thread_title: best university in COlombia ??

message: "Los Andes" is a proper name, which I think shouldn't be translated to "The Andes"... it also sounds terrible!
In this case, this is not correct, since we are talking about a geographical feature.Andremun (talk) 14:26, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the worst case of Spanglish I have seen in a while. Either the full name Universidad de Los Andes should remain intact, or it should be translated completely into English, i.e. University of the Andes. Clearly this has been discussed over time and has not been rectified; however, failure to repair the title gives the appearance of, at best, neglect for such an important institution.

replies: text:  can you all weigh in here. All of you are multi-lingual and every time I come to this article to use it as an alma mater, I am struck by the fact that it does not follow our naming guidelines for English Wikipedia. SusunW (talk) 15:25, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem seems to be about the one in Colombia. I would opt for "Universidad de los Andes (Colombia)". (Note the small L in los.) But there should be a common approach to all the articles listed at Universidad de los Andes.--Ipigott (talk) 15:39, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proper name 

message: Looks like an infomercial, not like an encyclopedia article. There aren't references for most of the statements. Also, it´s heavily biased. Many parts of it require extensive rewrite and spell checking for God's sake
:I was agree, this article is totally against the Wikipedia is not a soapbox policy. A cleanup is urgent. Xbox6 00:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of this article's content was copied verbatim from the university's website (), and as such was a copyright violation. I have removed all the material in violation of copyright as per WP:Copyright. I also removed a few blatantly POV statements in the intro paragraph. It doesn't need a cleanup anymore so much as it needs  almost all the content required for a decent article. ~ Danelo 03:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to be that whoever is editing this article does not accept criticism. The article (to this date) continues to be utterly biased, filled with irrelevant or contradictory information (e.g. how come Alberto Lleras Camargo is an Alumnus and a Founder at the same time???), and tags whose purpose is to alert other editors have been removed. Please refer to one of the FA articles on universities, like University of Michigan and improve its prose and content. Regards - Andremun (talk) 13:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Why was the name reverted to "University of the Andes" in this diff?
That's a literal translation into English, but as per the discussion on this page, that doesn't seem to be the English name used by either the university or its staff. There is precedent for the previous name "University of Los Andes" (for example at the beginning of this interview). GanzKnusper (talk) 23:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
