Entry: Glamorgan university - A660106

ok....this is my first, let me know what you think???

Hi MM,

I think this is a good start, but I think you could say a bit more about the place - campus life, courses, the area, traditions, history etc. It's also worth trying to learn to use Guide ML, which is far easier than you'd think! (even I've got the hang of it!). It's also worth changing the title to Glamorgan University, UK, as there's probably other Glamorgans elsewhere in the world...

A good example of an previously edited guide entry is at A346367 on Keele University.

Keep working at this if you have time - it has the potential to be a really good guide entry.

Otto

Have a look at today's front page as well.

I agree with Otto. It needs more information. There's also some stuff that needs tidying up, eg pontypridd needs a capital 'P'.

Don't forget to post back to this thread when you've made the amendments. Being in PR is a bit like driving a car - it won't go forward unless you've got your foot on the gas!

Is that in Australia/Wales/Scotland/Ireland???? Some people like my ignoramous self never heard of the great city of Pontypridd!?!

BTW, you might prefer to remove this thread from the Peer Review and do the writing calmly. When the entry is ready you can resubmit it for PR...

Think about this,

HELL

Where the Hell are you from Hell - never heard of Ponty!!!

Alji

BRAZIL!!!!!!


Olê-oleolê-olá....

Some names linked to the Town of Ponty.
Tom Jones, Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Catatonia.

Ponty is about 20 minutes up the road from the city of Cardiff.



Alji

OK, I know who Tom Jones is, but forgive my ignorance, what/who are Manic Street Preachers? A Band?

And, were stereophonics invented developped in 'ponty'? Or is it another Bandname? Was catatonia discovered there? Or is it another Bandname?

I didn't get it?!?

Confused,

HELL

Apart from Jones the Voice they are all groups (bands)

Alji

Whoa...

No wonder I've never heard of Pontypridd.

See you,

HELL

Oh, BTW, the groups (bands) must be very famous, no?

HELL

Come to think of it, I can't think of one Brazilian band!

Where are you in Brazil?

Well, I am not in Brazil, I am *from* Brazil. Currently I live in Munich, Germany.

Have you ever heard of Sepultura? I think it's one of the most well known Brazilian metal bands, but they sing in English... It is not common for Brazilian bands to become famous globally, normally, it's certain singers/songwriters that are well known. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that individual musicians are more serious than the bands, at least in Brazil...

HELL

Or maybe the it's the language, so you only have a chance globally either if you sing in english or (and) if your music is impressive... The quality of 'band' music is usually less impressive than music of individuals...

Well, well

HELL

I'm not into heavy metal but I did look them up on the web.
"BESTIAL DEVISTATION", "MORBID VISIONS", "SCHIZOPHRENIA", "ARISE".
No not my of tea.

Alji

I thought so. If you're interested in Brazilian music, names of other good bands, songwriters etc. I invite you to start a conversation at my space...

HELL

It might also be worth mentioning, especially given the origins of this guide, that the University of Glamorgan runs a BSc (Hons) in Science and Science Fiction. It should also be available online in the near future. Check out www.glam.ac.uk/sciencefiction
