Dundee College of Education

There are a few articles that redlink Dundee College of Education. Was it merged into the University of Dundee (it's mentioned here), or into another institution? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 18:13, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Finlay

Indirectly, sort of.

In 1987, Dundee College of Education "merged with the Northern College of Education based in Aberdeen. In 2001 the two campuses of the Northern College, in Aberdeen and Dundee, were merged into the University of Aberdeen and the University of Dundee respectively." So, yes it did merge with the University of Dundee, but indirectly ,via the Northern College of Education.

My edits deleted on this page

Hello. I know that I am new here on Wikipedia, but I made a series of good faith edits of this page, including notable people who are alumni of the University of Dundee and who have their own Wikipedia pages already, plus one other alumna who I provided a citation for as requested via the chat.

All of these edits are now deleted. Why?

Thank you, Roberto RobertoFanfuli (talk) 16:30, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, that was my error - have already responded to you when I saw the message on your Talk page, and reverted it. Thanks for raising this, I'm very glad you did so that I had the opportunity to put it right. Tacyarg (talk) 16:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes indeed and thank you, Roberto RobertoFanfuli (talk) 17:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone.

This is all cleared up now. Please ignore the above.

All the best RobertoFanfuli (talk) 17:00, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see another editor has now removed Mariam Nanyunja Kiggundu on the grounds of non-notability. I'm sorry about that; on a quick look I thought she might be and was hoping that the Women in Red project might look her up. The other editor is following the write the article first guidance, however. @Theroadislong: just so that you are aware that RobertoFanfuli's edit was partly on the grounds of my support; not expecting reversion though as I know this is in line with WTAF.

Thanks @Tacyarg

The deletion is fine, I am here to learn and I have only just started here. Not least regarding Red Links and WTAF, both new to me and brought to my attention by including Mariam Kiggundu on this webpage of Wikipedia. Thank you for following up.

All the best, Roberto. RobertoFanfuli (talk) 08:52, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
