What references or reference style is appropriate to "untag" this article? I had the following references for verification and notability on the article entry for "Ohio Institute of Technology" that were removed:

1. Ohio Secretary of State Tradename Registration for 11/01/2002 (PDF File Image of Document)

2. An offer to provide Academic Institutional References to applicable parties upon request. (should I upload business letters as references?)

3. A link to the US Copyright Site to view the 50 page Accredited University catalog as a "published source".

The catalog is co branded and published in conjunction with Youngstown State University. Should I just do an APA style reference to the catalog as a third party publication source through Youngstown State University?

I would appreciate someone reading the entire article and providing feedback as to what references are necessary and appropriate and in what form. This would be helpful prior to removal of the references and tagging the article. Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks for your help.

 * Ok ref 1 was a link to an image and not a reference for the Insitute at all (that was in the edit summary too)

Ref 2 was an "offer" to provide references. That wasn't a reference either so I removed that. Ref 3 was a link to the US Copyright site. You need direct links to articles that mention the Ohio Institute. I have searched for references that would be suitable for this article but so far have been unsuccessful. I will continue to look into the matter and discuss this problem with someone else. Sting au  Buzz Me...   00:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * See Reliable sources. You could look for books, newspaper articles and other publications that mention the Ohio Institute of Technology -- that's the kind of thing Wikipedia articles are looking for.  You might try searching for "Ohio Institute of Technology" (in quotation marks) at news.google.com, scholar.google.com and books.google.com to see if you can find any respectable publications that give any significant information about it. The sources don't have to be online, but they have to be published. --Coppertwig (talk) 00:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I couldn't come up with anything so can only suggest he reads WP:CITE, WP:RS and WP:V for more information. I have also removed the "helpme" tag from the page as you now need to read up on the guidelines. I moved the welcome message back to the top. It has some useful links for you to make use of. Also put a "talkheader" template on this page. When you post messages on talk pages always put them on the bottom and don't forget to sign them with four tildes. Cheers, Sting au  Buzz Me...   01:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Tag removed as required work done. I knew you could do it :-) Sting au  Buzz Me...   00:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:OfficialSeal-OhioInstituteofTechnology.jpg
You state that you are the creator of this seal, (Image:OfficialSeal-OhioInstituteofTechnology.jpg) but also state that it is the official seal of the institute. As an official seal, it really should be licensed as a non-free image. I am going to go ahead and change the licensing and add the necessary fair use rationale.
