Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden

Hi!

This morning I created the article Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden. I thought, the title is a good idea, because on [1] the university calls itself like this. When I added the article to the category Category:Universities and colleges in Bavaria I recognized, that probably "Amberg-Weiden University of Applied Sciences" would be a better idea. I am not sure, can you help me? Thank you very much in advance! Bebbe (talk) 08:49, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

The guideline is that the name used should be the the name commonly used in English language reliable sources. As names aren't always translated, this may well be the native language name rather than its translation. If there is no established usage in English sources, you should use the common name in the native language. This may well be the case here – it looks to me, on a vary quick search, like the German name is used in some places and various translations in others, without one translation being used consistently. It's probably a good idea to give a translation of the German name in the lead of the article so readers know what it means. It's probably worth creating re-directs at some of the more common English translations as well, to help people find the article. Robminchin (talk) 16:07, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Dear Robminchin, thank you very very much for your reply, this helps me a lot. Two questions remain:

• You write, that it would be a good idea to give a translation in the lead of the article. There are two places, where translations/explications are mentioned. In the lead of the article "is a state university of applied sciences (UAS)" and in the infobox, there are both names: name = Amberg-Weiden University of Applied Sciences and native_name = Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule (OTH) Amberg-Weiden. Do you think, the current solution is a good one?
• In most of the pages, which are listed in Category:Universities and colleges in Bavaria the authors used the translated names for their articles: Regensburg University of Applied Sciences, Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, ... I think it is always a good way to use a uniform way in Wikipedia. Should the other pages be renamed?

Once more: Thank you in advance for your help!!! --Bebbe (talk) 06:49, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Additional input requested for two articles

Two articles about U.S. institutions have recently seen a lot of activity and may benefit from some additional editors.

• Emporia State University: In December, GlennenGhost added a bunch of new material to the article that painted the university in a negative light. Since then, Fourmile45 has made many edits to the article. Some of the edits are uncontroversial improvements but some edits have also removed or significantly altered what was added in December. I'm not entirely sure what to make of all of that so some additional eyes and brains would be appreciated.

• Northwestern College (Iowa)‎: Skielark is a new editor who has disclosed on their User page that they are being paid by the college to edit its article. To my eye, most of their edits seem to be productive but they are making a *lot* of edits so I'd really like a second opinion.

Input Requested for one article

One article about Catherine Emihovich (the 12th dean of the university of Florida) has seen a lot of action lately. The editors name is @Shane emihovich and It says they have a close connection with her so additional editors would be nice to help out and make sure its biased.

List of universities and colleges in the State of Palestine, which have been damaged or detroyed?

Hi all

I notice that this page has a list of universities and colleges in Gaza and there are indiviudal articles for most of them. My assumption is this list is out of date and the individual articles are also out of date given that Israel has destroyed or damaged all universities in Gaza. I don't know enough about the topic to do a good job but these are the sources I found:

• https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-01-20-24/h_06d1fdd709d1c7ef793f4afc27df029e
• https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/24/how-israel-has-destroyed-gazas-schools-and-universities
• https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/03/07/all-12-universities-in-gaza-have-been-the-target-of-israeli-attacks-it-s-a-war-against-education_6592965_4.html
• https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/israel-kills-dozens-academics-destroys-every-university-gaza-strip-enar
• https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/03/07/all-12-universities-in-gaza-have-been-the-target-of-israeli-attacks-it-s-a-war-against-education_6592965_4.html

Thanks

With the sources you've found, I think you're as prepared as anyone to update that list and its entries. The inclusion of the coat of arms of Palestine and "State of" in the title makes me wary that there may be some non-neutral bias toward trying to establish Palestine as a state. Every educational institution in Gaza probably needs a sentence or paragraph in its history section discussing what happened to it during the war. Sdkb ^talk 21:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
