Talk:Lincoln College, Oxford

No Coverage on Areas of Study?
It seems like this article should include at least a couple notes on which area of academics the college is known for. I was just trying to learn more about this college, but this hasn't given me much. Anyone who knows anything more, please offer your insight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazy coyote (talk • contribs) 19:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

The college has no particular "area of academics". It has traditionally been strong for Law and History, but the college isn't dominated by them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.52.26 (talk) 13:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * All Oxford colleges offer subjects across the academic spectrum, with virtually every college having accomplished academics in a wide variety of subjects. Nowadays, there are no "history colleges" or "science colleges" or whatever. And we mustn't forget that this is an encyclopaedia, not a prospectus. - Lincolnite (talk) 09:45, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Latin Name
I've included the Latin name in the information panel on the right. I see no reason not to have it, as several other college pages include it, and indeed, it is still used (notably by the Oxford Union Returning Officer, who always signs his letters, documents et cetera with his college name in Latin. This was the case with the RO from Lincoln last year. I have seen it used elsewhere, also, though do not have a vivid recollection of where). It is also of historical significance to what is an old college, having appeared on many of Lincoln's documents throughout the ages, as well as atop a well-known drawing of the college with which I think most College members would be familiar. In summary: I can think of no good reason not to have it, as it is a fact, it is of interest, it is useful, and there is no such thing as "too much information", especially not on Wikipedia. Please discuss further, or leave it alone. Thanks. Locuteh (talk) 17:51, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

First
It is said that Lincoln College was the first. See the talk page of the article on Isaiah Berlin. Someone there, possibly with connections to a university, notes that this seems to have been unwitting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.194.200 (talk) 14:19, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Lincoln College Virtual Tour
I would like to propose the addition of an external link to a virtual tour of Lincoln College:

Lincoln College Virtual Tour

It has been created for the College, and features, at the moment, the Front Quad, the Oxford skyline seen from the Tower, and the Hall in a Gigapixel panorama.

The virtual tour is on a secure website, and compatible to almost all devices, from smartphone to large screens.

Wine cellar
Having been down there many times, I can assure people that the unsourced claim that the wine cellar extends under the grove is inaccurate. It is accessed by the corridor next to the stairwell that connects the kitchens/hall with deep hall. From that direction it extends in the direction of Brasenose lane. This is just me talking so you can't reference it, but I just thought I'd share. 2A00:23C5:E90B:1201:CDA5:B8FD:7859:EB2 (talk) 18:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)


 * IP editor, in general if you find information which is incorrect and unreferenced you can remove it. I searched online and found an article in Oxoniensia which describes the excavation of the "New Wine Cellar" under the college's Grove Buildings in 1999. TSventon (talk) 10:47, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
