links to Humboldt University in Berlin ?

from a similar (former) name, do two universities have any links to each other ? -- 210.213.2.74 15:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA on hold

This article is well written but needs some more improvement

For a very in-depth article, the lead needs to be expanded to give a more comprehensive summary of the whole article
The article should point out that Joseph Ratzinger was the future Pope Benedict XVI
The article lacks sources. The first paragraph has no source. Nor does the vast part of the history section
Wikilinks on years need to be consistent - either link all or link none.
The history section is well written and informative. It just needs sources
Year spans should be written 1901–1944 and not 1901-1945.
Comma consistency in numbers needed. Some use "10,000" and others "2,500" [no commas]
There are some minor grammar issues to be ironed out, eg "The university also confers about 800 Ph.D.'s [sic]" and "the teacher's [sic] education" and other similar glitches. Asian and Oriental need to be capitalised
"300 million Euro" - is the plural Euro(s)?
Shouldn't things like "Deparment of Economics" be caps as they are proper nouns? In many places, these things are not capitalised
"treating the history of the early Christians in the late antiquity" - should this be "treating the history of the early Christians to the late antiquity"??
For the research institutions section, it would be better to prosify it if possible. also the refs
In the research section, the persistent use of "University of Bonn" is somewhat repetitive
The referencing appears to the main deficiency
The other main lack of content appears to be about university politics. Perhaps in Germany, everything is nice and all the focus is on quality and raising skill levels :) and there are no political and business problems like there are in Australia :(. In Australia, there are usually controversies every now and then like pay-students, overseas pay-students from China to raise revenue, accusations that the university is interested in making money rather than focusing on standards and quality, business deals etc. Also there is nothing about how the university is operated - university council, policy making and those sorts of things.
There is nothing about student clubs and extra-curricular things. Are there sports clubs, choirs and orchestras at this university??
The article also needs more independent sources. At the moment there is too much emphasis on official university paraphernalia
