Why do people not talk about the edits that they are doing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.143.139.36 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 19 April 2006.
- It's a common malady. Some do, however. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:14, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- A good edit summary can work just as well. However it is the people who do not use either which cause a lot of work for the rest of us. --Kralizec! (talk) 14:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alphabetization or Cronological
someone should arrange the notables in some logical order. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.143.139.36 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 26 April 2006.
[edit] Dress code
Someone should double-check the changes in dress code mentioned in the article, as some of the "newly permitted" items mentioned have in fact been allowed for some time. I attended from 1987 until 1991 and was able to wear jeans and tennis shoes throughout that time. I believe sandals (on men and women) were also permitted at this time. Now, if the insistence on button-down shirts and ties has been abolished, that is a big step and should be noted in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.140.171.5 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 28 April 2006.
- I've made some edits in that regard. I don't know how to add links... there's an article on the dress code on the ORU web site at http://alumniweb.oru.edu/oru%20alumni/right74.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.68.241.1 (talk • contribs) 18:39, 29 June 2006.
[edit] history
the history sectioin seems a bit thin —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.37.224.9 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 10 June 2006.
[edit] Accreditation
Is this "university" accredited by anyone respectable? If it isn't, then that should certainly be mentioned. If it is, then it probably should be as many people (myself included, I confess) have very low opinions of christian "education". If the institution really is academically worthy, then it deserves to have this recognised. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DrHydeous (talk • contribs) 22:03, 25 October 2006.
- Info here: http://admissions.oru.edu/accreditationfacts.html You can go to the websites of these organizations and look up ORU, among other schools. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.140.2.93 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 29 October 2006.

- I've added a reference to this information in the article. — jammycakes 23:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Controversy
I was interested to note from the article on Word of Faith that some of the earliest criticisms of the movement itself came out of research work by faculty members at ORU, Charles Farah and Dan McConnell. I think that merits a mention in the controversy section. — jammycakes 13:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alumni/Kenneth Copeland
Would televangelist Kenneth Copeland be considered an alumnus?
