Regards, Spintendo  10:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC) Thank you so much for talking the time to check these requests. It was the intent to reflect the current information of the organisation.

 * The list of schools has been changed to a list of faculties.

Regards, Spintendo  11:50, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) An External links section was added.
 * 2) The information regarding the university's transfer and exchange partners, which heretofore had been placed as a columned list, is available for readers to peruse at the university's website. Thus, the URL for that information was placed in the External links section and the columned list has been omitted.

 * Hello Webcud, and thank you for your suggestions. I am declining your edit request because the wording you proposed is too promotional and does not adhere to Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising, marketing or public relations, but the purpose of your proposed text is clearly to win over prospective students and donors. As such, it cannot be added to the article unless it is substantially rewritten. The most obvious red flags are phrases that are frequently used in press releases, but are not appropriate for an encyclopedia. These promotional terms include phrases such as "world-class," "meaningful and lasting contribution," and "pioneering initiative." In other words, Wikipedia articles should not be worded like a brochure, and there is no need for a Wikipedia article to echo an organization's own description of itself. If there are other issues with the article, please feel free to file another edit request. Best, Altamel (talk) 14:45, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * If there is an independent source—not CUD's own website—that says that it's the first licensed Canadian university outside of Canada, then that would be relevant to mention in the article by adding one sentence: "It is the first licensed Canadian university outside of Canada." —C.Fred (talk) 17:11, 18 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi C.Fred / Altamel,

 * Your edit would delete the phrase "private university" and replace it with the phrase "academic institution for higher learning". What has changed to make this school no longer private (government support?), and why is it no longer a university? —C.Fred (talk) 17:41, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
