[edit] The name of the university
It looks like someone has moved the article, as it is now at European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder). However, this is a pretty senseless name in English, and it should logically be Viadrina European University, Frankfurt (Oder). This latter term is usually used by English-speakers within the Viadrina, but the main website uses the word-for-word translation of the German name (Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder)). I'm always reluctant to change page names, but I don't think the EUV has ever bothered to settle on an "official" English name, as there are several other variants in use, and so the ungrammatical translation that appears on their homepage seems to be most often used. Anyone else, especially those from within the EUV, have any thoughts on this? ProhibitOnions 18:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
