Name of the university
[edit]Université de Picardie Jules Verne calls itself the University of Picardie Jules Verne on its English language web site. (Retrieved 2007-10-27.) In so doing, it identifies itself with the present-day region of Picardie rather than the historic province that is called Picardy in English.
Please also see the naming guidelines for French universities.

- Some of this is really quite far-fetched, MyPOV. English uses "Picardy" for both the historic province and the modern region. The question is not which of the two of them the university identifies with, but simply what the common name is in English-language reliable sources. Moonraker (talk) 00:17, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Back in 2007, English language Wikipedia made a distinction between Picardy (the historic province) and Picardie (name ending in -ie, the contemporary administrative region of France), each with their own separate page. A change was made in 2009, to use the -y spelling for both of them, and it appears that they now share a single page. More recently, the administrative region has been dissolved and merged with Nord-Pas-de-Calais into a new region called Hauts-de-France. The university these days uses a mixture of -ie and -y endings when it self-identifies on its English-language pages. Applying the naming guidelines for French universities, I have renamed the article to follow the -y ending. MyPOV (talk) 09:57, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

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.
