Edit Request - RESUBMIT

@Spintendo: Please find below a resubmission of my proposed edits incorporating the information you requested. Note that I did not include any requests that were already implemented. I apologize that I was unable to replicate your reference table, I attempted to do so and it did not work properly for me.

I'm currently unable to access your website to check these references, as it's apparently undergoing maintenance. I'll check back in a little bit. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 23:44, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reply and list of changes made 16-JAN-2018

[edit]

checkY Article revised. The following changes have been made to the article:

  1. The section on campuses has been updated to indicate which are currently active. Future campus activity, including the cost of refurbishing current buildings, was omitted. (Please add "It also has training centres in Surrey, Maple Ridge and Burnaby." The training centres are where our adult basic education and non-credit training programs are held.)
  2. Information on the different "faculties" was removed, as the reference citation for this was to an archival site. Current information about the different departments should be used as references when discussing those departments. (This was not a section I requested edits to, however, it seems like beneficial information to include. Here is a current reference: https://www.douglascollege.ca/programs-courses/faculties)
  3. Likewise, information regarding scholarships used the reference of an archived page. Information about current scholarships should be cited using current websites.
  4. Information regarding Alumni, because it makes mention of living people, should come from independent sourcing, not from the University's own blog.
  5. The article requires additional sources from outside of the University (see WP:UNDERCITE and WP:GARDEN). Until then, the refimprove template has been added to the article. Please note that sources can include local area or national media. Sources from the Government of Canada, including sourcing from other educational facilities which mention this University, may also be used. (Sources for which sections/information?)
  6. The infobox for universities assigns staff as either academic or administrative. Currently, only the figure for academic staff is shown. Please provide a number for administrative staff at your earliest convenience. (As mentioned above, there are 900 faculty (academic staff) and 900 administrative staff. https://www.douglascollege.ca/about-douglas)
  7. If any information in the article is incorrect, please advise here on the talk page as soon as possible, so that the information may be corrected. (Information regarding non-bachelor programs not included. Information about all educational programs offered at the college seems like useful information. Please consider adding: "Douglas' undergraduate credentials include certificates, diplomas, associate of arts degrees, and associate of science degrees.[4] Additionally, Douglas offers post-bachelor diplomas [5] – post-degree (1 year), post-baccalaureate (2 years), and graduate (1 or 2 years) – and non-credit programs including continuing education [6], adult special education, adult basic education, and career and employment training [7].")

Notes

  1. ^ The edit request as received was not properly formatted. When preparing an edit request, text must be created on the talk page which contains a new header, a COI request edit template, followed by the text of the proposals and any related information/references. Requests made in this manner are done from within their own editspace. For clarity, new text which is created on the talk page should not be interspersed amongst already-present text previously submitted by other editors. If the text being submitted makes reference to previously submitted text, for example, this edit request response, then previously submitted texts may be interspersed amongst newer text via the use of quoteboxes, which quotes any previously submitted material from without its editspace, placing it within a secondary editspace. This quoted material becomes part and parcel of the subsequent editor's editspace and thus may be augmented / enhanced / clarified / or questioned at will — in order to illustrate discussion points or particularities — without disturbing the "sanctity" of the previous editor's editspace. The edit request just submitted has mixed older text with a newer request all from within the editspace of the previous editor (a mistake that I myself have made in my own review postings, made here and elsewhere.) Accordingly, the edit request cannot be acted upon until and unless it is submitted on its own accord, with or without any quoted materials if desired.
  2. ^ Your request was not specific enough. COI edit requests must include complete and specific descriptions of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "Please change X to Y".
  3. ^ Since they contain no reference notation numbers of any kind, areas of text in an article which are unreferenced and in need of sourced citations are self-evidentiary.
