@ Rytyho usa:Hello - I'm very appreciative of your help. I read through the guidelines on uploading logos, and I went ahead and uploaded myself since their account is not confirmed. I believe I followed the guidelines for uploading non-free, fair use content, and it can be found here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Logo_Kansas_City_University%2C_a_medical_school_in_Kansas_City%2C_Missouri.png
They have press information on their website including approved stock photos for editorial content, which includes photos of campus buildings. Would uploading them as fair use, non-free content obtained from their media library to the wikipedia commons be the appropriate way to upload those photos? https://www.kansascity.edu/about-kcu/brand/editorial-assets
As you suggested, I'm going to read through my other edit requests, I think some of them may already have been changed, then I will create a new thread.
Please let me know if I'm doing anything incorrectly. Thanks! EJParnell ( talk) 18:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
NOTE: Some of these changes have been made, so I'm creating a new section with requests below. Please disregard this section. EJParnell ( talk) 22:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
NEW EDITS: First two paragraphs - suggested updates to reflect current status of campus updates:
Kansas City University (KCU) is a private medical school with its main campus in Kansas City, Missouri. Founded in 1916, KCU is one of the first osteopathic medical schools in the United States. It consists of a College of Osteopathic Medicine and a College of Biosciences, with plans to open a College of Dental Medicine in Fall 2022[EC1]. KCU is one of the largest medical schools in the nation by enrollment.
KCU has two campuses, including the main campus in Kansas City, MO, and the Farber-McIntire Campus in Joplin, MO, which opened in 2017.

