Talk:Unc

UNC refers to the 17-school system. It does not officially refer to any branch of the system. Please stop redirecting.

UNC also refers to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is an official abbreviation as you can see here. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see this: and browse the site some. UNC refers to the system. UNC-CH is the official abbreviation of Chapel Hill. 143.165.8.50 (talk) 20:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That is a very interesting link to the UNC system website. If you go to that page and move your cursor over "UNC-Chapel Hill" a box pops up which says "Now in its third century, UNC-Chapel Hill was the first public university to open its doors to students. UNC's academic offerings include..." So even the UNC system's own website refers to UNC-Chapel Hill as simply "UNC." Also, "UNC-CH" is definitely not the official abbreviation. If you read the article I pointed you to you will see that the individual universities in the UNC system determine what the official abbreviations are. And it is clear in the article that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill wants "UNC" to be the official abbreviation and not "UNC-CH." Rreagan007 (talk) 01:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * 'UNC' is the system. I will make UNC go to a disambig page where people can choose until we get this resolved.  Perhaps we can bring in an admin to mediate? 143.165.8.50 (talk) 13:16, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, there appears to be a discussion going on at the UNC page. let's continue this discussion over there.  143.165.8.50 (talk) 13:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

If this is changed its going to have to go through WP:RM anyway, since there is already a dab at UNC (disambiguation). UNC-CH was deprecated in 2002, see. Also see my point the talk page of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that the trademark is that of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since there is a pre-existing discussion at Talk:University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, please address comments there. Thanks. Hippo (talk) 14:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
