message: Sure, this article is a stub. However, doubting the notability for a Wikipedia article of one of the leading research universities in Germany is, well, a bold claim, to say the least. --elwood_j_blues (talk) 00:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I was bold and merged the page of the University of Karlsruhe in this one. This was a rather superficial merge, and needs quite a bit of work still, but heck, I think it is an improvement over the previous situation. I hope someone will continue on improving it :) --denny vrandečić (talk) 22:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

message: English Wiki: In 1885 the institution was renamed a Technische Hochschule
German Wiki: 1865 wurde das Polytechnikum durch Großherzog Friedrich I. zur Technischen Hochschule erhoben
So, here 1885 there twenty years earlier! which is correct???

thread_title:  record in data transfer 

message: I just thought this was a translation error perhaps resulting from the fact of someone seeing the term "Informatik" on one of the KIT's German pages and then taking this to mean what is strictly meant by informatics in English, especially in academic contexts. But then I noticed that the KIT themselves actually use the term informatics on their English pages too! While in (most of) the English-speaking world there is now also a discipline quite officially known as informatics, this appears unfortunate to me, since the latter, of course, is not usually (a synonym for) computer science, whereas "Informatik" in German can always be understood to mean just that: computer science, and nothing else. Thus, and properly speaking, the KIT's "department of informatics" is really what in English normally would be known as a department of computer/computing science and, similarly, you can be taking courses in computer science at KIT, yet you cannot take such in informatics (which, as a field of study, rather seems to be a peculiarity of the Anglosphere anyway; there surely are counterparts in German-speaking countries, yet because here "Informatik" is already in use, those tend to have entirely different names, lest there pop up ambiguities.)
Naturally we cannot change terminologies the KIT prefer to use on their website. And considering that they call it "informartics" themselves, this article can hardly be blamed for merely having adopted these. What, instead, I'd like to propose is that there might be a little clarification to the following effect: with respect to the KIT note that -> informatics = computer science; informatics != (anglophone) informatics. Maybe it's not a big deal at all, though I must say that, as it is now, it reads rather odd and ambiguous (in case you don't know better), and I'm not even a native speaker (of English). But I'll leave this to you, or, whoever may feel concerned. Zero Thrust (talk) 17:45, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Looks like this was proposed several times before but never entirely carried out, but let's give it another shot. The old article is at this point quite outdated. The University of Karlsruhe doesn't exist as a legal entity any more, it was absorbed into the KIT. I suggest merging all worthwhile content from the old article into here, then turning it into a redirect. BegbertBiggs (talk) - de 17:50, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

message: The term elite used in the introduction seems a bit over the top and sounds odd. The commonly used term in German would be Exzellenzuniversität as in Spitzenuniversität. It boils down to the fact that the university receives special funding and is regarded a university of excellence.
