===80s History Problems===
It's really great that someone tried to continue on with the article into the 80s and then the modern era. The problem is that it's not written like a wiki article. The text needs to cite references (from books, magazines, newspapers, etc.) or needs to be removed. In addition, much of the text isn't neutral and appears to be the writers point of view. These are against Wikipedia guidelines. Please consider rewriting or the section may have to be deleted. Okguy (talk) 06:17, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been more difficult than I expected.  I've been looking for months and I can find some generic information, such as that which is on the Campus Corner official website, but I am not finding much history.  I've looked through many reference history books at the Norman library.  I may try to go to Bizzell tomorrow or maybe the downtown OKC library and see if they have anything.  I've searched the web pretty exhaustively and am not turning up much there either.  Without good references I am not sure much can be done with this article. Okguy (talk) 04:39, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: 80s History Problems

message: You know I am having a lot of trouble finding historical data on Campus Corner.  I have looked through several reference books at the downtown library and other than old pictures am not turning up much.  I guess my next step might be looking through some old Norman Transcripts.  Anyone have any other suggestions? Okguy (talk) 21:59, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: History hard to come by

message: I have started off the page redesign by adding a new Infobox and related information in it, moving the text that was previously on the page to the new History section and word-smithing it, adding to it, and adding references, and adding a new introduction.  I have also added new photos and have more to add in the future.  I've created a section called 'Campus Corner today' that I envision will give a description of what is going on there today and the types of businesses currently located there.  I also think it might be nice to add a section for beloved businesses of the past that no longer are there, if it can be done in such a way that meets Wikipedia editing guidelines.  I'll add more content as I have time.  Okguy (talk) 22:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
