== Ways to pronounce the acronym ==
=== (Pronouncing IUPUI) ===
Is there a funny way to say the acronym?--] 23:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the acronym '''(IUPUI)''' is pronounced '''by many Indy locals''' as 'EwwiePewie'.<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 21:20 '''& :35''', 30 May 2006</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

*I've always heard it referred to as "eww-ee-poo-ee", never heard anyone actually spell out the acronym, and I've only heard the proper name once, in explaining what that funny word referred to. I'd have thought that the pronunciation was common enough to warrant inclusion in the article. --] 19:05, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
**&nbsp;&nbsp; It is incredibly sloppy to rely on such spellings to communicate a pronunciation. I've had few occasions to hear it pronounced, but as a member of the obsessive-compulsive-American community , i'm inclined to trust my own recollection of it as 4 syllables, ]-ee-PYEW-ee. ...Tho i draw your attention to the (BTW not-necessarily-relevant) fact that YEW-ee-POO-ee would be more suitable ''in terms of phonetic pronunciation'', since it ''doesn't'' stand for an acronym (for some other name) initial-ized as IUP'''I'''UI).<br>--]•] 21:24, 14 June 2016 (UTC)<br>

=== Phonetics ===

*"IUPUI is the urban research university campus of Indiana University located in Indianapolis, Indiana." I don't understand exactly what this sentence means.

Would "IUPUI is the research campus of Indiana University located in Indianapolis, Indiana" be accurate? ] 20:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
** No, the second sentence would not be accurate given that Indiana University (Bloomington) is also a research university. You cannot simply say "IUPUI is the research campus of Indiana University".

Now that it's 2024, we ought to discuss how we are going to structure the Misplaced Pages articles on the two schools. As I see it, there are two possibilities:


# Create two new articles, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University Indianapolis. Each of these would contain history of IUPUI that is relevant to the particular university, and the current article would contain only the history and other information pertinent to IUPUI pre-split.
] → {{no redirect|Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis}} – explicitly says en dashes should not have spaces on either side. ] also only prescribes spaces "when used as sentence punctuation", of which this is not a case. ] would also apply stating "Generally, use a hyphen in compounded proper names of single entities.", but would be contrary to official use. ] (]) 17:31, 5 October 2020 (UTC) <small>—'''''Relisting.'''''&nbsp;] (]) 21:29, 13 October 2020 (UTC)</small>

What do you all think? Are there any possibilities that I overlooked? ] (]) 22:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
== "Ooey pooey" pronunciation in lede ==


:The first option seems to be a lot cleaner and easier. It also matches my own perspective about what is happening - what is/was IUPUI is being dissolved and its resources divided that the two parent universities are using to make new campuses/locations. It's even possible that one or both of these new "institutions" may not even merit its own article - I spoke with a Purdue faculty member about this yesterday and he indicated that this will be some kind of extension of the West Lafayette campus with little independence so it's possible that the Purdue portion of not-IUPUI may end up becoming a small section in ]. ] (]) 16:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
The lede currently includes a brief aside that the name of this institution is "colloquially known as <nowiki>'Ooey-Pooey'</nowiki>" which is supported by two references:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-03-17-0303170018-story.html |title=Ooey-pooey: Tourney team with image issue |last=Conklin |first=Mike |date=17 March 2003 |website=Chicago Tribune |publisher=Chicago Tribune |access-date=16 Jan 2022 |quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/19/sports/college-basketball-big-question-answered-just-what-is-iupui.html |title=COLLEGE BASKETBALL; Big Question Answered: Just What Is I.U.P.U.I.? |last=Picker |first=David |date=19 March 2003 |work=The New York Times |access-date=16 Jan 2022 |quote=}}</ref> These references are both over 19 years old and only mention this pronunciation in passing.

::Wouldn't this (the under-emphasized nature the Purdue Indy campus) tip toward the second option proposed by @]? I think that the main history of the campus will be the story of one that once included Purdue, but was always (mainly) an IU campus. It would seem to me that retaining but renaming the current entry while noting the departure of Purdue is closer to what is actually happening. But ... I may not have enough distance. I'll be working for IUI soon. If it helps, see a similar discussion for the disolution of IPFW -- ] (]) 01:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
:I can't support removing it outright when the sources are so strong (if a little old), but I agree that the inclusion in the lead sentence may out size the usage in real life in modern times. IUPUI has joked on about the name and insist it is "I-U-P-U-I", and I know most people in Indiana (where I live) pronounce it that way, but ooey-pooey is still in use and a quick Google search shows plenty of people continuing to use it, often as a bit of a joke. Perhaps we can remove the current "colloquially known as..." and add in a sentence after the first saying: "The name is officially pronounced as individual letters and sometimes colloquially called "ooey-pooey"."--] (]) 13:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
:::Satellite campuses often do have their own articles; see for example ] and ]. So a ] article is in order, especially since its history is much different than the main campus.
::Two 18-year old sources that barely mention this are far from "strong." ] (]) 23:55, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
:::The main advantage of having a separate IUPUI article is that it's a place to put the pre-split history that wouldn't really be appropriate in an ] article.

