I took out the reference to EPFL being "often referred to as the MIT of Europe" as the sources were: 1) dead and 2) pure propaganda. Since no one outside of the EPFL public relations department has ever referred to EPFL as the MIT of Europe, it just seems pathetic to try and promote this claim on wikipedia. 128.178.153.230 ( talk) 15:38, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
So, someone undid my edit with no explanation. I want to point out that of the two references given, reference 2 is dead (i.e. it goes somewhere completely unrelated) and reference 3 does not support the claim at all. The speaker refers to EPFL and ETHZ as being the Swiss equivalent of MIT. Not "Europe's MIT." Thus, the references do not support the claim at all. Further, trying to promote the idea that EPFL is "Europe's MIT" just looks like pathetic boasting by some overzealous public relations person. Why can't EPFL be Europe's EPFL? Why pretend to be something that we are not? 128.178.153.230 ( talk) 08:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
I know it might look a little unusual, but the university is referred to locally as 'the EPFL' (by staff and students, as well the PR dept). Should the article represent common usage, or how an English speaker would guess it would be used? GyroMagician ( talk) 21:31, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Musée Bolo has some info which could be included here - but WP:CWW would require that attribution be available. The following articles could probably use such an inclusion:
If notable on the English wiki, the museum could have its own article of course! -- Trevj ( talk) 14:58, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
The current title is 'École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne' — although the correct spelling of the French name is 'École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne'. Can somebody correct this mistake? Senale ( talk) 16:47, 29 January 2013 (UTC).

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne → École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne – [Helping new editor who misformated RM; at request of Wbm1085] User:Senale wants to restore to French style small caps on adjectives in titles before ancient undiscussed move from 2007. In support WP:FRMOS indicates follow French style where no English name. Google Books show all small spelling See here. Also their website doesn't use all caps, school website uses lower case polytechnique fédérale: EPFL Reception desk & Information. misformatted RM posted 16:46, 3 February 2013 Senale ( Senale) In ictu oculi ( talk) 02:14, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne → École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne – When this school is mentioned, it is often as "EPFL" so that doesn't help us to decide. And the fact that the title was changed to the current version probably influenced some of the websites that are cited to say that we should not correct it now. As explained above, this is a French name and it should thus be written "École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne". The official EPFL website explains this ( uppercase / lowercase). However, if some think that a translation should be used, then choose "Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne" instead of incorrect writing. But if this is too much change, then "École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne" is perfect. 83.228.160.232 ( talk) 22:14, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:ETH Zurich which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 08:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
The category Category:École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne is (wrongly) being considered for renaming to Category:École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

I'm sorry, but every university has partner institutions that collaborate and have their students study abroad. I don't think an entire separate section is necessary to bullet all of the partner institutions. It's a bit redundant and excessive. Pastures of Andalusia ( talk) 21:29, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
The Organization section has hyperlinks to every department in the school. All of these should be removed. David notMD ( talk) 10:25, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
According to the EPFL website the official English naming is one of the following: [1] [2]
I suggest that the page name is adapted and the metioning of EPFL in the text is changed accordingly. Please advise on how to proceed. Thanks! Quaenuncabibis ( talk) 12:15, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Concerning the changes by User :Possibly, I agree with deleting the Anime/Manga club. Birthplace of Archimedian Oath has a high relevancy – I would only delete the content of the oath («I commit… ») which is for the specialised article. Buildings: I would keep it in the article. It’s an overview (also referring to some article images!) - details can be read in the specialised articles. -- Repinrepin ( talk) 09:05, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello, we partly rewrote and updated the article on the EPFL: User:Quaenuncabibis/EPFL 3.0. Would someone be willing to help transferring the new/updated material to the main article? Due to my COI I am hesitant to do it myself. Thanks everyone for your help! Kind regards, Quaenuncabibis ( talk) 07:31, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
