Let's stop this incipient revert war
Some users are removing sourced content from this article, and others of us are persisting in putting that content back. It appears that we need to discuss the situation....
The edit summary for the latest removal of content says that the "Oregon State Office Of Degree Authorization refers to Madison University ONLY AS AN UN-ACCREDITED school", not as a diploma mill.
It is true that the List of Unaccredited Universities on the Oregon website does not identify Madison (nor any other school) as a diploma mill. However, that Oregon website list is not the only item that Oregon has ever disseminated on the subject of unaccredited schools and diploma mills, and the material removed from the article did not reference the Oregon website. Instead, the removed material referenced published articles (specifically, Bartlett, Thomas and Scott Smallwood, June 25, 2004, "Maxine Asher Has a Degree for You" http://chronicle.com/free/v50/i42/42a01201.htm The Chronicle of Higher Education and James Varney, "Mailbox U: After Louisiana cracked down on diploma mills several distance-learning institutions moved to Mississippi". Times-Picayune (New Orleans) August 1, 2004 Pg. 1) that stated that Oregon had identified this school as a diploma mill. Changing the wording of direct quotations from these sources, deleting the source citations, and/or replacing the URLs with links to the State of Mississippi is neither intellectually honest nor acceptable Wiki-practice.
I believe that these changes are vandalism and I will continue to revert them. If the supporters of Madison have reliably sourced information that points out problems with the information from the Chronicle of Higher Education and the New Orleans Times-Picayune, please provide it here so we can discuss it. --orlady 17:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC) Response to "orlady": Please use the wording precisely, otherwise, YOU are the problem.