::::If there are not any sources that contradict those sources, then I do not see why they should be removed. Misplaced Pages routinely uses sources 19 years old or older, in fact Misplaced Pages routinely uses sources that can be several hundred years old. In particular, we are talking about two high-quality newspapers, one of which uses the moniker 'Ooey-Pooey' in the title of the article. I do not see any issue with the current lede. @ElKevbo Have you encountered any sources that claim that the 'Ooey-Pooey' pronunciation has since been discontinued? If not, we revert to the latest RS, in this case these two articles. ] (]) 02:11, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

::::::Including pronunciations is standard practice in the lead, so I concur with Cerebral and Eccekevin here. However, we could improve how it's done. I'd suggest as one possibility that avoids undue weight we add an explanatory footnote after the acronym that explains it's sometimes pronounced "ooey pooey" (with {{t|IPAc-en}} and perhaps even an audio file) and sometimes "I-U-P-U-I". <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>]</sup> 03:57, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

:I just came upon this discussion by chance, almost made an edit to the article before I realized this was contentious. I just wanted to weigh in with a couple of thoughts:
:* We should not use the term "phonetically" in the footnote text. There is no reasonable way this pronunciation could be considered phonetic, so that is confusing. The letters "iu" are not typically pronounced like the "oo" in "pool".
:* Based on all the sources, this statement doesn't seem to provide enough context. It should note that the term is used colloquially, as has already been stated in this discussion, and not by the school itself. This is different from other situations, such as "]," which is a self-applied moniker. The Chicago Tribune source states it is "annoying" to some at the school. It is also worth noting that all the sources provided are out-of-town publications.
:* Also, based on the sources, it is worth noting the term appears to be falling out of fashion. I don't think it is clear enough to just say it is "sometimes" pronounced this way. Aside from how many fewer recent sources there are, here is a school publication which speaks about the pronunciation as historical: "''''". ]·] 22:59, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

:::Yes, "historically" might be overdoing it, but that is why I think something like "falling out of fashion" (as in, in the process of), and that it is not favored by the school community itself, address the concerns. Your example is interesting, but the context of that piece is important, as my reading of the way it is being used is that the author is knowingly using the disfavored term as a teasing reference to the team. The whole article is about IUPUI's recent failures, and there is a bit of a mocking tone.

::::::I'm on board with switching "phonetically pronounced as" to "colloquially pronounced as", since it succinctly explains it's ambiguously unofficial and non-formal status, and if there is much more to say in terms of whether it's historic or not, perhaps it should be spelled out elsewhere in the article. --] (]) 12:23, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 6 August 2015 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

In looking through the list of alumni

I see Trischa Zorn, Law 2005, but on her page all it says about her university career is, "Zorn studied at the University of Nebraska, and, as of 2001, "teaches third and fourth graders with special needs in Indianapolis". Perhaps someone who actually knows (i.e., not me) can update her page. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

   This G-search for "Trischa Zorn, Law 2005" (where the quotes were included in the query) produces 5 hits:
  1. liquisearch names "Misplaced Pages Alumni (i.e. our article) as source
  2. Pr. G-berg credits "World Heritage Encyclopedia Edition" via a thumbnail and bottom of the page text
  3. World Heritage Encyclopedia includes boilerplate that includes WP among its sources
  4. Wikiwand duplicates the text of this talk page, including at least 1 contrib i added in the last few hours]
  5. "Wikipeetia, the misspelled encyclopedia" lives up to its slogan by misspelling about 90% of our text, including of course "teh".
   Someone (even more obsessive/compulsive than i) may want to do a WikiBlame search in pursuit of greater clarity about when it disappeared, or examine our colleague Carptrash's contribs against the possibility that they did something about it themself. When you know when it disappeared, Wikiblame will probably be less frustrating as a tool for determining when it first appeared, which may be helpful in understanding, or at least in further investigation for a source or explanation.

Articles after IUPUI splits

Now that it's 2024, we ought to discuss how we are going to structure the Misplaced Pages articles on the two schools. As I see it, there are two possibilities:

  1. Create two new articles, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University Indianapolis. Each of these would contain history of IUPUI that is relevant to the particular university, and the current article would contain only the history and other information pertinent to IUPUI pre-split.
  2. Create one new article for Purdue University Indianapolis, as above, and change the name of the current article to Indiana University Indianapolis.

What do you all think? Are there any possibilities that I overlooked? Indyguy (talk) 22:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

The first option seems to be a lot cleaner and easier. It also matches my own perspective about what is happening - what is/was IUPUI is being dissolved and its resources divided that the two parent universities are using to make new campuses/locations. It's even possible that one or both of these new "institutions" may not even merit its own article - I spoke with a Purdue faculty member about this yesterday and he indicated that this will be some kind of extension of the West Lafayette campus with little independence so it's possible that the Purdue portion of not-IUPUI may end up becoming a small section in Purdue University. ElKevbo (talk) 16:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Wouldn't this (the under-emphasized nature the Purdue Indy campus) tip toward the second option proposed by @Indyguy? I think that the main history of the campus will be the story of one that once included Purdue, but was always (mainly) an IU campus. It would seem to me that retaining but renaming the current entry while noting the departure of Purdue is closer to what is actually happening. But ... I may not have enough distance. I'll be working for IUI soon. If it helps, see a similar discussion for the disolution of IPFW -- Jaireeodell (talk) 01:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Satellite campuses often do have their own articles; see for example University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College and University of Cincinnati Clermont College. So a Purdue University in Indianapolis article is in order, especially since its history is much different than the main campus.
The main advantage of having a separate IUPUI article is that it's a place to put the pre-split history that wouldn't really be appropriate in an Indiana University Indianapolis article. There is a history section here and some opportunity to expand it. So I'd prefer the three-article plan. Antony–22 (⁄contribs) 01:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The IUPUI split is official on July 1, 2024

Hi all - I work for IU Communications and Marketing. The division of the two schools is complete as of today (July 1, 2024), and the new Indiana University Indianapolis website is now live, which may be helpful to your research. If you would like some general campus photos and the new logo, I am happy to get those to you.

If you have questions and want to speak with someone, let me know. Thanks! Ucmturn (talk) 18:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
