Opinions

ATSU-KCOM is located in the middle of nowhere Missouri. Life there is miserable, at best.

Perhaps there is a more constructive way to present this view. ATSU-KCOM is located in Kirksville, Missouri, a small rural town: a benefit or disadvantage depending on one's point of view. Stevecalloway (talk) 14:25, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

I suggest the material here be merged to A. T. Still University, the new name of this school. Verbal chat 16:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I didn't create the article so I didn't want to merge them without the authors permission.Dumaka (talk) 18:25, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You might have waited for some feedback. Now you'll have to go in and fix all the differences: for example, Missouri and Arizona have vastly different curriculum.Stevecalloway (talk) 23:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fix? I moved one paragraph, after cutting some unencyclopaedic material. That section still needs work, as does the other article. Moving what was salvagable from here then only fixing one article seems much easier to me. They are the same place - there shouldn't be two articles. Verbal chat 23:49, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the merge but merely mashing two different organizations together causes inaccuracies (e.g.; curriculum). With the merge, differences between the two campuses will need to be clarified. They are not the same place, and the Arizona campus is much more than a satellite. Given enough contribution, each school (medicine, dentistry, etc.) of each campus (Missouri, Arizona) will need a separate section. And if someone (hint, not me) were so inclined, they could easily fill an article with KCOM history alone. Stevecalloway (talk) 11:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
