The names of the universities in the info-box are not the complete offical names but always the short-forms. Mostly the town is given, but why not Berlin? How shall a reader know that the "Friedrich Wilhelm University" is the Berlin University? Of course, one may take the link, but the info-box should give the key-informations at the first look. And it is ambigeous, there was another "Friedrich Wilhelm Unisersity" in Bonn, so the town is important. The official German name at that time was "Königliche Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin" (= Royal Friedrich Wilhelm University at Berlin). Dioskorides (talk) 20:49, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That has been resolved in both this article and the main one on the university itself. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 15:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
