Talk:University of Wrocław

message: ProhibitOnions said: there's no need for an unsourced assertion about the "correct" name, as there's no dispute
Well, the mistake is made very often, also by Polish. And it is not unsourced, the name is regulated by an official document form the president of the univesity. But I will not argue, you're the administrator here. -- Kajetan Wandowicz 20:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sourced what could be found 

message: This article mainly covers the German University of Breslau until 1945. It should be moved (to preserve the edit history) accordingly and trimmed to pre-1945, then a new article can be compiled about the post 1945 Polish University of Wrocław. See University of Königsberg for a similar case. -- Matthead  Discuß   08:29, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, starting a new article from scratch for Breslau would probably be better. Possible sources, at least up to 1913, are http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Breslau and http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Breslau . Accordingly, I've started :Category:University of Breslau faculty and :Category:University of Breslau alumni.-- Matthead  Discuß   23:35, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  University of Breslau 

message: So, the university, full of Poles and also Jews, was, basically, a hotbed of Anti-Polonism and Antisemitism? And moreover, of course, a arch of Polish traditions in German occupied Wroclaw, right? Good work, Molobo. Karasek (talk) 14:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What's contradictory about that? Remember that "full" here means 16% Polish, 10% Jewish. That still leaves 74% of Germans to carry out the anti-polonism and anti-semitism.radek (talk) 02:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem, dear Radek, is that Molobo only picked the facts that he liked and the entire article therefore was about the suppression of minorities, but not about the the university itself, the actual subject of this article. I don't know many articles here at Wikipedia which almost entirely ignore the subject. Which is particular striking, since most older universities in Europe housed a large number of students from abroad. But until now I failed to see a single article which focuses almost entirely on a particular group of students. Karasek (talk) 05:46, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

text: As suggested above, the article (and related categories etc.) should be split. It makes no sense to pretend 19th century persons studied at a Polish university in Wroclaw.-- Matthead  Discuß   22:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that's necessary. After all the modern Polish university doesn't consider itself to be a new university. But the article is deeply flawed bc of Molobos POV, who simply picked some (sometimes unrelated) facts from a book which isn't about the university. Even if you create a new article about the university before '45 some editors will probably start an edit war to save Molobos "facts". Karasek (talk) 06:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The book is about the city and history of the university is part of the history of the city. What's the problem?radek (talk) 02:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Then please use the book and tell me also when the Polish and Jewish student organisations were founded, tell me about liberal Judaism in Breslau and the large number of Jewish professors at the university, tell me about German student organisations, tell me about the suppression of German students and their organisations and so on. Without all this it's simply POV pushing. Karasek (talk) 05:46, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Where in the world do you see POV pushing? If you have the book, by all means, please use it to expand the article. I also note that so far it is the only source provided in the article.radek (talk) 06:42, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Well, what does the rest of the world consider the modern Polish university: to be a new university, to be a continuation of the former German university, or possibly even a continuation of the former Polish university in Lwow/Lemberg/Lviv? -- Matthead  Discuß   00:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Comment I came here, because suddenly a category of a watched article changed. (I've got no problems with that.) But this discussion seems weird to me, if the university itself see it as a successor and it can be sourced, this is the article about the main university in Wroclaw/Breslau (or whatever); the modern Polish, the Nazi, and the old German (and whatever country, kingdom, and principality in between). The history of the university has to be noted and explained in the article (and the alumni and faculty of the old university can listed in the 'main' categories). This discussion is another example, why I don't edit any Polish-German article, per WP:DISENGAGE (but I don't think I'll come back later). Many articles has a strong bias, and editors are trying to push their view, that's fine by me because I know how to read those articles (or wikipedia on the whole). Although I was concerned about this at first, now I'm smiling, that something like the Danzig rule (Talk:Gdansk/Vote) had to be established, and Nicolaus Copernicus/Kopernikus/Kopernik is even an article to make some waves. I know, I'm breaking my policy by posting here, but I want to wish all editors to have fun and a good time. Cheers Sebastian scha. (talk) 10:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Unbiased article?

message: It is way too long and undue. Are there any other articles on Universities that include such lists? I checked University of Lviv, University of Vilnius, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Harvard University, Yale University, University of Fiji, Auburn University, Michigan State University, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Swarthmore College, Jacksonville State University, National University of Mongolia, University of Gdańsk, Mikołaj Kopernik University in Toruń, University of Strasbourg, Paul Verlaine University - Metz, Nancy-Université, Technical University of Liberec, Humboldt State University, Humboldt University of Berlin, University of Calcutta, University of Nairobi, Uppsala University, University of Malta, University of Phoenix, Podunck Community College ... Chico State... PCU ... Hogwarts University ... and then I got bored looking it up. All that those articles got is notable alumni and professors. If some rector is notable (has a Wiki article) then of course they can be included. The list is unprecedented. There's no reason to have it in this article except to include a long list of people with German names to counter balance the few with Polish ones and to get some payback for the fact that this isn't under "University of Breslau". 
It would be fine to start a separate "List of" article but here it is simply undue.radek (talk) 07:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of rectors 

message: "bastions of Poledom" were not found by me in the source presented as containing the text. Also added other information that actually was in the source, plus the date of petition for university in Poznan.

thread_title:  Source doesn't confirm claim 

message: " ...Many of the students came from other areas of partitioned Poland ..." implies that Breslau was was a part of partitioned Poland. This is wrong, see the page on partitions of Poland. 
I can't see anywhere the text Bastion of Poledom.Ok I found it.

message: I guess it is rather absurd that the present University of Wrocław claims any connection to the German Universität Breslau. I advocate that the text on the German university be moved to a dedicated article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stan Tincon (talk • contribs) 12:36, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The University of Breslau is the University of Wroclaw. Breslau and Wroclaw are the same city. What's absurd is the thinking that there needs to be two separate articles for one university. Mike Winowicz (talk) 19:06, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
