Latin name[edit]

"Universitas de Sotoniensis" cannot possibly be correct Latin! --5.80.188.19 (talk) 19:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously Universitas Sotoniensis seems more correct. But the trouble doesn't end there. If the Latin name of Southampton, at least as far as Latin wikipedia concerned, is Hantonia and not Sotonium or Sotonia or some variation thereof, surely the correct form would Hantoniensis and Hant./Hanton.. What actual justification is there for Sotoniensis? especially if Soton is really So'ton / just Southampton abbreviated. Soton. is used in post-nominals, which is fine, I suppose, if that is what the University wants to do.

In fact, the only Latin names for Southampton I have come across are the rather unsatisfactory Trisantonis Portus or Clausentum here. Demeticus (talk) 13:17, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Knowing no Latin, Universitas Hantoniensis sounds pretty cool to me. Though I suppose this would more directly translate to The University of Hampshire? As the name of Hampshire comes from Southampton, perhaps this would be appropriate. LordSeht (talk) 14:28, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article sheds some light on the issue, but the publication of the school has nothing to do with the University. I think Universitas Hantoniensis is probably the most appropriate, all things considered. LordSeht (talk) 15:19, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup of Research Institutes list[edit]

This seems a long way to present all of the research institutes and it probably isn't up to date. Can anyone suggest a better way to present this? Aloneinthewild (talk) 18:02, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms[edit]

This might just be me, but the rear left leg on the stag in the coat of arms looks a bit... mangled. Would anyone object if the leg were altered to look more like the original source image of the stag in this aspect. LordSeht (talk) 20:09, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the original shape of the stag from the attributed work to fix the leg. I also added back the stag's pupil. Additionally, I restored the original aspect ratio of the book from the attributed work. I also added Tudor roses either side of the book to match the shield in the University of Southampton's logo. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shield_of_the_University_of_Southampton.svg LordSeht (talk) 14:33, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
