COI[edit]

I'm still confused on how to make corrections to the West Kentucky Community and Technical College page. I am not trying to avoid identifying myself. I'm just very new at this and I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. How do I get information changed for the West Kentucky Community and Technical College page?

Post your suggestions and requests here. If you don't receive a timely response - there probably aren't many editors watching this article - feel free to also drop a line at WT:UNI. ElKevbo (talk) 23:12, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I respectively ask for the following information to be changed or added on this Wikipedia page[edit]

The last sentence in the "Student Population" section contains incorrect information.

Should read, "The largest school in the system is Jefferson Community and Technical College."
This is noted in the document in the footnotes (Sources: "Full-Time Equivalent Enrollment by Institution and Kentucky Community and Technical College System")

Information to add in the last paragraph of the "History" section.

For the fifth time, WKCTC was named one of the top ten community colleges in the nation by the Aspen Institute, and is now eligible to compete for a $1 million prize.

@Wkctcjan2020: Done, for the most part. I made some edits to the material. I also omitted two of the alumni, Hines and Hunter; they don't appear to have articles so you'll need to provide explicit sources (or create articles for them). ElKevbo (talk) 05:17, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
