Would the unregistered editor who is persistently edit warring to remove the brief and well-sourced sentence mentioning the university's exemption from some parts of Title IX please explain why they are edit warring to remove this information? Thanks. ElKevbo (talk) 22:47, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello editors, I recently updated the Randall University article to improve accuracy, add independent citations, and rewrite sections in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. The previous tags noted reliance on a single source and a possible close connection. With the new references (including The Oklahoman, Niche, and Appily) and balanced language, I believe these concerns have been addressed.

Requesting review and possible removal of the maintenance templates if the article now meets sourcing and neutrality standards. Eagles717 (talk) 22:13, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Stop editing the article on behalf of your client. Please make specific requests and suggestions here in Talk. ElKevbo (talk) 23:18, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks to the editors who reviewed the recent updates. The article now reflects multiple independent sources and neutral tone, and the previous maintenance tags have been resolved. Please feel free to reach out if further improvements are suggested. Eagles717 (talk) 22:18, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

The entire editing history of the article is publicly viewable. No one is fooled by your promotional edits on behalf of your client and your smug self-congratulations. ElKevbo (talk) 23:16, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello editors,

Following Wikipedia’s paid-editing disclosure policy, I’m suggesting a full article update to improve accuracy, sourcing, and formatting for the Randall University page.

I’ve drafted the proposed version here: User:Eagles717/sandbox

This draft: • Expands the History section using sourced institutional data and independent coverage (The Oklahoman, Niche, Appily). • Updates Academics and Accreditation with verified citations from TRACS and Oklahoma education authorities. • Reorganizes the structure for clarity while maintaining a neutral, encyclopedic tone.

All content has been rewritten to comply with sourcing and neutrality standards, with inline citations included throughout.

User:ElKevbo

I appreciate that you’re enforcing policy, but the tone of your messages felt unnecessarily harsh. I’ve done my best to follow all Wikipedia guidelines for transparency and neutrality, and I’m here to collaborate in good faith. This is my first time editing an article, please show others grace.

Could you or another editor please review and apply those improvements as appropriate? I’m happy to adjust any language or sourcing details based on feedback.

Thanks everyone. Eagles717 (talk) 15:32, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

It would be very helpful if you could help us understand what you're asking us to change in the current article. These instructions may help you craft a clear, organized request that's accessible to other editors. ElKevbo (talk) 00:42, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

Got it — here’s a list of the specific changes I’m proposing:

• • Section:** Entire article rewrite
  • Request:** Replace the current article text with the updated, neutral, and fully cited version located here: User:Eagles717/sandbox
  • Summary of improvements:**

• Adds multiple independent citations (The Oklahoman, Niche, Appily, TRACS accreditation).

• Expands the History, Academics, and Athletics sections for completeness. The page is not robust.

• Rewrites existing text for neutral, encyclopedic tone.

• • Rationale:** The current version is missing sources and omits major institutional updates. The sandbox draft corrects this using verifiable references and improved structure.

Thank you for considering this request. I’m happy to adjust any language or sources as needed.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Following Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guidelines, I’m submitting this as a simple COI edit request.

• • 1. Requested change**

Please replace the current article text with the updated version available here: User:Eagles717/sandbox

• • 2. Rationale**

The current article relies heavily on limited sources and lacks recent information about accreditation, academic programs, and institutional history. The sandbox draft corrects this with verified citations and neutral language, in line with Wikipedia’s sourcing and style standards.

• • 3. Sources used**

- The Oklahoman

- Niche

- Appily

- TRACS Accreditation Page

- Randall University Catalog

Thanks.User:ElKevbo

Question: Text in this request appears to be AI generated, can you confirm or deny? --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 17:04, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

I used openai to help me craft this message as clear and concise as possible so that i do not screw it up. I have never requested an edit before. Please someone help me. Eagles717 (talk) 22:02, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, LLMs are generally not allowed on Wikipedia, we want to here from you, not an AI. --pro-anti-air ––>(talk)<–– 22:05, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay i just requested again. Eagles717 (talk) 22:10, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.

I wanted to follow up (again) with a clearer, simpler version of my COI edit request. I’m just trying to make sure the information on the Randall University page is accurate, properly sourced, and written in a neutral way.

• Requested change

Please change the current article text and replace it with the version I have crafted here: User:Eagles717/sandbox

• Why

The existing article is outdated and missing important, verifiable details about Randall University’s programs and accreditation. The version in my sandbox fixes that by: • Adding independent sources like The Oklahoman, Niche, Appily, and TRACS accreditation listings. • Expanding the history and academics sections for context. • Rewriting everything in an even, factual tone — no promotional language.

• Sources

I’m not a regular Wikipedia editor — just trying to get this right. Any help reviewing or formatting this properly would be HUGELY appreciated.
