Talk:University of Copenhagen

message: I don't think it is a good idea to merge the mentor-page with the University of Copenhagen page. The content is not similar enough, even though the mentor-page relates to an activity at the university. There are numerous such activities and groups at the university, and if they should all be described at the University of Copenhagen page, the page would be endless. It is better just to link or refer to the mentorpage.Adba 14:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say a) expand the mentor page to cover other student groups or b) delete it. --dllu 01:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Merging these pages doesn't make any sense. Since no other comments have been made in the past month I'll remove the merge sign. Superdix 22:24, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: User:PZFUN wrote that the University of Copenhagen is a private school. But I was under the impression that it was funded by the government (at least I don't pay tuition fees), which contradics that, no? looking at Public school the term seems not to be well defined for international usage, but State school seems appropriate.

message: I made an infobox for Danish universities (:Template:Infobox Danish University). It is simply copied from the Swedish one, but adapted to the info I could find on the Copenhagen University website. I couldn't find any numbers on how to break up the student body into undergraduate and doctoral students, nor on how large a part of the staff is actually teaching staff. Look at the Swedish box at Uppsala University for comparison. If these things can be found, the template can be adjusted accordingly. "Athletics" is important at American universities and doesn't really need to be in the infobox for European universities any more than a lot of other student activities or societies. / up◦land 23:04, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I have updated the list of notable faculty and alumni and added a paragraph about KUs reputation and university ranking.--Mecil 18:39, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As this list can no doubt grow much longer, I think you should consider just mentioning a handful of the most well-known names in a paragraph here, and branching the long list off to a separate List of University of Copenhagen people, but it really needs some structure and biographical annotation. Take a look at List of Uppsala University people (which I have made), for an example of one way to do this. up◦land 08:40, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That is a very nicely made list for Uppsala University. Hopefully we will over time create a similar one for the University of Copenhagen. As of now the list is just structured alphabetically by surname. The list was there before and I made some additions of Nobel laureates and Danish Prime Ministers. I believe people from both categories must included in any list of notables. --Mecil 13:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The section about the seal / coat of arms could be improved by adding a bit about the former symbol used during the union with Norway. This seal showed symbols of both countries. Examples are depicted in both Herlev Church and Ganløse Church. Erling Svane's "I Skjoldet springe Løver" (p. 138), confirms the person depicted as King Christian III.

message: The University of Copenhagen was founded
 in 1479 as the first university in Denmark. 
I have often seen it stated that the Studium Generale in Lund (at that time a Danish town), founded in 1425 and started in 1438 was the first university of Denmark (and Scandinavia). (The University of Lund has made requests to count their age from the founding of the Studio Generale, but that has been denied. The Studio Generale was closed at the time of the protestant reformation, and the University of Lund opened some time after that.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.224.153.255 (talk) 11:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Denmark's first University? 

message: Am I the only one who thinks the list is a bit too long. I understand having people like Niels Bohr and Grundtvig on the list, but Per Stig Møller and Thor Petersen are not notable enough in my opinion. Most of the names will only make sense to a Dane, and are not notable on a global scale. Snailwalker | talk 18:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. And I am not even sure all of those are actual alumni - the list just says "notable people".·Maunus· ·ƛ· 23:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm starting to agree, even if I did most of the work on this list myself back in 2005. Just read it again and removed the danish UN ambassador. We can debate if key government ministers are notable enough, but if we start to include ambassadors the list will become unmanageable quite soon. I'd like to see a list that includes Nobel laureates and other key people such as Naur, the Bartholin's, Holberg and the like, but I am unsure what criteria we can use that isn't just arbitrary. Any good ideas?  Mecil (talk) 06:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "Founded in 1479, it has more than 37,000 students, a majority of which are female"
Is the overrepresentation of females really significant enough to warrant mention in the first paragraph? Does anyone have the actual numbers on this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kranak (talk • contribs) 13:00, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked the numbers. Total number of students, 33.553, women 19.159 -- 57%. I guess that's significant enough to warrant a mention. I'll correct the numbers on the article as well. Superdix 22:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe some of the Nobel laureates associated with the University of Copenhagen did not necessarily study at the University; they did, however, have positions and pursued their research there. I suggest we make a separate list for the Nobel laureates. Superdix 09:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Does the seal actually read "Sigillum Universitatis Hafniensis A Christiano III Rege Restauravit"? The image is too small to make out the text, and "restauravit" is found all over the web as the text - but Latin-wise, it doesn't make to much sense: "Seal of Copenhagen University, by King Christian III He Has Restored". I was expecting "Restauratae": "Seal of the C. University, which has been restaured by King Christian III". Anyone with more knowledge of the actual seal?

message: The article :University of Copenhagen Center for Planetary Research has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-notable content on a former minor institution. All references seem to be to primary sources, and the content seems to be somewhat promotional, in that it adds positive-sounding descriptions to an otherwise non-notable entity. As the centre has been closed, it seems this article is not relevant.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. I thought it would be good to put this here to inform those involved with editing pages of the university.  Shadowssettle(talk) 08:58, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
