Talk:Université catholique de Louvain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
please take a look at Talk:Catholic University of Leuven, for a proposal on moving the common history of the two universities to a separate article. --Lenthe 09:53, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV dispute - History
It seems to me that the historical part of this article is not neutral. It appears rather biased towards the French speaking community. Especially the following part caught my attention:
- Up to that year, resentment had been growing among Flemings because of privileges given to French-speaking academic staff and the perceived lack of respect by the local French-speaking community for Flanders, wherein Leuven lies. Some French-speakers proposed to change the administrative status of Leuven, including it in a larger, bilingual 'Greater-Brussels'. On the other hand, some Flemish nationalists wanted to expel any trace of the French language from Flanders and could not stand a bilingual university there.
Just using the words some in 'some French-speakers' and 'some Flemish' does not attain the neutrality from my point of view. Note: I'm criticizing the writing style here, not the content. Any ideas on how to proceed? --Jadriaen 20:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know why the use of some disrupt you. Do you want to say all the Flemish instead of? Dedez 22:09, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

- Dear Dedez, the use of some does not bother me at all. It are the other terms that are biassed,

- Yes of course, everything is always biased in favour of the French speaking community, but at the end of the day, they were the one who got kicked out of Leuven. The use of the word "some" makes absolutely no semantic difference. Use the word "some", or "a few", or "a handful", it makes no difference. The truth is you just can't use the word "none" in this instance and that's what sad about the whole story. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 145.221.52.72 (talk) 12:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC).
