Date of Birth format[edit]

I regard it as an improvement when the place of birth is mentioned. Now I have to look in the article and sometimes place of birth and nationality is unknown. Can you agree with Name (born Place, Date)? That format only adds "Place," from your format. Otto ter Haar 09:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever fits WP:DATE or extends it meaningfully, will work. --BACbKA 11:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

University[edit]

Currently the English wikipedia page says that he graduated at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, but the Dutch and the French pages list the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Maybe a translation issue? --213.84.10.118 (talk) 12:23, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 20:25, 25 March 2010 (UTC), quote[reply]

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel listen is a Flemish university located in Brussels, Belgium.^[1] It has two campuses referred to as Etterbeek and Jette.

The university's name is sometimes abbreviated by "VUB" or translated to "Free University of Brussels". However, it is an official policy of the university not to use abbreviations or translations of its name,^[2] because of possible confusion with another university that has the same translated name: the French-speaking Université Libre de Bruxelles.
