Talk:Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford

Edit request
I've created a new draft for this article at User:MartinPoulter/Mathematical Institute. Lots of facts and figures are updated, including the Head of Department and the number of postgraduates. I've put in more historical information, as well as sections about the main things the institute does; research, teaching and outreach. I've put in more information about assessment of the institute by external agencies. I've added historical context to the Professorships/chairs that are mentioned. The holders are likely out of date and up-to-date holders of these chairs are not listed on the institute web site. The institute has more professors than these named posts, so it doesn't make sense to highlight some named professors and not others. The current version of the article puts postnominal letters after people's names and this contradicts the Manual of Style which says that post-nominals should only be used in the lead sentence of an article about the person. ORES says this new version is potentially GA quality.

I've done this writing while working as a consultant for the Institute, so could someone else please look at my draft and copy it into this article, or give me permission to do so? Thanks in advance for any help, MartinPoulter (talk) 12:48, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Single ranking cited
The article appears to cherry-pick the only one of the three national rankings that Oxford comes top in for mathematics, presenting a non-neutral picture of the institution. Robminchin (talk) 20:16, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
