Do you have a date for the *official* legal renaming?Naraht (talk) 00:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow up, Naraht ... I've been distracted since last weekend, and I'm actually on vacation from now through Saturday.

I anticipate submitting the appropriate Move Page / Change Name forms for the two pages about Piedmont College/University next weekend. While there's a lot on our current website about the name change festivities, it's not evident that the official name-change day was actually yesterday, April 5. As part of our celebrations, we will inaugurate a new website either this coming Friday or shortly thereafter. So if changing article names at Wikipedia took place by the middle or the end of next week, that would be excellent.

Since I'm not allowed to Publish edits myself, or so I was given to understand, there are edits that will need to reviewed and posted very soon after the pages are renamed to reflect changed academic structure and to update a great deal that hasn't been updated in quite a while. If you could provide some guidance about that, I would be grateful.

I just noticed TSventon's earlier message and I agree that's the best approach to take. The pages shouldn't be renamed until after our website changes, which as I understand it will be this coming Friday or very shortly thereafter ... though in the building of websites from the ground up, which is what is happening, it is always possible that deadlines may be overrun!

 * I appreciate the message from, but given the article in Now Haversham (https://nowhabersham.com/piedmont-college-changes-its-name/). I'm changing it now. There is already a page for the unaccredited Piedmont University in California which I am moving (and possibly should move to have deleted).


 * Thank you, Naraht, for moving ahead with the changes. I was unaware of the Piedmont University in California that you refer to and will bring that to the attention of my administration. I'll be in touch after I return about further edits. Bglassga (talk) 10:54, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Articles moved, working on cleanup. The Talk:Piedmont College page didn't move correctly, still doing that. I've put in to have the Categories associated with the college to be name-changed Category:Piedmont College and Category:Piedmont College alumni. While it can be done manually, it is easier to put it in and have the bots move everything from one cat to the other. Feel free to suggest cleanup here until we get the talk page sorted out.

 * Bglassga, Naraht I suggest this conversation should be copied to the Piedmont talk page. I didn't get the notification earlier as my user name was mentioned on an unsigned post. Renaming categories should not be done manually and should take a couple of days one the website is updated. TSventon (talk) 12:48, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

 * please post here if you see that the website has been updated. There are also short French and Urdu versions of the article, linked at the bottom of the panel to the left of the en article. The French version should be easy to update and the Urdu version seems to be entirely created by bots, so one of the bot operators may be able to help. TSventon (talk) 15:22, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I notice that the website is now branded Piedmont University. I have updated the French article, Piedmont College (disambiguation) and various lists and templates. TSventon (talk) 14:43, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I also requested yesterday that Commons:Category:Piedmont College be renamed to Piedmont University, which apparently takes two weeks. TSventon (talk) 11:37, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
