Talk:Université de Moncton

Anglicized name
What is the policy, if any, on anglicizing the French names of Francophone institutions? We have I think this should be Université de Moncton and Université du Québec à Montréal, but also Laval University and University of Paris. It seems somewhat unnatural to me to say something like "University of Quebec at Montreal", but I have some feeling that this article should be called University of Moncton. --Saforrest 22:30, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)


 * As someone who has worked for the said university, it's Université de Moncton and nothing else, in the French and English. The university always prided itself as a French-language institution and has loudly complained when an English translation of its name has appeared in the media. - Bouchecl 05:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I moved this to its English name (University of Moncton) to conform with Wikipedia policy. Also, Bouchecl is wrong in two ways: English-speakers call it the University of Moncton and the Legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick creating the university is in fact titled in both French and English. In an English encyclopedia we use only the name Engish people know. Jonathan Logan (talk) 14:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I argue against this and will propose a return move. The Université uses only Université de Moncton in English http://www.umoncton.ca/english/, it is routinely referred to as such in English press GoogleNews, and the government legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick is in fact titled "Université de Moncton Act" / "Loi sur l’Université de Moncton".

Fair use rationale for Image:U moncton logo.png
Image:U moncton logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Monctonblueeagles.jpg
The image Image:Monctonblueeagles.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

University of Moncton → Université de Moncton — The university is called Université de Moncton even in English. This form is used by the official site and government legislation and, looking at the section above, common usage seems to agree with this. The article started as Université de Moncton in 2004 and was moved to the translated title in 2008 with little discussion. Jafeluv (talk) 08:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support per above. In the Wikipedia article, the university is referred to as "Université de Moncton" 9 times and "University of Moncton" 10 times, including title. If the move goes ahead, I would suggest that the first sentence be changed to "The Université de Moncton (En: University of Moncton)..." and all other uses of the English name be changed to French. — INTRIGUE B LUE (talk|contribs) 21:40, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Support as proposed, as discussed earlier, and per WP:CANSTYLE. It is the official name of the institution and referred to as such, in English, by the school, the government, and reliable news organisations. Double Blue  (talk) 01:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * support move based on the fact that it's the institution's official name in English and French and is always called that. And also so I don't have to be forced to drink motor oil. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:25, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
