== Non-notable photos ==
I don't think posting the photos of non-notable buildings in the UIUC encyclopedia article is proper. Why not post photos of Lincoln Hall and the Psych building, and... You get the idea. Main quad and engineering quad are notable. --[[User:G3pro|G3pro]] 14:23, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

== Notable Alumni ==

What's wrong with keeping ([[Max Levchin]], B.S. [[1997]], co-founder of [[PayPal]]) in Notable Alumni section? I have seen his name on a wall in Siebel Center. He also gave talks in CS dept some years ago. I do think he can be added to the notable alumni list. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 22:59, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why is there no 'at' in the article name? "University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign" rather than "University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"? The latter is stated as the official name of the institution, and seems to be the widely used version. Should it be changed? I am not directly familiar.

== Wow ==
A [[University of Maryland, College Park/Vote|new survey]] has been created to assess consensus with respect to university naming conventions, specifically regarding the usage of terms like "University of Texas" vs. "University of Texas at Austin". The poll addresses this issue both in the specific case of the "University of Maryland" and proposes an amendment to [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]] which could impact a large number of additional pages, including this one.

The section on Transportation was becoming a mini-article on the MTD, which already has a page: [[Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District]]. Awards for the MTD mentioned on this page should be referenced in the main MTD article and actually be for campus. [[User:Thesquire|Thesquire]] 22:40, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit]

Why is there no 'at' in the article name? "University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign" rather than "University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"? The latter is stated as the official name of the institution, and seems to be the widely used version. Should it be changed? I am not directly familiar.
