1989–1999

[edit]

The article about Hashim Thaçi states: "During his university years, he was an Albanian student leader and the first student president of the parallel Albanian University of Pristina that broke off in 1989 (and organized in the early 1990s) from the official University due to Kosovo Albanians' protest of Slobodan Milošević's new imposed status of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija." Probably these events should be explained in the History section of this article. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:09, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Focus

[edit]

The article should be tuned to focus on its subject and to avoid having too much detail about the split. Current History section contains little detail about the "Albanian" branch in 90-s and nothing about the university since 2003. In other places there are leftovers from the previous University of Pristina battlefield (eg. "University of Pristina (Serbian)" or several lengthy citation bundles that are needed no more). I could try to do it on my own, though an editor with more insight could do it better. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 23:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

Article should be moved into University of Pristina, which is the name in English. --Rrallepermall (talk) 20:18, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Rrallepermall - It should have a name that is reasonable for an English language website. It's really silly to use a name that even involves something most English speakers don't know how to type (the dots over one letter in the name). University of Pristina (Albanian) would be my suggestion and re-name its counterpart University of Pristina (Serb). Frenchmalawi (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]

I have edited the introduction to state the English name for this institution first with the Albanian translation after, without realizing (of course, this is South-East Europe, how can there not be) that there exist parallel institutions claiming this name. Please, please can we be adult and use English-language norms, if not in the title, then at least in the introduction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.32.4.236 (talk) 10:04, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. Read talk page history, and you will understand why are those articles named like that. And do not rename articles without any agreement and talk page consensus. Thanks. --Ąnαșταη (ταlκ) 22:31, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the university (potential move)

[edit]

Should the article be moved into University of Pristina "Hasan Prishtina"? The "Hasan Prishtina" name was officially added by the senate in 2012 and appears in all official documents issued by the university, as well as the website. I am going to edit the text but I strongly believe that it should be moved. Other universities, such as Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich etc have their full name as title. --User:Uniacademic (talk) 13:19, 09 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
