The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In 1949, the university was named after him and his younger brother, Alexander von Humboldt, a naturalist.
- He was a linguist who made contributions to the philosophy of language, ethnolinguistics, and to the theory and practice of education.
- He made a major contribution to the development of liberalism by envisioning education as a means of realizing individual possibility rather than a way of drilling traditional ideas into youth to suit them for an already established occupation or social role.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Wilhelm von Humboldt article was read about 57,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 64: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
