Neutrality discussion on controversy[edit]

Neutrality discussion on controversy: links on intimidation against white students brings balance to the section. Without it reads a little bit like a warped POV. The follow-up is necessary. Teatreez (talk) 12:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, 'some' degree of followup of all sides is certainly necessary. What seems odd, to me, is that there is one paragraph on the original incident, followed by three (albeit shorter) paragraphs on alleged intimidation/threats against white students. There is very little followup on anything else (like the claims that "it was just a joke", for example). It seems rather unbalanced. - htonl (talk) 12:39, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you're right, it needs to be more streamlined I agree. Teatreez (talk) 14:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it has problems - not sure why Serfontein deleted it entirely, though. I would have already reverted the changes, but I don't want to lose post-reversion edits that improved the article. I'll figure something out soon enough. ManicParroT (talk) 02:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I manually reinserted the section on the controversy.

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on University of the Free State. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20091004092257/http://www.webometrics.info/top100_continent.asp?cont=africa to http://www.webometrics.info/top100_continent.asp?cont=africa

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Ranking[edit]

Webmetrics ranks a colleges on-line presence, it says nothing whatsoever about its academic quality. The ranking section should reflect this if a actual source regarding its quality can not be found. 2600:1702:21A0:31B0:0:0:0:2A (talk) 02:37, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