HISTORY SECTION
I propose removing the entire 5th paragraph about Karen Pletz, and creating a stand-alone for Ms. Pletz.
6th paragraph (2014):
The CMEI building is now open, and the article should be changed to reflect that. Suggestions: Please change "which has since then included" to "which has since then resulted in" "facility will house..." to "facility houses.." Change "mimicing" to "which simulates" Last sentence: The CMEI opened its doors in 2020.
Do we need a source for the building opening? There was no official ribbon cutting or anything, I think due to the campus being closed for COVID. But the building is, indeed open.
2016 paragraph: Change 3rd sentence to "The university is currently expanding the Joplin Campus to also house a College of Dental Medicine which is scheduled to welcome its first class in 2022.
Source: https://www.kansascity.edu/blog/medical-education/kcu-college-of-dental-medicine-30m-fundraising
NEW SUBHEADING (COLLAPSIBLE:)
Former University Names (collapsible)
Over its history, the university has operated under several different names, changing over time to reflect its offerings and focus:
1916-1970 – Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery 1970-1980 – Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine 1980-2004 – University of Health Sciences 2004-2016 – Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences (KCUMB) 2015- Current – Kansas City University (KCU)
ACADEMICS
Add "and will soon offer dentistry as well." to the end of the first sentence.
KCU AFFILIATED HOSPITALS BOX This section is very outdated, and the information changes ALL the time and it will be very difficult to keep it updated. I suggest removing the entire box. A simplified summary is included in one of the paragraphs below. Here is the current list of teaching hospitals, for reference: Source: https://www.kansascity.edu/programs/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/clerkships"
Move the entire paragraph starting with "The College of Osteopathic Medicine is one of three..." to the last paragraph of the entire section. (i.e., after, "...be accepted by their junior year."
The next 2 paragraphs are very specific and outdated. I propose deleting both paragraphs "The curriculum at KCU's College of Osteopathic Medicine..." through "...financially underserved populations in Kansas City, MO."
With this simplified explanation: "The curriculum at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences’ College of Osteopathic Medicine consists of four years of structured training leading to the doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) degree. Active learning is incorporated, including early clinical exposure through Score 1 for Health, standardized patient encounters and human patient simulation. Third and fourth year students finish their training through clerkships at preceptor hospitals located across the United States.
KCU students complete their education in years three and four through clerkships at hospitals located throughout the United States[EC1] . [EC1]Source: https://www.kansascity.edu/programs/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/clerkships
New subheading in Academics: Dual Degree Programs Add subtitle "Dual Degree Programs" to the paragagraph about dual degree programs. Change "offers two dual degree programs" section to "offers dual degree programs, including a DO/Masters in Bioethics, as well as a DO/MBA in Health Care Leadership which is offered through a partnership..."
College of Bioethics
Suggested: expand this paragraph to be more evergreen and provide a little more detail. Suggested text: The College of Biosciences was established in 2005 and offers a Master of Science of Biomedical Sciences which prepares students to pursue doctoral programs in healthcare fields, and covers anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology and epidemiology, cell biology, embryology, genetics, histology, physiology and molecular biology. A two-year research track prepares students for careers such as research scientists.
Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program Add "PsyD" to include the degree earned through the program. After "American Psychologocal Association" add new sentence: The program integrates empirical evidence and practice through coursework and clinical training.
Change "will offer" to "offers."
Suggested to remove last sentence "This program will work..."
College of Dental Medicine The KCU College of Dental Medicine is projected to open in 2022 at the Farber-McIntire Campus in Joplin, Missouri.
Campus (make plural: Campuses) Subheading: KCU-Kansas City Campus Change campus size to 33. Source: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1750+Independence+Ave,+Kansas+City,+MO+64106/@39.1072318,-94.5628768,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x87c0fa7fd8e35d43:0x903d8b3f7acebe7d!8m2!3d39.1072277!4d-94.5606881
Note: I'm not really sure how to indicate a source for that. The university campus has increased in size due to purchasing dilapidated structures nearby and turning them into green space. However, the total acreage is not documented, but it can be confirmed with Google Maps.
The Administrative Building" should be "The Administration building." The Annex does not have 2200 lecture seats. That should be removed. Need to add the Academic Center after the Annex Building: "The Academic Center houses two lecture halls with a combined seating capacity of more than 600."
Dybedal is no longer used for clinical research. Need to delete the sentence beginning with "Opened in 2004...":
Strickland no longer has "a classroom for biomedical sciences students." It now also has faculty offices and conference rooms.
Student Activities Center no longer has "Common Grounds Cafe."
Add subtitle before "In June 2018" Center for Medical Education Innovation (CMEI) Add this as a second sentence in the paragraph: "The building opened in Fall 2020, providing medical students simulated clinical experiences using virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. CMEI also houses ICU simulation sites, medical robots, 22 standardized patient rooms, and a 70-bay lab for physical diagnosis, and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM).
New subtitle: Joplin Farber-McINtire Campus or KCU-Joplin Should be 51 acres EJParnell ( talk) 21:40, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello all, an updated logo has been uploaded to the Wikipedia commons and needs to be replaced above the info box. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Logo_Kansas_City_University%2C_a_medical_school_in_Kansas_City%2C_Missouri.png The upload expires 2/15, I will re-upload if needed. It is 235x75 px
Also, the KCUMB.edu has permanently changed to kansascity.edu, and the redirect will expire in June 2021. Links in the references will break if not updated to kansascity.edu. EJParnell ( talk) 23:38, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Moved as proposed; however, I am exercising editor's discretion to move the defunct institution to Kansas City University (1896–1933), as a more precise option. BD2412 T 05:43, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
– The subject of this article has changed its name from "Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences" to "Kansas City University." However, the article name "Kansas City University" is used to describe a defunct university, which has been out of operation since 1933, which has about 1/10th the article traffic compared with the active university. I recommend changing the active university's article name to "Kansas City University" and the defunct university's article to "Kansas City University (defunct)" or "Kansas City University (Methodist)" ( WP:QUALIFIER). Rytyho usa ( talk) 02:42, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I have made some easy to document, small changes, but you may want to review these additional requests. (NOTE: I removed a few requests that had already been addressed.)
INFO BOX Add Robert White, PhD as dean of Biosciences. Source: Source: https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/print-edition/2014/10/24/newsmaker-kcumb-s-white-answers-when-opportunity.html
HISTORY SECTION
Remove 4th paragraph beginning with “In 2009…” (excessive detail, not consistent with general history.)
5th paragraph (2014): change last sentence to: “The CMEI building opened in 2020.” Sources:

NEW SECTION:
Score 1 for Health
Add 2 more sub-heads under “Outreach”: Medical Missions KCU faculty and students participate in international mission trips to countries including Guatemala, Kenya and the Dominican Republic. Many of these trips are conducted in conjunction with DOCARE International, an osteopathic medical outreach organization dedicated to providing much-needed health care to indigent and isolated people in remote areas around the world. Medical missions provide students practical, hands-on experience in rural settings.

