Talk:University of Bristol admissions controversy

"Row"
Is "row" really an appropriate word for the title? I'm a speaker of American English, so I'm quite possibly wrong, but I've always thought the term "row" was rather informal and almost slang. If it is, the title should be termed more academically. Dylan (talk) 21:05, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I think I named the article. In British English its hardly slang and is used as a synonym for noisy argument. I suppose I used row to capture the sheer intensity of the argument which desended into accusations of polticial correctness, class bias and elitism. The sort of thing that could only happen in class-obsessed England. 2003 University of Bristol admissions dispute wouldn't be objected to and is possibly more neutral. 172.202.216.161 (talk) 19:09, 25 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Following peer review it has been suggested that this is in fact a controversy rather than a dispute or a row. Rename ! Francium12 (talk) 01:17, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I have put this in for GA nomination. I am slowly getting to the facts of the controversy and getting past some of the rhetoric Francium12  21:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
