It was suggested that this article should be renamed Tel Aviv University. The vote is shown below:
The official name is Tel Aviv University, NOT Tel-Aviv University. See their website. It is located in Tel Aviv, NOT Tel-Aviv. gidonb 22:20, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
I agree. DirectorStratton 00:46, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you, DirectorStratton. That means we have a consensus. gidonb 03:05, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- But the move did not work. I do not have sufficient rights. I will leave it to a moderator to execute the name change. Whenever one feels it is appropriate. gidonb 03:09, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
-
- Can't we just copy the page information and leave a redirect? DirectorStratton 03:44, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

- Then the edit history will not be associated with the edits. Don't worry, at some stage a moderator will come along. If no one will in about a week time, I will call one. gidonb 06:29, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 09:22, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
On the other hand, the official name in Hebrew does have a hyphen in the name of Tel Aviv...
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo-tel-aviv.jpg
Image:Logo-tel-aviv.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] reverting my edits
The article as it now stands sounds like gibberish. What is an on-site university? Universities have a student population - they don't teach xxxx students. Encyclopedias don't insert sentences like ("in no particular order"). This article is substandard by all accounts. Whoever gave it a B rating doesn't know what's flying. Listing faculties and departments is not an article. There is no content, apart from promotional material to "attract" overseas students. Since when does a university receive "autonomy" from a municipality? This article needs content. There is plenty of work to do, apart from reverting my edits.--Gilabrand 19:10, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, it may not be a great article, but that doesn't mean you should start deleting content.
- "On-site" means the students study on-site, as opposed to the Open University (which has more registered students, mostly because a people spent much longer times studying for a degree, and many just take a few courses).
- "in no particular order" - Yea, okay. You could have just removed that (as I did right now).
- "autonomy" - see here. okedem 19:59, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Whoever wrote that stuff for the website doesn't know English either. Municipalities don't grant autonomy to universities. Maybe they are saying that the university was built in a suburb that is outside the jurisdiction of the TA municipality, or something of that sort. But so what? It is a piece of non-information. There are more important things to say about this university. Kadima, la'avoda. What is the university best known for?--Gilabrand 20:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- I suppose they meant independent status (giving the university jurisdiction over some municipal issues, such as building licenses). The university was built on an area under Tel-Aviv's jurisdiction.
- What's it known for? I don't know... Left wing academics (i.e Tanya Reinhart, etc)? It has a great Physical Chemistry department, that I do know. okedem 21:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
