A Gutenberg Bible at Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald
Hello Sky, I am editing the article about Gutenberg in the Spanish Wikipedia and noticed that the Bible that you mention is owned by the EMAU is not listed in the German article about Gutenberg Bibles. Perhaps you ought to verify and make the correction, wherever there is an error. Lcgarcia 06:24, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Hello again Sky, you are right. According to Henriette, in Greifswald there is a 36-line Gutenberg Bible, one of only 4 of this type world-wide. The German Gutenberg Bible page has been corrected already. Lcgarcia 21:50, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Bismarck in Greifswald
Bismarck studied law in Göttingen and Berlin. He was stationed as a Soldier in Greifswald. I don't think the Prussian Army of the 1830's allowed their Soldiers to study a little in their leisuretime (if that existed). Is there any official source for that claim. HerkusMonte (talk) 19:01, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I found a few Google Books texts mentioning him studying in Greifswald -, , . This book mentions Bismarck studying at the Eldena Agricultural Institute near Greifsald; how related was that institute to the university? Olessi (talk) 18:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

B class rating
I don't see any good reason why this article should be start class any longer. It is suitably referenced, reasonably covers the topic,  has a defined structure, contains supporting materials, presents its content in an appropriately accessible way and it's prose is nice. I think it deserves B class by now. You might consider rewording some phrases in a more neutral style. Good job so far Axt. Regards from Heidelberg Fred Plotz (talk) 23:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Carries a name given by Nazis in 1933-Goering to be exact.
The university was given the name of the German nationalist Ernst Arndt in 1933 by Hermann Goering,. This should be mentioned. It seems there is an initiative to remove this name, but it encounters opposition from extreme far right in the region(it's one of the strongholds of the far right movement in Germany)--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 02:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

its not only countered by far right, but also by local people who have a sentiment that students who just moved into town dont have the right to change the universitys name. also, the last rejection was not really democratic, there was a student poll with ridiculously low participation and a decision by the university senate (the majority of the senate is made up by professors, who are the smallest part of university members). therefore i removed the democratically on that part (95.33.162.109 (talk) 00:44, 22 August 2012 (UTC))

The University of Greifswald and her research partners have also been visited by a number of heads of states
The article lists mostly German politicians. It's rather typical that German politicans visits German universities, isn't it? I'm for the removal of the phrase.Xx236 (talk) 10:03, 14 November 2013 (UTC) Eight U.S. presidents have been graduates of the Harvard University, nothing about any visits.Xx236 (talk) 10:06, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

name change of the university announced
Announced but unfinished.Xx236 (talk) 06:32, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

 * There are three issues with this request:
 * The request states that there is outdated information in the article that needs to be replaced. While the replacement text has been identified, the text to be replaced has not. When substitutions are requested, the verbatim text and references accompanying the new text and the old text both need to be included with the request.
 * The DFG source provided with many of the claims here states only that the university is an "applying institution" — and does not clarify what this means.
 * Portions of this information is already readily available on sites such as DFG. A link to DFG can be posted in the External links section for readers to locate the information themselves. It's not the practice of Wikipedia to feature the university's selection of research projects, or to act as the gateway for students/researchers who wish to peruse this information. That is a function better suited to sites such as DFG. To that end, the request should omit information which describes training groups, units, or fields of research (e.g., "RTG 1947" and "FOR 2406", etc.)
 * Regards, Spintendo  12:27, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Dear editors, The information that I have proposed on the section of 'Research' should be its own section preferrably inbetween 'cooperation' and 'statistics'. The information 'Leibnitz Institute for Farm Animal Biology, Dummerstorf' should be added to the 'research partners' in the section 'Cooperation' underneath 'Technologiepark'. The 'memberships' can be added to the 'cooperation' section underneath 'International cooperation'. The only thing that needs to be replaced is the information on 'ranking' in the section on 'Statistics' Please delete the outdated information (Today, the continued efforts to regain academic leadership are mirrored in national top placements, e.g. in the 2009 Die Zeit university ranking,[41] in several subjects including for instance biology (2009[42]), medicine (2009[43]), geography, law (2008[44]) pharmacy, psychology, dentistry (2009[45]), and business administration (2008[46]).

In 2015, the renowned Times Higher Education World University Rankings listed the University of Greifswald among the best 350 universities in the world.[47]) and replace it with the up to date information.

The information on the THE World ranking can be used to replace the old information in the little box on the side.

The issue with the DFG is a translation mistake. The research groups, units etc. have all been confirmed by the DFG and are currently active. These projects are funded by the DFG and therefore the DFG is the primary source of information.

All the information that I have provided is already up on the German Wikipedia page and would be a good and sensible supplement to the English page.