Student Clubs and Organizations Many clubs and Organizations are available to KCU students to encourage networking and interest-based experiences. All student clubs must complete at least one community service project each year. (Note: This was under "Students" and the info there was very old. This is the current list, but I suggest not listing them out. http://www.kcumb.edu/student-experience/get-involved/student-clubs) EJParnell ( talk) 23:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
/info/en/?search=User:ElKevbo I've requested input on Karen Pletz several times, but have not had any sort of response. My hope was simply to provide consistent information, listing all presidents and their contributions/associated news strikes me as inconsistent with other higher ed pages.
Here are my thoughts:
I'd appreciate any thoughts or guidance on this. Thank you! EJParnell ( talk) 17:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

@ Rytyho usa:Hello - I'm very appreciative of your help. I read through the guidelines on uploading logos, and I went ahead and uploaded myself since their account is not confirmed. I believe I followed the guidelines for uploading non-free, fair use content, and it can be found here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Logo_Kansas_City_University%2C_a_medical_school_in_Kansas_City%2C_Missouri.png
They have press information on their website including approved stock photos for editorial content, which includes photos of campus buildings. Would uploading them as fair use, non-free content obtained from their media library to the wikipedia commons be the appropriate way to upload those photos? https://www.kansascity.edu/about-kcu/brand/editorial-assets
As you suggested, I'm going to read through my other edit requests, I think some of them may already have been changed, then I will create a new thread.
Please let me know if I'm doing anything incorrectly. Thanks! EJParnell ( talk) 18:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
NOTE: Some of these changes have been made, so I'm creating a new section with requests below. Please disregard this section. EJParnell ( talk) 22:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
NEW EDITS: First two paragraphs - suggested updates to reflect current status of campus updates:
Kansas City University (KCU) is a private medical school with its main campus in Kansas City, Missouri. Founded in 1916, KCU is one of the first osteopathic medical schools in the United States. It consists of a College of Osteopathic Medicine and a College of Biosciences, with plans to open a College of Dental Medicine in Fall 2022[EC1]. KCU is one of the largest medical schools in the nation by enrollment.
KCU has two campuses, including the main campus in Kansas City, MO, and the Farber-McIntire Campus in Joplin, MO, which opened in 2017.

HISTORY SECTION
I propose removing the entire 5th paragraph about Karen Pletz, and creating a stand-alone for Ms. Pletz.
6th paragraph (2014):
The CMEI building is now open, and the article should be changed to reflect that. Suggestions: Please change "which has since then included" to "which has since then resulted in" "facility will house..." to "facility houses.." Change "mimicing" to "which simulates" Last sentence: The CMEI opened its doors in 2020.
Do we need a source for the building opening? There was no official ribbon cutting or anything, I think due to the campus being closed for COVID. But the building is, indeed open.
2016 paragraph: Change 3rd sentence to "The university is currently expanding the Joplin Campus to also house a College of Dental Medicine which is scheduled to welcome its first class in 2022.

