editThanks for your update to this article, but a lot of your edits read like marketing copy, and you seem to have gone to some effort to remove well-sourced material. Are you connected with this institution or employed by them?
Also, I saw your request for help with restoring citations. Old edits can be found under "view history", and I've already restored some of the references. For stuff from Pacific Islands Report, you'll need to use the wayback machine; I think most of the PIR pieces are backed up there. If you look at the existing refs, you'll see that its just a matter of adding "|archive-url=" and "|archive-date=" to the old data.--IdiotSavant (talk) 14:40, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am the Communications Manager for Oceania University of Medicine. We don't feel that the "well-sourced material" which occurred in the university's infancy is relevant anymore and hoped to move on. So yes, it may sound like marketing copy, but it is curriculum information important to applicants, so does it matter? Our growing pains have long passed and we have graduates successfully licensed and practicing medicine in many global locations. Plus, some days, the links to the articles in the citations are dead. If I am unable to edit this page and remove the outdated info, just tell me. Otherwise, I'll keep trying. Thanks again. Ramorris0425 (talk) 12:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

- Understood. This is the first time I have ever been involved with editing the university's Wikipedia page and I don't really know how it works. It's just that what you call "well sourced" citations have incorrect info, written by tiny newspapers in the South Pacific that are full of typos and unchecked information. We felt that what happened 20 years ago was irrelevant today when we have hundreds of students enrolled and hundreds of graduates successfully licensed and practicing throughout the world, primarily in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Samoa, and the US. Some of the citations were now dead links, as well. I'll slow down. I didn't mean any harm, I really just thought I was updating. Ramorris0425 (talk) 14:13, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
