[edit] Opinion based claims

"It is considered the best university in the country and leads the way in education in Colombia" is written in passive voice and does not represent a verifiable fact. it would be best to write " it has been ranked 1st in the country, according to xxx newspaper" or "it appears ranked xxx according to the study published by yyy" if such information exists. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Carlosj (talk • contribs).

  • Exactly. I removed that phrase. Per WP:NPOV a published reliable source must be provided. --Canaima 16:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Misleading information

I tried to revert the last two changes by Ricarrillo but i can't. Anywhere, i erased that because is lie. 201.228.95.10 21:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coat

We need an image of the coat, it used to be one but was erased. I don´t know much about copyright or trademark, but I think it falls under fair use. See here for the actual coat.Canaima 23:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I checked Wikipedia:Logos an upload an appropriate image of the seal.Canaima 01:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Protest

I removed the articles at the beginning of the "Protest" section, because they are not related directly to the National University. I remember these news when they appeared, and the universities mentioned in that report didn't include the university. Moreover, I read again the articles, and the name of the university is, again, not included there. -- Sergioroa 07:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I agree, those isn't proper references; actually they didn't mention the university. This section should be rewritten (indeed, the whole article) to provide more context and a better account of the subject. Canaima 21:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
  • there are other things more important to name of the University, they do not damage the name of the most representative and important University of Colombia --Rubashkyn 01:09, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Rewrite of the article should follow the structure described at Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities#Structure. The article of Rajshahi University could serve as guide. Also, a reference to the Spanish Wikipedia is not appropriate, it must be to a primary source (published). --Canaima 17:14, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
