-== Sources?  Anywhere?  Anyone? ==
-Sources?  the entire article lacks sources.  everywhere.  [[User:Skiendog|Skiendog]] ([[User talk:Skiendog|talk]]) 06:33, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
-== I Suck ==
-Ok, so I suck.  Sorry for reverting back to something that jerk [[User:65.13.7.4]] or 63.67.218.148 had messed up.  Keep up the good fight against coward vandals! [[User:Atrivedi|ATrivedi]]
-== History ==
-"around the same time that the others were separated"  needs to be worded better, and by someone more knowledgeable than I.   It seems to me that Geogia State was still pretty busy gerring separated itself (from Tech) around that time to me.  [[User:Rlquall|Rlquall]] 03:03, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
-==Additions==
-Some things that should be added:;
-Steel Bridge Competition results (SPSU has been a major player in these ASCE competitions)
-The are several notable people that have served as head of major companie as well as State DOT's that have graduated from SPSU.
-Whats the best way to get them listed?
-Also SPSU's links to Engineering Licensure
-[[User:Road guy|Road guy]] 18:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
-== Confused ==
-I'm confused about the section that states other schools in the university system were "split" from the 4 research institutions. First, Georgia State was always an independent institution and not part of georgia tech as the article states. Second, Georgia Southern has never run other schools; it only recently obtained university status itself. I'm reluctant to change anything only because I'm completley baffled by what is trying to be said there. Can someone explain what's going on with that section? --[[User:72.10.74.197|72.10.74.197]] 14:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
-Yes, Georgia State was founded as an extension of Georgia Tech. [[User:Todd Gallagher|Todd Gallagher]] ([[User talk:Todd Gallagher|talk]]) 06:41, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
-== Trying to Fine-Tune ==
-I'm trying to add/edit SPSU's page...but half the work I just put in is not showing up anymore.  Grrrrr!  I spent a long time on tables, dates, etc!  I forgot to log in, but it was my work.
-[[User:sirkevinalot|sirkevinalot]] 10:31, 27 December 2007 (SPSU)
-==help==
-I received help and all is better now on the page, thanks to [[User:Delldot|Delldot]] for the keen eye!

-== Educational assignment? ==
-It looks like an English instructor (presumably at SPSU) has assigned students to work on this article. I've contacted one editor—who was on his way to getting blocked for [[WP:SPAM|spamming]]—who indicated that he was editing for class.
-Heads-up to the Wikipedia regulars to expect some new editors here over the next week or two.
-To the students editing, welcome, and please make sure to look at the guidelines that will be linked in the welcome message you will likely get on your user talk page. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 05:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
-:Because of the volume of bad edits (big spelling errors, bad references, unencyclopedic sections), I've flagged the article for {{tl|cleanup}}. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 20:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
-== Posting a map ==
-I am one of the editors for the English class and need to post a map of SPSU, However I cannot post pictures without ten prior successful edits. Since i do not have any edits under my belt, would i just post a link to the map down at the bottom? Or could i have someone else post one for me? You can find the most recent map of SPSU at the SPSU homepage.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tfryar|Tfryar]] ([[User talk:Tfryar|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tfryar|contribs]]) 20:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:If it's available from the SPSU homepage, it does not need—and should not have—a separate link. Readers looking for the map can find it via the SPSU home page. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 20:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
-== Degrees claimed  that could not have been granted? ==
-The text says, "John Leverett, the founding and head of engineering at Panoz Auto Development graduated with a mechanical engineering degree in 1993."  However, SPSU was not approved to grant degrees in Mechanical Engineering until 2009.  http://www.spsu.edu/me/index.htm  The overwhelming probability is that Leverett's degree is in mechanical engineering *technology.*  How best to correct this error?  (A day later, I edited the article page to delete the degree description in question.  The claimed degree could not have been granted, but I have no way of knowing the actual degree conferred.)<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bbrownspsu|Bbrownspsu]] ([[User talk:Bbrownspsu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bbrownspsu|contribs]]) 21:45, 16 December 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-[[:Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology]] → {{no redirect|Southern Polytechnic State University}} – Somehow the name [[Southern Polytechnic State University]] was removed as the article's title, and replaced with [[Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology]]. SPSU is the correct and official name of the (now former) university and should be reverted back to such. Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology is the name of a SCHOOL within the newly consolidated university called [[Kennesaw State University]]. SPSU still has historical relevance as thousands of alumni graduated from SPSU. [[User:Sirkevinalot|Sirkevinalot]] ([[User talk:Sirkevinalot|talk]]) 17:31, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
-[[User:Sirkevinalot|Sirkevinalot]] ([[User talk:Sirkevinalot|talk]]) 17:31, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
-*'''Support'''. The article does not reflect the current SPCEET. It reflects SPSU as it exists pre-merger. To that extent, this article title should be the now-defunct SPSU. That said, it is probably appropriate to but a link somewhere prominent to KSU or to the section of the article about the new/merged-in college. I don't know that a hatnote is warranted, but it may be something to consider. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 15:21, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

-== Merge or rename ==
-I propose that this article either be merged with [[Kennesaw State University]] or renamed something like [[Kennesaw State University, Marietta campus]].  The reason is that Southern Polytechnic has been merged into KSU. And BTW, I don't have the time or knowledge to do it.
