Verifiability tag
[edit]Hi Doomsdayer520. You recently added a 'verification needed' tag to the page, and I was hoping to get some clarification on that. I believe that all statements in the article are referenced to reliable sources. Is there a section or statements that are not? Or does this tag signal something else? Thanks for your thoughts.

- Jlevi - Actually I was thinking that there should be more sources overall, beyond the current three, because the article is very dependent on those. That is especially true for the Wired article. I particularly recommend some more perspectives on Mr. Allred. However, since the school is relatively new there's not a lot out there. We can consider that a longer-term challenge, and I will remove the tag from the top of the page. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. I absolutely agree with you, and I think there are enough sources out there to considerably improve the article in this sense. Jlevi (talk) 19:44, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Lambda School → ? – As Lambda School has officially changed their name I feel like a move to *somewhere* is relatively uncontroversial, but am uncertain whether "Bloom Institute of Technology" or "BloomTech" is better (may be too early to tell if that'll be a lasting Common Name yet) PapaMichael (talk) 03:11, 22 December 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Move to Bloom Institute of Technology, its official name. Too early to know if "Bloom Tech" will become the common name and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:53, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
