Talk:University of Turku/Archive 1

Thingy
I spotted the "22 040" thingy immediately when reading this article. I was previously contacted about the article 22040, which has since been deleted. I said I didn't know anything about it, because I don't live in Turku. I still don't live in Turku, but now I see the story is more notable than I thought it was. Who added the information about "22 040" into the article? &mdash; J I P  | Talk 20:31, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Chino did, in Novemeber 2004. It appears valid. --Kizor 02:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

COPYVIO!
Oh for Frak's sake. The history section, as it is now, fails with flying colors when compared to the university's own English history. Where do we go from here? Do we nuke everything and start over? Destroy the offending part and most of the edit history? Have me rewrite it and act casual? Anyone? --Kizor 06:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Contact the University of Turku (the name of the person who wrote the text is at the bottom of the site) and ask whether the text can be used under the GFDL licence. They have to understand that permission to reproduce the text is not enough - we need permission to mercilessly edit the text and give it to other GFDL projects.

Fair use rationale for Image:Utu logo.gif
Image:Utu logo.gif 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.

5,000 doctoral students in UniTurku is non-sense. Has to be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.232.102.148 (talk) 16:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Royal Academy
Would someone please explain why there's a section about the Royal Academy of Turku? Sure it was significant to the town itself, and thus could easily be included in the history part of the article concerning Turku, but has absolutely nothing to do with the modern (that is, the existing) University of Turku, since Royal Academy still exists under the name University of Helsinki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.145.243.33 (talk) 13:06, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

English translation of motto
The English translation of the motto "Vapaan kansan lahja vapaalle tieteelle" in the info box translates "vapaa tiede" into "liberal sciences". Is this an accurate English translation of the motto, when the intention of the motto is to refer to the free practice of science (which is related to Finland's recently-gained independence at the time of the university's founding)?
