10,000 professors!!![edit]

The introduction states that the university has 10,000 professors! I really doubt that! Is there any source to that information? Also, please note that professor is not a good translation of the Spanish profesor: lecturer or teacher are more appropiate. A Professor is a senior lecturer or teacher.

You have a good point. 10,000 instructors is more realistic than 10,000 professors. We should probably remove it since it's an unsourced statistic. There's no mention of "10,000 professors" on the Spanish article. — J3ff 19:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

75,000 students seems a little implausible too but I guess it's possible. I agree with taking out the reference to professors. Even if it really refers to instuctors I doubt there would be that many either. I'll try to see if I can verify the student numbers. GringoInChile 19:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found a site that puts the number of students at over 82 thousand [[1]]. No mention of the number of teachers though.

I did some snooping around and am willing to bet that the figure in question came from this page at UNLP web site:

La planta de trabajadores de la UNLP está compuesta por 8.032 docentes y 2.143 no docentes.

The 8032 member teaching faculty still sounds large high but but is more reasonable in light of the higher student population estimate above and the fact that it need not literally mean "professor" as understood in English. -Onceler 20:46, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the figure though better wording might be in order. I am not sure what better general word would describe the entire teaching faculty of a modern university. Good catch though. -Onceler 20:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed instructors to teaching staff. I think that term covers all possible types of docente--GringoInChile 21:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mucho, Mucho Gobbledegook[edit]

Por favor: Will some brave soul step up to the plate and untangle the Mayan spaghetti of the paragraph "From 1921 to 1927...LR11 Radio University"? My head hurts!Writtenright 05:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Writtenright[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:UNLP.gif[edit]

Image:UNLP.gif 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 this Wikipedia article 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 04:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
