I have added a link to the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design article as part of the University of Dundee. I think this is justified given the College is very well known, has its own identity and was a separate entity until 1994. However if people feel otherwise please discuss it here.

I tried breaking-up the sport section into sub-categories, but I did not feel it worked. Unfortunately, I thought I had closed the page without saving, but I had not and I mistakenly saved the change rather than another edit I was working on - I have reverted now. Apologies for any confusion. Dunarc (talk) 20:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have added John Glas to the history section as he effectively founded the Glasite denomination in Dundee. Dunarc (talk) 21:08, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added the main Glasite article for the same reason. Dunarc (talk) 20:51, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have put V&A Dundee to into the culture section with a link to the appropriate place in the V&A article, given its current significance. If after the V&A Dundee is opened it gets it own article, the link should be changed to it. Dunarc (talk) 15:53, 22 January 2017 (UTC) Modified by Dunarc (talk) 19:01, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a religion section similar to the one in the Aberdeen article. I think it is useful, but please feel free to discuss. Dunarc (talk) 20:41, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to make the way the castles articles are included in the history section a bit more user friendly, but feel free to discuss changes here. Dunarc (talk) 20:59, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be worth adding the Terra Nova to the article given she was built in Dundee? I am a bit doubtful about this. She is arguably as significant as RRS Discovery, but the latter is now in the city as a major tourist attraction (and has been for over 30 years) and so has a much closer link to justify her inclusion here. Also it would then raise the issue if other Dundee built ships should be included - SS Californian would be an obvious example as she was undoubtedly one of the most famous ships to be built in Dundee, but it is most famous for events that have nothing to do with the city (Terra Nova did at least work out of Dundee when she was a whaler and has connections to the Discovery via her role in the relief of the Discovery Expedition). At the moment my instinct is to leave things as they are, but I would be interested in what others think and discussing the matter further. Dunarc (talk) 22:02, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
