Malicious, unjustified removals or defamations against INSEAD

Latest comment: 8 years ago5 comments4 people in discussion

There are a few users who intentionally lower or defame the INSEAD reputation. I am only guessing that it is either INSEAD's competitors, INSEAD's competitors' students and faculty, or INSEAD haters for the lack of better words. This is a warning that no justified and malicious defamations in the form of removal of sources and such would be flagged and the users kicked off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:5500:40F:19C2:2426:21FF:586C (talk) 08:31, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I've formally warned the IP that this kind of behavior toward other editors is not acceptable. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 09:53, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Re האורים והתומים's question (on my talk page) why their edits are being reverted: they are obviously promotional in nature. They are trying to suppress one ranking where INSEAD isn't ranked very high, leaving other rankings in place, and adding the statement that INSEAD is "widely considered one of the world's best business schools" with sources that do not support this statement.

Yes, I don't think INSEAD or anyone feeling hard done by on behalf of INSEAD has any grounds to complain — the inaccuracies or encyclopedic errors present are overwhelmingly of a floofy, marketing nature. Consider the "campuses" section: "INSEAD has been a pioneer in setting up a multi-campus business school as a way to increase the global presence and nature of its faculty and curriculum." I have not corrected this, so to speak, because I do not understand the intent. The ungrammatical implied fragment "...increase the nature of its ...curriculum." does not appear in either of the citations (searching 'nature') and it is also peacock wording.

If any users should be "kicked off" as the unsigned commenter puts it, it should be for bizarre, passive aggressive edits like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:INSEAD&diff=653385140&oldid=149794730

The motives and mindsets of users do not matter, having the end result of an appropriate encyclopedia article does. Don't try to police this page, just make it better. Perhaps a pseudonymous departing student could put in some dry facts. EdJ343 (talk) 18:18, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
