the
College Park suffix. I'm not an expert, but as far as I know the NCAA is neither cause nor effect. Calling UNC North Carolina in an academic sense is not ambiguous in identifying the school but neither is it correct. An extreme example: we could put Cal for UC Berkeley and almost everyone would know what we were talking about, but I don't think many people would argue it appropriate. It seems to me that when these things occur elsewhere in Knowledge (XXG), the normal course is use official names, and in alphabetical order. I don't know enough about all the schools to correct any of the schools that need extra information, but it sounds like you do, so maybe you could go ahead and add it.

school is often clearly the subject of the generic term. However, I still stand by my comment made a year ago under the UNC section above: I'm not opposed to specifying each school campus, but I find it unnecessary. If consensus is that it should be done, then it should be done across the board, not only for select schools and not with typos as you introduced yesterday.—

flagship campus rather than a single campus, it's referring to the flagship. Reasonable accommodations are made for schools that don't fit that scheme or that have multiple campuses, such as the SUNY and UC schools. I wouldn't be adamantly opposed to all system schools uniformly displaying specific campuses, but it seems unnecessary.—
366:
Thank you for not changing it back. I understand that North
Carolina is perhaps not the best description of the school, but there really isn't that much of a mystery behind the scheme being used. Almost every single public school on the list is a "University of " or " State University". If there is a

I've updated the template to use the names of the articles (save for the SUNY campuses). That way, the authors of each university article can be the final arbiters of the name of the school.

name. Ask yourself this: When someone says
University of North Carolina, which campus do you think they're talking about? Maybe you're trying to show respect for the rest of the system, but Knowledge (XXG) strives to serve as broad of an audience as possible. On a national level, UNC is Chapel Hill.—

I'm the one who made it "Wash U" to begin with, because I wanted to differentiate from the
University of Washington above, and because I'm from the St. Louis area and I know that's what people call it. However, now that it's been spelled out anyway, I'm thinking that it really wouldn't matter if the

I'm not going to revert your change since I don't think this is that big of a deal, but I feel since the name is not really used it should be left unabreviated as

box after all
University of Iowa and University of Tennessee are often referred to by those nicknames, similarly many viewers are unaware of Washington University's various nicknames as they might have only heard of the school from US News and world report, or when reading about medical advancements

I just saw this. The template looks fine to me. I guess
Minnesota, Maryland, Missouri, and Texas A&M are system schools, but they all call the one particular university of that name officially or in all promotional literature. Missouri just changed back and Maryland are actively discouraging

438:
Yes, it is nice to have a compact template. The use of flagships here is not overt; we're not using the word "flagship" anywhere on the template. I've had it out with other
Wikipedians over use of the term and the creation of a list of flagships. I was not in favor of that. However, this is not the

I think you are confusing the precedent for inclusion of abbreviated name, As a person who knows graduates from

Many of the schools listed here have multiple campuses, all of which could technically be called simply by their state's name. However, we're trying to keep the list as tidy as possible. When there is clearly a flagship campus of the system, it should be sufficient to label it simply by its state
356:
Which would be a better argument if the template said "UNC", or even "University of North Carolina", but it doesn't. It simply says "North Carolina". I realize that the template is supposed to be terse, but it seems to me that this usage is obtuse. I don't know, I guess the full names of some

324:"U" was dropped and "Washington" was repeated. Then there's no issue of what people really call it; it is simply the proper name of the university. I don't think people would get it confused with the public school, as the links are of course different.—
266:
It might be stilled used in marketing, the thing is, I have never heard it used in spoken use. Not once. The only time I've even read Washington U. before this was in The Glass Menagerie by Tennesse Williams. It seems that the use is pretty dated.

argue that this doesn't necessarily help the template; it certainly doesn't make it more readable or succinct. But at least it's consistent. You could perhaps take out every instance of "University (of)", but it ends up looking a little goofy.—

I would like for the newest members of the AAU to be added to this list. Including Dartmouth College, University of California, Santa Cruz, and University of Utah. If someone else with authority could do that, it would be greatly appreciated!
