Vizianagram Hall restoration[edit]

There was an article about the proposed restoration in the Times of India. Is there any update that can be used as a source? All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 11:28, 12 July 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Lists of alumni[edit]

Until very recently this article had a poorly formatted and virtually unsourced list of alumni. This was prefaced "Main article: List of University of Allahabad alumni". This List of University of Allahabad alumni contained fewer names (and was virtually unsourced).

I see no reason for there to be two lists. So after clearing the list that was here of some more obvious junk, I deleted it and added its content to List of University of Allahabad alumni.

Those editors who are keen on such lists may like to provide a reference for each claim that this or that person is an alumnus of the university. (Yes, lists of people can be sourced: example.) -- Hoary (talk) 03:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

New photographs added on 17 June 2021 Night View of Vizianagaram Hall, University of Allahabad Night View of Vizianagaram Hall, University of Allahabad	Previous photographs Muir Central College, now part of Faculty of Science Aerial view of Senate Hall, University of Allahabad

I have nothing against the two new photographs, which both show Vizianagaram Hall at night. But I think the article should also show the photos that were previously shown. Does anyone support the idea of putting them all in a gallery? -- Toddy1 (talk) 19:48, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if the article is going to show photographs labelled as "Vizianagaram Hall", it would be a good idea to talk about the restoration of the building, and to explain that it was originally Muir Central College. There are reliable sources talking about this - for example[1]-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:56, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
