Biased addition to List of Belgian institutions
Your addition to List of universities in Belgium seems biased. When you write that "Universities and university colleges in Belgium offer programmes in which Dutch or French is the language of instruction. Some offer programmes taught in English." you probably focus on university colleges. As I wrote: Most universities (and I did not write 'university colleges on purpose) have programmes in English. Some actually even in Spanish or Chinese. You seem to want to underscore teaching in other languages by the traditional Belgian universities.

Your next addition is legally completely wrong though. "A few international institutions of higher education, offering accredited programmes, are present in Belgium, through European accords, or by virtue of other national or international legal rights." This is incorrect. According to OECD, WTO (GATS) and EU policies and regulations national governments are fully responsible for higher education offered in their country even by foreign private institutions. They should have transparent procedures in place to accept foreign higher education institutions. This means that international institutions can -already at the moment- get a recognition in Belgium (through the communities). The two institutions you added are not recognised though. This means that their diplomas are not recognised by any government in Belgium.

The Brussels School of International Studies should be on the list of British universities because they award British diplomas (whatever their recogntition). In Belgium, a diploma awarded by this institution needs to be recognised as a foreign qualification by a NARIC.

THIERRY is also not a recognised Belgian institution. They award diplomas from Brexgata University Academy. Brexgata is not undisputed; as one can read here. Brexgata claims accredition by UCRED. UCRED is an organisation which only seems to accredit Brexgata. Totally contrary to common practices among accreditation organisations they also don't publish their accredited programmes. In conclusion of the above, I would like to ask you to remove the two additions unless you can proof that they are recognised by either the Flemish, the French or the German Community of Belgian. --O-AoA-o 14:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ambiorix. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ambiorix~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:55, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
