::Well, fair enough, and I don't know anything about this image (except that the university apparently has copyrighted it), or this university, or the legal status of universities in Belgium -- but in the world at large one of the things universities do, and have the legal standing to do, is to dish out degrees. In most countries the university's seal, in some form, has to appear on its diplomas and certificates -- and quite often the name on the seal will be in Latin; quite often the text of the diploma will be in Latin. In difficult cases we sometimes trace the official Latin names of academic institutions by finding images of old diplomas for sale on Ebay.

:::Good point. I just checked a diploma from a public Belgian university, and there was indeed something that looks like a seal from the university, but then it only became valid with another seal, from a ministry. The same would go for the ULB. [[Usor:Sigur|Sigur]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Sigur|disputatio]]) 17:00, 16 Maii 2019 (UTC)

Sigur, thanks for starting on those 10,000 pages! I've been doing as many as I could,* but several thousand more are waiting for someone to love them, so please keep at it! I'd have done more, but I hate to post 300-character hiccups, and writing longer articles takes time. We get two points for the merest of stubs, one point for text greater than 8,000 characters, and one more point for text greater than 16,000. So look [https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usor:Amahoney/Myrias_epitome here] for inflection points where in some cases only one short sentence or the addition of an illustration can get us one more point. For example, until April (when I took action), [[Regnum Novum Aegypti]] was only 86 characters short. Anne Mahoney hasn't updated her summaries in a while, so you may need to check page histories to see whether I've already boosted a page on the cusp. Of course with new articles, everything is gravy, so to speak. Btw, if you don't know, the monthly comparisons of the wikis at Meta are [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias_by_expanded_sample_of_articles here.] [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:IacobusAmor|disputatio]]) 20:20, 28 Iunii 2019 (UTC)
:*In my ongoing list of contributions (https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usor:IacobusAmor/Addita_anno_2019 and scroll down to the alphabetical section), they're marked "‰." [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:IacobusAmor|disputatio]]) 20:20, 28 Iunii 2019 (UTC)
