Updated (moved page) according to latest name. Removed mistranslation from Romanian: 'cinematography' in English = camera, meant is actually: all motion-picture arts (directing, camera, script, editing,...). The English naming standard for institutions named after somebody is: surname (no first names or initials), type of institution, comma, location (see List of universities in the United Kingdom and Lists of American universities and colleges). No quotation marks or brackets. In Romania, in academic contexts, British English still is preferred over American English.
One could argue in favour of a literal translation of the Romanian name, which would probably be "Institute for Dramatic/Theatre and Motion-Picture Arts, Bucharest" for IATC and accordingly for later names, but that sounds pretentious in English and ads nothing but an old-fashioned, provincial appearance. Besides, the page name until today already used the "Theatre and..." option. Arminden (talk) 19:55, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Turgidson: Sure, good idea, go ahead with it! I'm happy also about all your other edits, except that I do prefer empty lines in the infobox not to have all those useless intervals, but... de gustibus. Do you know what they mean with "This list includes alumni from both the Film and the Acting schools"? That's how the school is divided? Elsewhere it's by theatre vs. film & TV, further they can separate between fiction and documentary, then along the production - directing - screenplay - cinematography - sound - editing lines and so forth. The structure of the IATC/UNATC needs to be explained, there isn't a word about it here. I see now that the Romanian page has it in full detail for the current structure; it probably follows the old IATC system. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 21:30, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Arminden: I'll see what I can do, it may take a while; there are also many alumni/faculty pages where the name of UNATC will need to be changed to the current one. I don't know the subtleties of how the place is organized and run, maybe someone else would like to have a go at it? Finally, I do like a uniform format for all the infoboxes, as provided in the templates; this includes a uniform column spacing, which btw makes reading the info in there more easy to read, at least when editing raw text like I always do.
