This is looking excellent - just a couple of tiny quibbles but not dealbreaking. Well done. Aiken D 14:54, 23 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

I noticed that this article's name is exactly the same as this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_East_Texas_State_Normal_College), so is it possible we could put the years that both articles cover of this college's history to avoid confusion? (1889 - 1917 for this article and 1917 - 1923 for the other one) Blue Jay (talk) 01:41, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
The names are different, with the addition of the word "State" in the second article: "History of East Texas Normal College" vs. "History of East Texas State Normal College".
Also, the dates are clearly stated in the first sentence of each article:
The history of East Texas State Normal College (ETSNC) comprises the history of the university now known as Texas A&M University–Commerce from when it was acquired by the State of Texas in 1917, to when it was renamed East Texas State Teachers College in 1923.
I think this addresses your concern. Michael Barera (talk) 20:21, 7 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
