[edit] Fight song?

I think we need to be less concerned with things like that, and more concerned with expanding actual information on the school.

We should use the above outline of OU's page as a guideline for UCO's.

[edit] Possible Copyright infringement

Much of this page appears to be taken verbatum from http://www.ucok.edu/about_uco.htm - like the entire History section. Also, the sports section reads a bit like a PR release. steventity 04:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Since no one appears to be around to discuss this with, I reverted to eliminate the material taken from the above source. If this was an error and the material was not violating copyright, please revert and add a note here explaining. Thank you. steventity 19:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] factual error

UCO, is not the oldest higher education institution in oklahoma, it was founded at the same time as both the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. All of the schools are still not as old as Northeastern State University which was founded almost forty years earlier as the Cherokee National Female Seminary, or Bacone College which was founded in 1880. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.177.102.146 (talk) 09:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC).

thanks for pointing that out. I changed it to "one of" the oldest. How does that sound? -steventity 15:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ucentralok.png

Image:Ucentralok.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Notable Alumni

A "Mark A. Barton" was added as a notable alumni, their is no deeper information on wikipedia on him, also I looked for information on him on the internet and did not find anything that would make him more notable than other solders. If someone knows what he is notable for please mention here. If reason can be found his name should be removed. 68.94.146.248 04:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
