Unsourced?

I'm considering deleting/radically changing the paragraph about the University of Padua, since I can't find a source for the claim that said university was founded before 1222. The specific article linked above - which is way more accurate and reliable, I might add - doesn't mention this at all. Assuming it's just speculation, I'm adding a citation needed warning for now. -- Angelikfire (talk) 14:25, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I'm a student of medieval history at the University of Padua, and nobody thinks about claiming something different than 1222 as the foundation year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.162.175.48 (talk) 14:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italian universities → Higher education in Italy – The article talks about the whole system, not just about universities Karlfritz (talk) 22:38, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this only deals with tertiary education. "higher" means different things in different contexts, or to different people, including secondary education. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 08:13, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but this comment is simply wrong. "Higher" means different things in general but not in this context. Check the definition of "higher education" written in the Oxford Dictionary and the Merriam Webster Dictionary. You could also look all the other "Higher education in [...]" pages here on Wikipedia, you will see what it means. The article Higher education is self-explaintory as well. Furthermore, the page "Higher education in Italy" is currently a redirect to this page. Wikipedia should have a harmonized -and correct- structure. --Karlfritz (talk) 03:49, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It should use a less ambiguous title, like Tertiary education in Italy. This article does not appear to cover vocational education in non-university settings, which is part of "higher education", and what our article on higher education also says. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 21:14, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hum... Please don't forget that we already have the category Category:Higher education by country. But I agree with your new point: I added some information about vocational education, even if there's not much to add, in Italy (sadly). Now I think we can move the page to "Higher education in Italy" with no further hesitation. Thanks for your useful suggestions! --Karlfritz (talk) 23:41, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, looks more professional and up to the article topic, and matches the global category name better. I took a look at Special:PrefixIndex/Higher education in, and there is a lot of pages, but it's tough to draw conclusions about general style; many are redirects, but to pages named Special:PrefixIndex/List of universities in... On the other hand, we have Higher education in the United States or Higher education in China, which matches this article's style (prose) and topic rather nicely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by No such user (talk • contribs) 16:11, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, I agree with the nominator. JIP | Talk 05:37, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
