Hi Orlady, I have been observing the Oregon State Degree Authority website closely since 2004. From the beginning, the website referred to some school as degree mills, some as unaccredited schools and some others with different names and status. Madison university has never been referred to as degree mill by this website. Clearly, it is a mistake when you wrote that it is a degree mill. I just tried many times to be reasonable and honest to everyone. What is wrong with that? Do you need a confirmation letter from Oregon State to confirm that? I can get one and post it here or send (in pdf form) to your email address. Regards, Orgentleman —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.199.250.29 (talk • contribs)
 * As has been stated repeatedly in edit summaries at Madison University and in posts at Talk:Madison University, the information in Madison University that you and your alter egos object to comes from reliable sources that are clearly identified in the Wikipedia article, 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. Please review Wikipedia policy on verifiability and reliable sources. Even if you (an anonymous contributor) were to identify yourself, your personal testimony regarding (1) your recollection of Oregon's website and (2) your phone conversations with Oregon state officials would not change the fact that these reliable sources contained the information cited in the article.--orlady 20:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Additionally, although the ODA website is not the source of the historical statement in the article, on archive.org I find that from July 2004 until sometime around February 2005 ODA website, as archived stated the following regarding Madison University: "Appears to be a diploma mill. ODA has no evidence that this is a legitimate provider of postsecondary education meeting Oregon standards." That language first appeared on the website in July 2004 and remained until approximately February 2005, when it was revised to "ODA has no evidence that this is a legitimate provider of postsecondary education meeting Oregon standards." --orlady 20:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Leaving comments
Hiya - just a quick reminder to be careful to ensure that you leave comments for users on their talk pages, not on their user pages - I've just moved the message you left for User:Orlady‎ over from her userpage to User_talk:Orlady. Also, be sure to sign your comments so that everyone knows who said what - I'll leave the standard reminder below. Any questions, feel free to leave a message for me on my talk page.

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!
