Blue and yellow are our sport's team colours but the institute's official colours are dark blue (Pantone 288) and light blue (Pantone 299). We made the change to add the institute's official colours as well. -- dbegincr 14:05, 22 July 2009
The Bachelor of Applied Business Administration in Enterprise Management's name changed to just Bachelor of Applied Business Administration. We made the change to reflect the name change.-- dbegincr 14:05, 22 July 2009
Our campus is now just in Edmonton and St. Albert. We made the change to reflect the downsizing of the campus locations. -- dbegincr 14:05, 22 July 2009
I feel that we should add a "Famous Alumni" section but am having trouble finding information on this.-- LucidGA 03:58, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Can we please add NAIT techlife magazine to the external links? Text should be NAIT techlife magazine and the link is http://techlifemag.ca LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
I'd like to update the numbers in the introduction to reflect NAIT's newly-published quick facts: http://www.nait.ca/50198.htm Please replace the paragraph starting with 'NAIT offers' with the following:
NAIT offers approximately 140 credit programs leading to degrees, applied degrees, diplomas and certificates. There are approximately 8,400 full-time students, 20,500 students in continuing education and part-time studies, 12,300 apprentices anticipated for 2012, and more than 20,000 registrants for customized corporate based training.

The Retail Meatcutting program is now called Professional Meat Cutting and Merchandising ( http://www.nait.ca/program_home_78044.htm) Please change to reflect new program name. LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Can we list Emergency Management as a program under Diploma? ( http://www.nait.ca/program_home_89279.htm) LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Can we add Trades to Degrees pathway as a subheading underneath all the listed degrees, diplomas, and certificates? It should read:
Trades to Degrees pathway The Trades to Degrees pathway allows certified tradespeople the opportunity to move directly from a trades credential to the third-year of a degree program. ( http://www.nait.ca/89409.htm) LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Can we add a sentence about NAIT's 50th anniversary after the text listed under 'History?'
NAIT has been a leading polytechnic for more than 50 years. The school marked its 50th anniversary in 2012. ( http://www.nait.ca/44779_88938.htm) LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Can we add a few points under a new year 2012 subheading in the history section?
2012 NAIT celebrates its 50th anniversary as a leading polytechnic. ( http://alumni.nait.ca/page.aspx?pid=314) NAIT launches Trades to Degrees, which allows certified tradespeople the opportunity to move directly from a trades credential to the third year of a degree program. The pioneering Trades to Degrees pathway is a response to workforce demand for tradespeople with managerial, leadership and entrepreneurial skills. ( http://www.nait.ca/44779_89417.htm) LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Under the Campus section, can we replace the first line with the following:
The institute has three campuses in Edmonton: Main Campus at 11762 - 106 Street, Patricia Campus at 12204 - 149 Street and Souch Campus at 7110 Gateway Boulevard. The institute also has incubation facilities in St. Albert and, at its Calgary site, offers a selection of part-time and customized corporate training. ( http://www.nait.ca/campuslocations.htm) LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
The third paragraph under Students' Association about techlife magazine, isn't really related to the Students' Association. Can techlife magazine have its own subheading with the following information:
Techlife is the institute's official magazine, focusing on people, technology and innovation. It is published twice yearly, in spring and fall, with new content added regularly at techlifemag.ca. ( http://www.techlifemag.ca/)
If it's not possible to have it in its own subheading, can you please just revise the current text for it with what I suggested above. LindaHoang ( talk) 20:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Mtadridgy, a single-purpose editor who has only edited to add and readd this material, is insisting that there be a " Controversy" section in this article. The section cites only a vague Word document from 2005 and webpages from https://sites.google.com/site/thenaitway/, a self-published website that doesn't appear to be anything approaching reliable. In addition, the section is also poorly written with multiple grammatical and spelling errors. So without even getting into the materials complete lack of neutrality and the author's clear bias, this material doesn't belong here. ElKevbo ( talk) 21:28, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
As opposed to what User "ELKevbo" ELKevbo claims, the section is well-referenced and is according to the guidelines. The references direct to the websites (including the own institution's website) containing downloadable solid materials which corroborates the claims made in that section. Regarding the claim made on the section being poorly written, a minor edit (which I doubt to be necessary) rather than complete deletion could have worked as well, but "ELKevbo" insisted on deletion without seeking any feedback after only few minutes of review. This is a copy of the edit log:
21:03, 18 March 2016 ElKevbo (talk | contribs) . . (16,430 bytes) (-3,471) . . (→Controversy: on second thought, this doesn't appear to sourced or written very well) (undo | thank)

As it clearly evident from the above log, at 20:44 User "ContentCorrection" ContentCorrection deleted the section "Controversy". At 21:01, 17 minutes later, User "ELKevbo" restored the deletion and commented "white washing!". Then at 21:03, just 2 minutes later User "ELKevbo" deleted the section and commented second thought about the writing and referencing. Now, please tell me how could a mere 2 minutes of review suffices to check and read and download references. In my book, that is clearly being biased. Today, User "ELKevbo" deleted my restoration again without any due process of discussion, then invited me to discuss the matter after the fact. After checking his own talk page, I decided not to involve myself in a discussion forum where rudeness and vulgarity uncontrollably roams free. As you see, in his recent post above on my introduction, I have been targeted, attacked, insulted, and mocked in a very unsavory tone again. I will not get into discussion with an individual who enjoys mocking others, and ulterior motives seem to be his driving force. Section "Controversy" is just necessary to be here to show the solid facts about the institution. The section is solidly referenced according to the guidelines.
