Information icon Hello, I'm Aloneinthewild. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Could you explain why you are removing templates from German university articles? Aloneinthewild (talk) 10:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, university ranking is used usually to show a high standing of that university and not vice versa. The ranking is quite controvertible, especially with regard to German universities. Currently, three German universities (Munich, TU Munich and Heidelberg) are always listed as the leading three German universities on the ranking lists without exception, which I highlighted respectively in the respective items. However, rankings of the rest of the German universities are rather poor considering their excellence - for instance, Berlin, Göttingen, Freiburg, Tübingen. Bonn, Frankfurt, Cologne, Hamburg etc. are not that bad as the rankings seemingly show. The reasons for their lower ranking are complicated. But highlighting their rankings as 100-200 or even 200-300 in such a uniform list would be unfair and far more disgraceful than respectable (or even stigmatising) for these universities. It is much better not to take that lower standing for serious - I guess most members of those universities would agree with me.
