Talk:Lviv University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the list should be also Hruszewski, the famous ukrainian historician and man of state, but I don't know how they write it in english.. Hrushevsky ? And, in fact, where are other famous Ukrainians ? Are there only Poles on this Wikipedia ? ;P
- Mykhailo Hrushevsky. Be bold, and add the rest. If you make a mistake, someone will correct it. —Michael Z. 2005-10-19 19:25 Z

[edit] Louis B. Sohn (1914-2006)
Louis B. Sohn (1914-2006) received two masters degrees from the John Casimir University in law and diplomatic science in the 1930s and pursued an extraordinary career in the United States from 1939 including receipt of master in laws and doctorate in laws at Harvard Law School, participation with Judge Manley O. Hudson in the San Francisco Conference at which the United Nations Charter was negotiated and many years of teaching international law, law of the sea and U.N. law at Harvard Law, the University of Georgia and George Washington University. (See: http://www.law.gwu.edu/NR/rdonlyres/C7040BDA-C0B3-46C1-B820-779E474029C8/0/102406_ProfessorSohn_program.pdf) He should be added to the list of distinguished alumni of the University and should also have his own entry in Wikipedia. How can this be accomplished? Peter D. Trooboff, Covington & Burling, Washington, D.C. (ptrooboff@cov.com).
[edit] Communist Party activist from Kiev, Mikhailo Marczenko
I've deleted his name from the history section, mainly because I don't know the English spelling of his name (Marczenko is obviously Polish). BTW, I'm not sure he deserves a mention in WP, so I'll be happy to leave him out completely. --Jotel (talk) 11:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] oldest university
"The Lviv University [...] is the oldest continuously operating university in Ukraine". Does it mean there is an older university which is no longer operating? Which one??
Shouldn't this read simply "... the oldest university in Ukraine"?--Jotel (talk) 20:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think this way of phrasing it distinguishes Lviv University from NaUKMA.--Riurik(discuss) 21:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
continuously operating ? Neither the Wrocław Univwersity not this one weren't continuously operating. Universities are made of people, not of buildings. Xx236 (talk) 08:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Defunct universities and colleges in Poland
University of Königsberg and University of Wrocław are labelled as Defunct universities and colleges in Germany. I have followed the same schema. Xx236 (talk) 08:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Read WP:POINT and don't punish innocent articles for being unhappy by the unrelated dispute with your German peers. --Irpen 17:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

- Try to explain me my problems with the University of Königsberg. As far as I know the city is in Russia, not in Poland. Xx236 (talk) 07:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

- The problem with the category is that it is factually incorrect. Just because there are other such categories does not make them right. I am responding here only to this specific case of categorizing this university as being defunct and as being in Poland.--Riurik(discuss) 20:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
