This reads an awful lot like an advert and not much like an informative page. A quick glance at their webpage suggests that much of this piece is lifted straight from their blurb.... Jtlh2 10:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I apologise, I was working quickly!

Sorry about making it like an ad. I'm the person responsible for developing the website and I did lift the copy from there. It's my first major edit of a Wikipedia page so please forgive my naivete. I've altered the page so maybe it's acceptable. I am happy to make further changes if necessary. I will add to it to make it more informative, this is just a first stab. Very pleased to have been picked up so soon though as I only did this edit last night!Zoehoward 19:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Removing the advertising alert

How can I get the alert message removed from the page? Zoehoward 15:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I have cleaned up the article to better conform with our content policies. It will be good if you can supply some secondary sources. See WP:V and WP:CITE. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:51, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Name of page

Should the page be called Warwick Manufacturing Group, or has it been officially renamed to WMG. Snowman (talk) 23:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

4th Building?

Are there really 4 building? I don't think so. Please list. Willplatts (talk) 13:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

No, thinking about it, I'm pretty sure there are only 3. I feel quite confident since I am an engineering student at Warwick. They are: International Manufacturing Centre, International Automotive Research Centre, and the Digital Lab. Willplatts (talk) 18:12, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

ref 2, http://www.warwickdigital.org.uk/ redirects to games rentals

Not sure how but I end up at http://www.gamerentalsites.co.uk/

I couldn't fix the ref (or even understand why it was redirecting that way), so I've simply removed it for now. In any event, secondary sources (like independent news coverage) are generally preferable to primary sources (like the WMG website), so a different reference would be an improvement.

Article issues

Hi. I was wondering whether it might be possible to consider the removal of the article issues tags at the top of this page? Since the flagging, there has been a lot of activity from multiple users and the text has changed significantly to reflect independent sources. Many thanks Anna Ritchley (talk) 15:14, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Agree with Anna. Original COI edits now largely eclipsed by new content, with references added from multiple sources. Have deleted issues note Paul W (talk) 23:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
