Talk:Visitor

Title
See Visitor (UK Universities) for some of page history. I have moved this article back here as I do not foresee any need to disambiguate this title in an encyclopedia. Andrew Yong 09:01, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as 'United Kingdom' law? As I understand matters, there are the laws of 'England & Wales' and the laws of 'Scotland', which are different jurisdictions. Since the seventeen univeristies/colleges visited by the Privy Councillor are all in England and Wales, I propose to change this. --Theo (Talk) 00:48, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Should we redirect board of visitors here? Sarsaparilla (talk) 16:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking at the article content, and where Board of Visitors goes, I think Board of governors might be a better target - although there might be an argument for a merger there as well. David Underdown (talk) 17:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Agree with above comment about UK law. I also have good reason to believe that "Visitor" is an office found only in English and Welsh contexts, so I'm going to edit the article to reflect this. I have never heard of Visitors in a Scottish context. Source - lawyer in Scotland.

Privy Council Link
The link to the privy council lead to an advertising site (www.privy-council.org.uk). Whether this was an old address or some spammer put it there I do not know. I have corrected it.

Lord Peter Wimsey as the Visitor of St. Severin's College
In the Jill Paton Walsh continuation of the Lord Peter Wimsey series of detective novels The Late Scholar, Lord Peter is found to be the Visitor of St. Severin’s College in Oxford. It might be a good idea to mention it as an use of the office in the popular literature.
