University of Notre Dame
[edit]Just a brief acknowledgement of the amazing work you have done on the University website. It's very comprehensive and up to date. I am working on compiling documents relating to the history and will add those I can to the open access repository. they may augment your work - that said you haven't missed much ! Best wishes.

- Thank you for your kind message. The article is part of a personal project to create a standardised structure based on existing articles currently meeting Wikipedia's good article criteria, but within an Australian context, that can eventually be re-adapted into the articles for all Australian and New Zealand-based universities (including, hopefully, where I'm currently studying). I'm around 90% complete with Notre Dame's article and while it doesn't yet meet the criteria, any documents you can publish into the repository will certainly help. Is there any chance you may be able to donate photographs to Wikimedia Commons? It doesn't need to be fancy but I'm looking for some photographs of specific buildings (especially at the Broome and Sydney sites) and events but live a few hours away from the closest campus. It won't affect whether the article can meet the criteria but it will certainly improve its quality. I'm hoping to submit it for a peer review by May followed by a GA-assessment once it is complete. Even if the article doesn't end up meeting the criteria, it is based on existing GAs and has the potential to significantly improve a large number of articles about other universities with minimal effort.

- And thanks for your reply. I was saying to colleagues that there's a lot you have included here that staff don't know about the organisation. I have worked here since 1999 so do have a lot of history to draw on and as I say I am now looking to make available additional documentation which could be referenced. If there are any subjects you want more information about please reply or you can email me (it's first name dot surname with the domain of the university). And I can definitely get you photos of buildings either because we have them on hand or I can get take them for you. Is there anything specific you want - do you have building names/numbers ? 203.19.80.210 (talk) 01:32, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply. I have limited spare time available as I'm currently studying at a nearby university but I'll be happy to email you some time next week when I get some free time. I would also recommend creating a Wikipedia account as you are using a shared university network which anyone can use. Please also refer to this guide. Thank you!

- I've sent an email with a list of possible photographs. Queen Douglas DC-3 (talk) 02:08, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
