Do you have a citable source for Victory Forge's name change? --Orlady (talk) 15:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I have 16 article which I have purchased from High Beam. These are news stories published in newspapers over a span of 15 years. Unfortunately, when I post a refernce, only a few lines of the news paper article appear as the rest have to be purchased to be viewed. I will be more than happy to send those articles to you or to post them on a website (although this may violate their copyright policy).

Also, for the name change, I called the Victory Forge number and it was answered by Molly who worked at Victory Forge and she told me about the name change. The address of the place is the same address of Victory Forge, the website is exactly the same, and Al Weierman is still the instructor. For additional information from the Florida Sec of State see [1] which is the Annual Report for Victory Forge and compare it to [2] the "new" annual report for Southeastern. This is the exact same place - only the name has changed.Pframp (talk) 03:02, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

That would be Molly Weierman who answered the phone, eh? I don't doubt that this is the same place (and I've also looked at the state reports, which include Molly's name), but Wikipedia seeks substantiation from the kind of "reliable source" described at WP:RS. It would be helpful if there were (for example) a newspaper article announcing the name change. If the highbeam articles substantiate the name change, they can be used. We need the usual reference details: titles, authors, publication names, dates, etc. I'd be happy for you to e-mail them to me if you are comfortable doing so; there's an e-mail link on my user page. --Orlady (talk) 05:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I will find this source and email them to you. Currently I do not have a newspaper article announcing the name change, but I have placed a call to the Fl Sec of State to get that information from them. The only thing right now is that the physical address for the two places along with those running it are the same. Once I get some additional information, I will send it along. Thanks.Pframp (talk) 20:10, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

If one was to go to Private School one can confirm this as well. Type in Victory Forge Military Academy in the search and one will see Southeastern Military Academy pop up. The costs, the class makeup etc are exactly what Victory Forge had. Moreover, it appears that Victory Forge just went to the private school webiste and updated the name on 1/5/10. Yet if one looks at the pictures on the right side of the page, one will see a link to Victory Forge website which if one clicks will take you to SEMA. Also, there are pictures of Class of 2006 and 2007 - how can this be if the school in new? It is the same place and I will get additional confirmation to keep on making this case. Pframp (talk)

"Interesting" about that website. I have no doubt that these are the same school, but it sure would be nice to have a source that Wikipedia could cite. --Orlady (talk) 17:28, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
