's website, documentation, and within the press (https://thepienews.com/news/ulaw-announces-first-international-campus-in-hong-kong/), ULaw is now formally known as "The University of Law".

I am requesting that this change be made apparent throughout the article when the subject's full name is used.

The words "University of Law" are present eight times throughout the article and require this update (not including references and the title).

Additionally, the introduction refers to ULaw "branches" throughout the UK. Can this pleased be correct to "campuses".

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 11:45, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reply 09-JAN-2019[edit]

  Please use WP:RMCM  

  1. The request has indicated that The words "University of Law" are present eight times throughout the article and require this update (not including references and the title).
  2. Though it is not strictly required, consistency dictates that the subject's title as it is used in the title of the article and the subject's title as it is used in the prose of the article ought to be identical or as nearly identical as possible.
  3. It is not specified in the request why this need for conformity exists with the use of the title in the prose of the article but not so with the subject's title as it is displayed in the article's title.
  4. Having the article's title changed to include The would indicate the primacy of this usage, and would make enforcing the use of The throughout the article much more easier.
  5. Requests to change an article's title should be submitted using the {{requested move}} template specifically as a controversial move request process requiring discussion amongst the wider community.
  6. A controversial requested move typically takes about 7 days to complete.
  7. Before taking this step, please ensure that you are well acquainted with the requested move process by thoroughly reviewing its procedures.

More information can be found at requested moves.

University of LawThe University of Law – When the institution changed its name, it formally went from "College of Law" to "The University of Law". This makes the prefix "The" inclusive within the formal name of the school. This is demonstrated throughout all documentation of the University, on the official website and social media, as well as recognised in media: https://thepienews.com/news/ulaw-announces-first-international-campus-in-hong-kong/ MrAttempt (talk) 15:39, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose per WP:THE. Using the definite article "The" at the beginning of the article title is discouraged. A lot of universities use the definite article in their official name, but we don't usually include them in the article titles. See Ohio State University as an example. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:05, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment While Rreagan007's point is generally true, there are exceptions per this section of WP:THE:
On the other hand, some universities only refer to themselves as "The University of X", even in running text (e.g. The College of New Jersey). If such usage is prevalent on university press releases and press kits, contact information, "about" pages, and internal department websites, and it is reasonably common in external sources (try a Google search), then it is more appropriate to name the Wikipedia article The University of X.
I've done various Google searches and the university does consistently refer to itself as "The University of Law" (as opposed to "the University of Law") in running text on its website and in its press releases, e.g. [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]. In external sources, it's a mixed bag but with "the" predominating "The" in running text. The Law Society Gazette uses "the" [15], as do Times Higher Education [16], The Daily Telegraph [17], The Guardian [18], BBC News [19], and Moody's Investors Service [20]. However, The Independent uses "The" [21]. MrAttempt's external example is no help because the phrase "The University of Law" only occurs sentence initially, not in running text. If the consensus is not to move, perhaps the name in the lead's first sentence could be rendered as The University of Law as is done in Ohio State University. Voceditenore (talk) 12:22, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Regards,  Spintendo  10:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Spintendo:

The article for John Davies states: "He graduated in law from the University of Southampton from where he moved to the College of Law at Chester." This is from the official Church of Wales website.

Would this not be considered confirmed by the article?

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 10:31, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spintendo, I strongly suggest that no alumnus be added here unless it is accompanied by an inline citation in this article. For example, although the article David Gauke says that he attended the College of Law (ULaw's old name), there is not a single inline citation there to verify that. I have found one and added in this article. On the other hand, the reference provided by MrAttempt for John Davies (Archbishop of Wales) is a very reliable source (official website of the Church in Wales) and verifies this. There is no requirement that the information to be added here must be mentioned in the person's WP article, provided this article has an inline citation. I have now added his name here with the reference. Having said that, MrAttempt, please do not expect volunteer editors to do the work for which you are being paid. You need to submit these requests here "ready to go" with a properly formatted link to the person's WP article, the proper style of description with properly formatted internal links, and a properly formatted inline citation with full bibliographic information. The following is what you should have submitted in your request:

Inclusion of ULaw Solicitor Apprenticeships[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs).

I seek advice. Would ULaw be able to have a list of their solicitor apprenticeship partnerships mentioned in the article? If so, would this require being sourced to independent media or the University's website?

For example, the University recently announced several new partnerships: https://universitybusiness.co.uk/Article/ulaw-announces-2019-solicitor-apprenticeship-partners/ https://www.lawcareers.net/Information/News/The-University-of-Law-launches-2019-solicitor-apprenticeships-with-the-BBC-Fiel

This strikes me as relevant to the article in that these are high-profile firms/councils, which are of particular relevance according to the University's purpose of training in law.

If accepted, would this be written as a paragraph or as a list (so as to make the edit request easier)?

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 10:46, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • No suitable—neither as a list or a paragraph. It's basically advertising. This is information suitable for the ULaw website and prospectus. These new apprenticeships/partnerships are routine announcements, based on a press-release. Note also that the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination, preparation for which these apprenticeships are being touted in the sources, does not even come into effect until 2021 [22]. Voceditenore (talk) 11:53, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal/alteration of sentence[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs).

