Naming college articles

Hi there! I've noticed you've started up several articles about closed colleges, which is of course very appreciated. However, when you're naming them, it looks like you've been including the state automatically in the title. I just wanted to let you know that it's best not to do that. Locations are only included in college entry titles when we're trying to separate two colleges with the same name -- for example, all of the many Saint John's Colleges. If a college is the only one with its name and yet the location identifier is still included, it makes it seem like there's another one out there in a different location.

I have moved I think two of your articles already so that they don't carry the location anymore, but if you could refrain from including it in the future, that would be most appreciated.  :) Also, you may be interested in reading the *Manual of Style so that you can avoid your articles being marked for clean-up.

Umm, citing your own blog?

How is citing your own blog aligned with Wikipedia:Verifiability? If something has its own reference, or information then maybe you should be citing that rather than your own iteration from your blog. Do also remember WP:COI — billinghurst sDrewth 04:00, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
