This article is about the Ivy League - and just the Ivy Leauge. It is not a page on decent universities and I think adding stuff on Standford and MIT is opinon. Also, when you moved Oxbridge and the Russell group you lost all kind of description as to why they are there.

Then when these reports filtered back up, the press grabbed it as a cause celebre, looking for anything to further embarrass the government with. Once equipped with comic books telling them how to clean and combat check the weapon, the problems "miraculously" disappeared.

I think that rule should be applied. Try adding it to the deletion policy and see whether anyone complains.

I think what you're doing is great. To have a large number of keen, intelligent contributors suddenly writing interesting material about Hong Kong was a pleasant surprise.

Well, since it is Martin and

About the M-16 being "universally praised" - as far as I can tell the original statement is correct, the US Navy SEALs given the weapon for testing were completely enamoured with it. It was only when it was given to a larger audience of barely-trained inductees who were told not to bother cleaning

BTW, to folks who have posted or queried here, I seek your advice. I'd like to do a survey of the students after the exercise is over. I want them to evaluate the experience. None of them had used a Wiki before, and to many the concept was completely foreign. So I'd like to somehow capture the

Long and short of it is that the M-16 is the single best rifle design since the StG44. Efforts by other forces to introduce weapons of even similar quality have been fraught with peril, including the SA80 where the mention comes from. Even the venerable AK-47 has been replaced twice (once in
