@Xhenis.behluli Hello, I am working on restructuring the content of your edit request in keeping with good articles such as Brigham Young University. I notice much of the content is taken verbatim from the sources provided, which does not adhere to Wikipedia's policy. So, I am working on revising the proposed content, removing promotional content and adding additional primary and secondary sourcing to support what remains. Please refer to my [draft in progress]. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Heartmusic678 (talk) 13:13, 18 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello Heartmusic678,
Please review my edit again as the content is not promotional but informative. You can look at other univerity pages. Univerum is a young university so the cantent can't historical.
I added the reference to the campuses. The erasmus projects are taken from a pdf file that I can happily submit if I can. Please refer where you find the content promotional so I can write it even more neutral since you left the page basicly without content. Also can you keep the original side box with the logo. Xhenis.behluli (talk) 08:19, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Xhenis.behluli Thanks for your message.
Please understand that what I shared with you was an incomplete working draft that I recently updated as I reviewed each part of your edit request.
Please let me know what you think of the current draft. We are not allowed to copy and paste content that matches the source content word-for-word, so I have been working on this draft to rewrite the content in other words.
It’s not customary for schools to have a long list of every single program they have to offer. Short lists are okay to add as well as notable programs. If the school has multiple divisions/departments, those are okay to add.
I noticed the content about the business school is repeated in your proposed lead paragraph and in your proposed Rankings section, so I only included it in the rankings section with a brief overview in the lead.
I previously shared the BYU page with you as a reference to a good university article. You are more than welcome to share any college pages you used as a reference as well.
If you could please address what is highlighted in the updated draft, I can include that information. Looking forward to that and your feedback. Thanks. Heartmusic678 (talk) 13:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Xhenis.behluli:. The suggested draft is here for your review when you have time. Thanks, Heartmusic678 (talk) 12:12, 28 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi, can you link me the draft? 178.132.223.42 (talk) 12:32, 28 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

(78 agreements and 9 projects are the numbers currently on the website.) - The web site was partially updated, the new list of universities was updated but not the numbers. You can look at it again.
It would be great if you could provide a secondary source for this detail. www.isc.hbs.edu/resources/courses/moc-affiliate-network/Pages/participating-institutions.aspx does not list Universum College as an MOC affiliate. It there are any other accolades you would like to add, this can be done here in the lead.) Will look at it and get back to you soon.
(Please provide sourcing that supports the No.16 ranked masters degree program and the name of the specific program.) - I can't find it what year that ranking was done, so I removed it for now. Xhenis.behluli (talk) 09:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Xhenis.behluli: Thank you so much. The updates are reflected in the green extended content box below. Let me know your thoughts on the current draft. I look forward to receiving sources that support the lists of Erasmus+ projects as well as a secondary source for the MOC detail. Heartmusic678 (talk) 15:06, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi, can I submit a pdf for the erasmus projects. I dont have a secondary source for the MOC. Also can you keep the side box with the Universum logo and info. Xhenis.behluli (talk) 11:28, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ok thank you, and yes, the info box on the right will remain on the live page. Heartmusic678 (talk) 16:54, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Where can I submit it? Xhenis.behluli (talk) 13:36, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Also when can the updated version be updated on the page? Xhenis.behluli (talk) 08:17, 7 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi!
I hope you are well.
Can you please review my edits again?
Thank you! Xhenis.behluli (talk) 14:21, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
no Declined. The additions (as proposed in the collapsed section above) are almost exclusively sourced to the school's websites, except for the rankings, which are sourced to a rather sketchy-looking "best of" website. The new version is generally rather "puffy" (Wikipedia does not care about mission statements) and the content is more appropriate to the school's "about us" page than an encyclopedia article. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:03, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Actually, I will incorporate some of the proposed changes to the lead section. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:04, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Outdated programme information

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The current programme information appears to be outdated. According to Universum College’s current website, several programme names and classifications have changed, and the number of programmes offered in some categories also appears to have changed. Could an uninvolved editor please review the current programme listings and update the article where appropriate?

Edit request: update article to reflect current institution name and add sourced content

[edit]
Latest comment: 15 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have a conflict of interest as a student at Universum International College (disclosed on my user page). I am not requesting this change on behalf of a paid engagement.

What should be changed: Please replace the entire article content with the wikitext below. This update:

  • Reflects the institution's current name, "UNI – Universum International College" (formerly Universum College), per the sources cited
  • Adds a properly sourced infobox image, accreditation details, rankings, and international partnerships
  • Corrects the existing miscategorization of the article as a "2005 establishment in Serbia" (the institution is in Kosovo)
  • Adds a COI notice per policy, since I have a declared connection to the subject

Every new claim is cited to an independent source (news outlets, partner universities, the European Commission, Cintana/ASU) or, where explicitly noted in the text/footnote, to the institution's own official records, flagged as such rather than stated as independently confirmed fact.

Why it should be changed: The existing article uses the college's former name and outdated (2022) accreditation status, and is miscategorized under Serbia instead of Kosovo. I have researched and cited independent sources for each new claim; anything I could not independently verify is explicitly marked in the text as sourced only to the institution's own records.

Proposed replacement text:
