There are not many changes needed to the article. But I am going to hold because I do want to hear something from you that caught my attention. Why is the same news release cited from three different source URLs? The article is surprisingly reliant on news releases in general, both from Rhodes and from Centre, in large part because newspapers simply repackaged the releases. However, most of the biographical details cited are not controversial and qualify as ABOUTSELF. PCN02WPS, ping me when done and when you have an answer in re: the releases.

Two comments from me on sourcing in general: pay attention to page numbers in Newspapers.com (section designations are never accounted for on analog microfilm scans, and in digital some papers are 2D where NP.com will always say D2 for instance), and I noticed that the newspapers are quite reliant on the colleges' communications departments and even the local Rotary club, both in Memphis and Danville. Most of the details cited there are ABOUTSELF and not controversial, but it is still worth noting! I also found the same news release used from three different sources.
Four sources were chosen for spot checks:
@Sammi Brie: thank you for the review! I have made the two copyedits you suggested and consolidated the references as you noted. Your point about news releases is a fair one, and the article likely wouldn't have been quite as reliant on them if Moreland wasn't the incumbent (he's a touch too new for most of my books and newspaper sources that I use regularly for Centre presidents). Alt text has also been added for the image. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
