[edit] U de M

Shouldn't this be at Université de Montréal instead of University of Montreal, just as the Université du Québec à Montréal has a French title instead of the English University of Quebec at Montreal? Darkcore 20:57, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

To my knowledge, nobody calls it the University of Quebec at Montreal; but people do call it the University of Montreal. However, I wouldn't strenuously object to moving it to the French title. - Montrealais
It should be University of Quebec, Montreal / University of Quebec - Montreal / University of Quebec Montreal
If University of Montreal is moved to Université de Montréal (to which I would not strenuously object either), the Laval University would need to be moved to Université Laval (if only to be fair). - Grstain 10:43, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 23:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Errors

The article contains some errors, the university was founded in 1878 (this year is the 125th anniversary), although it was not independent before 1920. What about the Longueuil campus?

[edit] Second-largest??

I haven't found any other source indicating that it is the second largest French language university in the world. The French version of the page doesn't mention this either. - Gdm 16:45, 28 September 2005 (UTC)


[edit] u de m?/

U de M ussually refers to Universitie de Moncton, not Montreal. Just thought i'd mention this as it is confusing.

[edit] Assessment

I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance, as I believe that the topic plays a strong role in Canada. Cheers, CP 14:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
