This article is intended to supply guidelines for what are here termed Academic Communities (mostly notable university colleges, see the linked page for a fuller explanation). As a consequence of national differences of nomenclature and educational philosophy, appropriate terminology in the United States may differ significantly for that which is appropriate for articles relating to Commonwealth institutions, particularly those of the United Kingdom. However, these guidelines are intended to be universal and corrections should tend to inclusive language, easing reading and understanding. In particular, the unqualified term 'college' should generally be avoided, having substantially different, mutually exclusive connotations around the world.
