Thank you for your recent, thoughtful clean-up of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill article! Thank you for finding the time (as I could not do) to research, rewrite and reword, rather than perpetuating the pendulum of "first/second" reversions. I especially liked your suggestion that the universities in this tug of war come up with a mutually agreed upon paragraph that would appear in each article. Hennap (talk) 15:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC) |
[edit] UNC
I've added and referenced a sentence about being the "flagship" in the history section around where the UNC system is mentioned. I'm using NCSU and UNCG references to establish dates and the Journal of Higher Education for its explicit mention. I think that's pretty solid. I'm not bothered if we lose the "de facto", but it struck me as a sensible modifier. I've also archived our discussion on the article talk since we seem to have reached a successful conclusion!

[edit] Latin
The Latin on the university seal says "Seal of the University of North Carolina", but just removing the word "Sigul" (~ seal) doesn't leave "University of North Carolina". At the moment we (effectively) have "Of the University of North Carolina" on the infobox. University should definitely become "Universitas" and there needs to be an "-is" ending on North Carolina. See la:Nomina universitatum Latina decreto adoptata in the Latin Wikipedia. Artichoke2020 (talk) 05:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