NEW SUBHEADING (COLLAPSIBLE:)
Former University Names (collapsible)
Over its history, the university has operated under several different names, changing over time to reflect its offerings and focus:
1916-1970 – Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery 1970-1980 – Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine 1980-2004 – University of Health Sciences 2004-2016 – Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences (KCUMB) 2015- Current – Kansas City University (KCU)
ACADEMICS
Add "and will soon offer dentistry as well." to the end of the first sentence.
KCU AFFILIATED HOSPITALS BOX This section is very outdated, and the information changes ALL the time and it will be very difficult to keep it updated. I suggest removing the entire box. A simplified summary is included in one of the paragraphs below. Here is the current list of teaching hospitals, for reference: Source: https://www.kansascity.edu/programs/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/clerkships"
Move the entire paragraph starting with "The College of Osteopathic Medicine is one of three..." to the last paragraph of the entire section. (i.e., after, "...be accepted by their junior year."
The next 2 paragraphs are very specific and outdated. I propose deleting both paragraphs "The curriculum at KCU's College of Osteopathic Medicine..." through "...financially underserved populations in Kansas City, MO."
With this simplified explanation: "The curriculum at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences’ College of Osteopathic Medicine consists of four years of structured training leading to the doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) degree. Active learning is incorporated, including early clinical exposure through Score 1 for Health, standardized patient encounters and human patient simulation. Third and fourth year students finish their training through clerkships at preceptor hospitals located across the United States.
KCU students complete their education in years three and four through clerkships at hospitals located throughout the United States[EC1] . [EC1]Source: https://www.kansascity.edu/programs/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/clerkships
New subheading in Academics: Dual Degree Programs Add subtitle "Dual Degree Programs" to the paragagraph about dual degree programs. Change "offers two dual degree programs" section to "offers dual degree programs, including a DO/Masters in Bioethics, as well as a DO/MBA in Health Care Leadership which is offered through a partnership..."
College of Bioethics
Suggested: expand this paragraph to be more evergreen and provide a little more detail. Suggested text: The College of Biosciences was established in 2005 and offers a Master of Science of Biomedical Sciences which prepares students to pursue doctoral programs in healthcare fields, and covers anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology and epidemiology, cell biology, embryology, genetics, histology, physiology and molecular biology. A two-year research track prepares students for careers such as research scientists.
Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program Add "PsyD" to include the degree earned through the program. After "American Psychologocal Association" add new sentence: The program integrates empirical evidence and practice through coursework and clinical training.
Change "will offer" to "offers."
Suggested to remove last sentence "This program will work..."
College of Dental Medicine The KCU College of Dental Medicine is projected to open in 2022 at the Farber-McIntire Campus in Joplin, Missouri.
Campus (make plural: Campuses) Subheading: KCU-Kansas City Campus Change campus size to 33. Source: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1750+Independence+Ave,+Kansas+City,+MO+64106/@39.1072318,-94.5628768,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x87c0fa7fd8e35d43:0x903d8b3f7acebe7d!8m2!3d39.1072277!4d-94.5606881
Note: I'm not really sure how to indicate a source for that. The university campus has increased in size due to purchasing dilapidated structures nearby and turning them into green space. However, the total acreage is not documented, but it can be confirmed with Google Maps.
The Administrative Building" should be "The Administration building." The Annex does not have 2200 lecture seats. That should be removed. Need to add the Academic Center after the Annex Building: "The Academic Center houses two lecture halls with a combined seating capacity of more than 600."
Dybedal is no longer used for clinical research. Need to delete the sentence beginning with "Opened in 2004...":
Strickland no longer has "a classroom for biomedical sciences students." It now also has faculty offices and conference rooms.
Student Activities Center no longer has "Common Grounds Cafe."
Add subtitle before "In June 2018" Center for Medical Education Innovation (CMEI) Add this as a second sentence in the paragraph: "The building opened in Fall 2020, providing medical students simulated clinical experiences using virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. CMEI also houses ICU simulation sites, medical robots, 22 standardized patient rooms, and a 70-bay lab for physical diagnosis, and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM).
New subtitle: Joplin Farber-McINtire Campus or KCU-Joplin Should be 51 acres EJParnell ( talk) 21:40, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello all, an updated logo has been uploaded to the Wikipedia commons and needs to be replaced above the info box. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Logo_Kansas_City_University%2C_a_medical_school_in_Kansas_City%2C_Missouri.png The upload expires 2/15, I will re-upload if needed. It is 235x75 px
Also, the KCUMB.edu has permanently changed to kansascity.edu, and the redirect will expire in June 2021. Links in the references will break if not updated to kansascity.edu. EJParnell ( talk) 23:38, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Moved as proposed; however, I am exercising editor's discretion to move the defunct institution to Kansas City University (1896–1933), as a more precise option. BD2412 T 05:43, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
– The subject of this article has changed its name from "Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences" to "Kansas City University." However, the article name "Kansas City University" is used to describe a defunct university, which has been out of operation since 1933, which has about 1/10th the article traffic compared with the active university. I recommend changing the active university's article name to "Kansas City University" and the defunct university's article to "Kansas City University (defunct)" or "Kansas City University (Methodist)" ( WP:QUALIFIER).

Hello, I have made some easy to document, small changes, but you may want to review these additional requests. (NOTE: I removed a few requests that had already been addressed.)
INFO BOX Add Robert White, PhD as dean of Biosciences. Source: Source: https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/print-edition/2014/10/24/newsmaker-kcumb-s-white-answers-when-opportunity.html
HISTORY SECTION
Remove 4th paragraph beginning with “In 2009…” (excessive detail, not consistent with general history.)
5th paragraph (2014): change last sentence to: “The CMEI building opened in 2020.” Sources:

NEW SECTION:
Score 1 for Health
Add 2 more sub-heads under “Outreach”: Medical Missions KCU faculty and students participate in international mission trips to countries including Guatemala, Kenya and the Dominican Republic. Many of these trips are conducted in conjunction with DOCARE International, an osteopathic medical outreach organization dedicated to providing much-needed health care to indigent and isolated people in remote areas around the world. Medical missions provide students practical, hands-on experience in rural settings.

Student Clubs and Organizations Many clubs and Organizations are available to KCU students to encourage networking and interest-based experiences. All student clubs must complete at least one community service project each year. (Note: This was under "Students" and the info there was very old. This is the current list, but I suggest not listing them out. http://www.kcumb.edu/student-experience/get-involved/student-clubs) EJParnell ( talk) 23:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
/info/en/?search=User:ElKevbo I've requested input on Karen Pletz several times, but have not had any sort of response. My hope was simply to provide consistent information, listing all presidents and their contributions/associated news strikes me as inconsistent with other higher ed pages.
Here are my thoughts:
I'd appreciate any thoughts or guidance on this. Thank you! EJParnell ( talk) 17:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
