Alumni
Other Famous Alumni include Brett Butler, the baseball player.

I reverted Thomas W deletion as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Lists_of_people — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.45.132.36 (talk) 16:27, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And I intend to revert your revert per this quote from the link you provided: "lists are not intended to contain everyone who attended the school — only those with verifiable notability" (my emphasis). And Wikipedia's criteria for notability can be found at WP:GNG. Which, translated into real life, means that only people with an article about them here on Wikipedia should be included in the list. So if you want Chuck Easttom included in the list you'll have to wait until there's an article about him here (which could be a long wait considering that an article by that name has been deleted a number of times, first through AfD and after that through speedy deletion).

Deleting the section "Community and Location"
Deleting the section Community and Location under grounds of containing "unreferenced", "weasel words", "peacock" words, and "travel guide" information. It is irrelevant to the article and the facts about the location have already been stated in the article. In-Correct (talk) 05:43, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Furthermore I am challenging section "Expansion". It needs to be completely rewritten or deleted. In-Correct (talk) 05:45, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Deleting Section "Expansion"
This section contains no information about expansion. It contains no sources. All the paragraph contains is advertising. In-Correct (talk) 22:56, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Article reclassification

Content about sidewalk cracks
I removed content about sidewalk cracks at this university (see here} because it was only supported by a deadlink bare reference from a local paper and from self-published sources. Sidewalk cracks, even those resulting in a lawsuit, are really not notable for an encyclopedia article. I would like to hear from other regarding this content. Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 03:52, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Please stop reducing it to sidewalk cracks! It is more than dangerous sidewalk cracks. It also has to do with faulty elevators and very steep ramps and etc. Most of the issues have since been repaired since 2006-2007 but I believe the ADA Compliance is notable. I am confused about your problem with the sources given. Is there one with a dead link? Can this source be replaced? I believe I have done this already. No matter how many sources are given, you are still going to remove it because you only recognize the issue of sidewalk cracks. I disagree. Any and all issues of ADA compliance and safety concerns must be included. Apologies from me if you are not a Sock Puppet, if that is the correct term, I originally thought you are associated with an entire section blanking from a PR employee at SOSU.

 * Wikipedia is an international encyclopaedia, not a local bulletin board, so I have removed the material again. Thomas.W talk 08:18, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is for everybody, not Southeastern Oklahoma State University. These accounts attempting to remove the information are Sock Puppets. The information will remain in the article. In Correct (talk) 12:27, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia isn't a local newsletter and doesn't report on things that are only of local interest, such as cracks in sidewalks. Thomas.W talk 15:26, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * ONCE AND FOR ALL THIS IS NOT ABOUT CRACKS IN SIDEWALKS. ENOUGH. In Correct (talk) 22:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * We also don't include old information about elevators and ramps. Nor is it obvious that the paragraph isn't about the sidewalks when the entire paragraph literally opens with the (poorly written) sentence "SE has had controversy regarding the condition of its sidewalks."
 * What is it about this information that makes it essential information to include in an encyclopedia article about the entire history, organization, resources, and contributions of this institution? ElKevbo (talk) 23:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I am not going to simply take your word for it only because three people don't know how to read. In Correct (talk) 13:00, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I Am Going To Look For Sources. If I Can't Find Any, I Will Delete The Information.
The article has a Refimprove Section but there aren't any "citation needed". Has the information been removed already? If it has, why is there a Refimprove? I don't know which information needs the additional citations without blanking the entire section. Please help add citation needed. In Correct (talk) 22:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Gender Discrimination and NAACP Protests
I moved the information about Dr. Tudor and the following civil suit to its own section, as well as the information about the 2013 NAACP protests to its own section. While they are both historical events that happened at/around the university, they stand about and should have their own section outside of the history section. Thanks!

 * I'm very puzzled why you've begun an edit war to move this material. These incidents are part of the institution's history, not separate from them, so I'm very puzzled as to why they merit their own dedicated sections.  It may also be helpful to review our advice for the layout of college and university articles. ElKevbo (talk) 16:49, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