The 2nd sentence of the 5th paragraph of the '21st Century' section states: "GUS began a programme of restructuring its UK holdings with the intention of making the University of Law the company's sole provider of academic qualifications and professional qualifications, including the master's degrees previously offered by the London School of Business and Finance."

This should be deemed an announcement as included in the PIE News article it is sourced to. <ref.Custer, Sara. "Global University Systems to restructure", Pie News, London, 25 September, 2015. Retrieved on 11 October 2019.</ref>

If restructuring took place in any capacity, ULaw is not and never has been the sole provider of academic degrees to GUS, including Masters degrees.

I am asking that this information either be removed or corrected to (along the lines of):

"This same year, GUS announced it would be restructuring its UK holdings with the intent of making the University of Law the company's sole provider of academic qualifications and professional qualifications. However, as of 2019, the University has not been made the sole provider of any degrees to GUS."

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 12:04, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I simply removed it. The information was pretty tangential and no longer accurate. Voceditenore (talk) 17:13, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additional degrees[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs).

The University of Law offers additional degrees, aside from Law degrees. These include BAs in Criminology, Criminology and Sociology, and a BSC in Policing an Criminal Investigation. All are 'Live' courses; currently recruiting via the University website, though they are NOT starting teaching until September of 2019.

To my mind, these are distinct enough to merit a brief mention in the academics section, though I understand this may cross into advertorial/promotional. I wanted to check as it is different from the typical law school offering. Would this be considered overly promotional?

  Edit request declined  

  • This is a request to offer an opinion on the suitability of adding courses from the college's catalog to Wikipedia, so that Wikipedia's reach may extend knowledge of these offerings to potential students. The COI editor states that they are "distinct enough to merit a brief mention in the academics section". But the COI editor has not stated what it is about that distinction, which makes their being mentioned here necessary. What is more distinct are the guidelines which state that Wikipedia ought not function as a mirror of information available on the University's own website. Equally distinct are its guidelines which state that the article ought not to be tasked with providing the latest and most current class offerings of the University to Wikipedia's readership.

Regards,  Spintendo  20:19, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good afternoon @Spintendo: Many thanks for your time in replying. My request for advice on the suitability of adding The University of Law courses that are not of a legal training context was made in effort to better inform the article. I had considered the distinction between ULaw's typical legal training courses and those listed above might be worth including in the article - your response is distinctly clear.

New campus and collaboration[edit]

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns The University of Law; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs).

I am following up on previous requests that were rejected as insufficient evidence was provided, now updated.

Hong Kong

I am requesting that the Hong Kong campus be added to the list of campuses in the info-box, and the following to the 21st Century section:

"In November 2018, the University announced it was launching its first international campus in Hong Kong in the spring of 2019, with teaching beginning in September of that year."

The University of Law's Hong Kong campus is now offering multiple courses, and has been approved for registration by the Registrar of Non-local Higher and Professional Education Courses in April 2019 under the Non-local Higher and Professional Education (Regulation) Ordinance, Cap. 493. [1]

The ULaw Hong Kong campus now also has listed courses. [2]

Is anything else required for this to be added?

The University of East Anglia-ULaw courses have, since the last request, held open days and the LPC, LPC with LLM, and the LPC with MSc. [4] This is also supported on the UEA website. [5]

  • Done. But I must say, calling Hong Kong a "campus" is a bit of a stretch. The Hong Kong Management Association provides the teaching venues and administration as it does for 16 other foreign universities [23]. Voceditenore (talk) 15:11, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Backwards copyvio[edit]

Diannaa, I'm going to revert your removal and rewrite of material which you said was a copyvio from http://50prospectus.com/uk/university-law-prospectus/ That is backwards copyvio copied from this article, not the university's real prospectus. Observe the article as of 12 July 2016. 50prospectus.com, owned by a company in Ghana, was not even created until 4 October 2016. Observe the Whois record. Voceditenore (talk) 12:45, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for discovering that, and for your quick action. I'm glad I spoke to you about it. You might check this removal as well. But note that the IP added material that was already present elsewhere in the article, so a straight revert of my removal of the IP's edit is not a good idea. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:12, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Diannaa. I've left your first removal pretty much as is so far, but cleaned up further infelicities and referencing errors which had been added by the IP and which had not been removed by your edit. I'll have a closer look and may well re-add some of the material removed in that first edit. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • These certainly look alright to add, but looking at the article, I see that the convention here is to place a small blurb after the name, giving a bit of detail about each alumnus, which is keeping in line with the guidelines at WP:ALUMNI. I wouldn't want to add names that don't correspond with how the other items in that section are handled, as it would appear incomplete having half of the names with descriptions and half of them without. Perhaps something could be added to these names? Please advise  Spintendo  19:13, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking into this @Spintendo:. I have pasted below the list of alumni, including the detail of their career/role according to their Wiki article. Do let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I would like to make a request that the following sentence be added to the 'Rankings and Academics' section:
