Things That Are Just Wrong

[edit]
  • It is called 'Oxford University' - not 'University of Oxford'. This is a world class educational establishment, not some High School in Shitkickerburg, Idaho.
  • The police force in London is 'The Metropolitan Police' not 'The Police of the Metropolis', which smacks of some form of Orwellism.

Behold - Wikipedia is full of fail. I've changed them. Gormenghastly (talk) 19:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you are wrong. People call it 'Oxford University' informally, but the correct name is University of Oxford. Take a look here: http://www.ox.ac.uk/ Your point about the police is irrelevant - there are seven hundred years between their foundation! 163.1.126.5 (talk) 19:51, 24 May 2008 (UTC) <---(that's a Univeristy of Oxford IP)[reply]
