Junior colleges vs. community colleges
Hi there. :) The standard definitions used by the American Association of Community Colleges, Phi Theta Kappa, and the American Association of University Professors draw this same distinction between community colleges (public) and junior colleges (private).  Although some community colleges do continue to have "Junior" in their name, especially in the American West, they are very much exceptions to the rule.  (See Levinson for an in-depth history of the terminology.)

I don't think that we need to have one page listing all institutions granting Associate's degrees – and keep in mind that, if we did, we would need to include a very large percentage of baccalaureate institutions as well. (And, of course, that a growing number of community colleges are now offering Bachelor's and even Master's degrees.) Beginning (talk) 21:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Michael U. Gisriel shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. —S MALL JIM   21:44, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Leevank,

You appear to be engaged in an edit war with User:Mdpoly5, as this is not contrructive would you please discuss the matter on the articles talk page to resolve the issue. Amortias (T)(C) 21:44, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Michael U. Gisriel article
I am perfectly satisfied with the reversion of the article to its previous version. Neither Mdpoly5 nor MDLobby51 have ever edited anything on Wikipedia other than this article, and their edits have consistently sought to portray the subject as an attorney (which he manifestly no longer is), and to remove all reference to his disbarment. Coincidentally or not, the subject of the article is a Maryland lobbyist who was born in 1951.

I apologize for engaging in an edit war, which I have never done before, but I think it is important that the well-documented information about the subject's disbarment should be included in the article, and that the subject not be referred to as an attorney.
