I've seen other colleges with userboxes for graduates or current students. Could someone make a ULL one?-- Viridis talk| contributions 21:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm planning on taking some photos of the campus sometime this weekend and next week, to replace some of the photos that were previously in the article. I already have a few places I'll going to take pictures of, but I anyone has some specific requests, I'll try to take those as well. -- Matteh ( talk) 23:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Any objection to the fact that I replaced the alligator picture on the page with a picture of Cypress lake ('The Swamp') from the UL Lafayette site? I also added the picture to the Cypress Lake page.-- Viridis talk| contributions 01:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
The image was deleted. Can anyone tell me why?-- Viridis talk| contributions 21:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Is it possible for someone to have the information of the endowment that UL recieves, it is a research university so it must have one. Tufts ( talk) 16:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Please provide a better source for the 1984 name change, if anyone can locate one. Thanks. Aaron charles ( talk) 16:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I've found that virtually every university has its university seal shown in the information box. So, could someone upload the seal of UL Lafayette? -- Rzhang313 ( talk) 11:21, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I see Matteh already edited this out, according to the University Public Relations ULL is NOT a proper use of the UL Lafayette name. Demos Demon 01:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC) The proper name for this school is The University of Louisiana. Similar to the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette does not accompany the city with the university name. Please stop editing these changes. Refer to Louisiana Legislation reguarding this issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjm8461 ( talk • contribs) 18:33, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette the flagship university for the University of Louisiana system? It is the largest.-- Ðrdak ( T) 18:43, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
It is the flagship university in the University of Louisiana system. It is also the largest university within that system. The link in the previous response was fake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjm8461 ( talk • contribs) 18:46, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
1. The official name for athletics is the "Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns." In fact, this verbiage is contained in the school's logo, which is featured on the school's Wikipedia page.
http://www.louisiana.edu/about-us/media/proper-use-universitys-name
/info/en/?search=File:UL_Lafayette_Ragin%27_Cajuns_Logo.png
2. This is in keeping with all laws and regulations as implemented by the State of Louisiana in regards to this issue. In summary: state law requires that whenever "University of Louisiana" is used, it must also contain a city designation. There is absolutely nothing prohibiting the use of "Louisiana" singularly.
3. "Louisiana" has been used on all of the school's athletic venues (football, baseball, basketball, etc.) for at least ten years. It is all on all uniforms, programs, etc.

You have to ask yourself, is this is 'illegal' or otherwise prohibited, why hasn't anything been done to have the university stop these practices? Over the last 10-15 years?
Given all of the above facts, why are some Wikipedia editors allowed to over-ride this issue?

Now somebody wants to change the bullet points on the History section into texts. Why? The purpose of writing is to impart information and the bullet points here do the job very well.
When I worked at a famous national magazine, the editors always tried to find ways to use bullet points instead of dry text paragraphs. Bullets are not only easier to read, they are more likely to be read. The reader sees a short item and reads it. Naturally she goes on to read another one. When the reader sees a fat slab paragraph of grey text, she is less likely to read even one sentence of it.
So let's keep the bullet points as is.

There is a discussion in which you might be interested, regarding the university and athletics names used within the University of Louisiana System, at Talk:University of Louisiana System#University and athletic names. Cheers, UW Dawgs ( talk) 15:30, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
@ Jhh76: There are disagreement about whether UL can be included in the lead, like:
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette, ULL, or UL) is a coeducational, public, research university in Lafayette, in the U.S. state of Louisiana.
We discussed WP:COMMONNAME ad nauseum at Talk:Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns.
However, we use informal names extensively in the leads of university articles in this manner shown above. And "UL" is used, extensively, to informally refer to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, regardless of any assertions of an "illegal abbreviation," "UL abbreviation isn't accepted," or any wishes of the University:
So what is the nature of the objection? UW Dawgs ( talk) 01:26, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
This is getting ridiculous and is way out of hand. Google news shows more for UL articles for Lafayette, not any other school. If we don't include it, someone will be pissed off that is isn't included, if we do include it, someone will be pissed off that it isn't included. So, why not just remove all nicknames/abbreviations from this article? This way, nobody is edit-warring over a silly thing like this. Corkythe hornetfan (ping me) 13:17, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
@ Cdman882, ElKevbo, and Frank042316:

6. If media outlets are using “University of Louisiana” or “UL” to refer to UL Lafayetteit probably belongs in the first sentence per MOS:BOLDSYN and already seen at University of Louisiana. UW Dawgs ( talk) 22:35, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Frank042316 I don’t think anything has really changed, this talk section was from back in 2018. In players info boxes (for the most part,) it appears to read “Louisiana” as it should.

I don’t understand why there is such a big push back from the editors on this site to change the name to what the university wants to be called especially when the said university has a specific page for it. Cjm8461 ( talk) 12:48, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
“Let it go”? No. You and your guy Elkevbo want to dictate the names on a page, yet you don’t provide any sources to validate your reason for the decision. Cjm8461 ( talk) 14:04, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
