Where are the pictures????

Fair use rationale for Image:Erasmus Logo.jpg

Image:Erasmus Logo.jpg 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 Wikipedia articles 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 Wikipedia: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 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.BetacommandBot 04:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

disambiguation Rotterdam University

At the moment there is a redirect from Rotterdam University to Erasmus University. I think this is not correct, since the english name of Hogeschool Rotterdam is University Rotterdam Neozoon 21:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest to bring up a disambiguation page to link to both universities instead of a redirect to Erasmus university.

See the usage of the term "Rotterdam University" on the english pages of the Hogeschool Rotterdam.

http://www.hogeschool-rotterdam.nl/eCache/DEF/1/23/787.html

" Rotterdam University is the result of a merger between 19 institutions for higher professional education in 1988. In 2002 another merger took place between Rotterdam University and HES Rotterdam, an international business school. Rotterdam University is located at several sites:

   * Academieplein
   * Achterom, Dordrecht
   * Blaak
   * Kralingse Zoom
   * Lloydstraat
   * Museumpark
   * Pieter de Hoochweg
   * Wijnhaven
   * Wijnhaven 107 "

I will put the same comment on the talk page of Hogeschool Rotterdam and will ask for assistance to create the proper diambiguation page, since I do not want to mess up the pages. Neozoon 21:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can I make a remark here? The official international name for the Hogeschool Rotterdam should be Rotterdam University of Applied Science , since it is an University of Applied Science. The fact that they try to name them on their website "Rotterdam University" (without the 'of Applied Science') is a gross error and a violation from their side! The Dutch minister of Education explicitly stated that hogescholen are not universities in the Netherlands, so they can not be named like that. Althought they are allowed to be named Universities of Applied Science internationally, with the additional 'of Applied Science' to make the distinction. The fact that they try to name themself 'Rotterdam University' without the distinction is an error, and I suspect it is a deliberate one, in this way they try to creep them to the status of a real Dutch university, which they aren't.

Furthermore, "Rotterdam University", or "University (of) Rotterdam", has been used in the past by some people as an alternative unofficial name for the Erasmus University (before the Hogeschool Rotterdam was going to use it). Demophon (talk) 03:05, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Official name and clear in what place this university is located. Wikix (talk) 13:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Support: agree with Wikix's reasons.Funandtrvl (talk) 20:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support: The official name does include 'Rotterdam'. Guido den Broeder (talk, visit) 21:03, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Erasmus University Rotterdam is the whole official name, alhough Erasmus University also is used sometimes. Demophon (talk) 03:05, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

How does this move relate to Wikipedia:naming conventions? See also Wikipedia:official names. Perhaps this is an example of how consensus can change, and as policies and guidelines document communal consensus rather than creating it, so should WP:NC in due course.

copyrights

Hi, I have noticed that the History section of the article is a copy from the official website [[1]]. I am not sure how to address this problem. I have used this page also to redact the French version of the page and didn't notice it before. I'll modify the French page and consult other sources. I have not checked the rest of the article for possible other copyrights violation. Thanks, Cathrotterdam (talk) 10:37, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
