[edit] I completey agree with you!!!
One of the main problems with wikipedia is that people make things up and pass it off as fact. Personally, I don't really care whether Sciences Po is a grande ecole or not. My view of the school as being highly prestigious is still in tact, but it is very important that accuracy is given pride of place, so I'm glad you changed it.
I don't know if you agree, but I think the title of grande ecole is rather useless given that SO many schools in both France and some other schools outside France are included under that title... (I checked the source you posted on the discussion page -- thanks again for that!! -- and discovered just how many grande ecoles there are). I always thought the grande ecoles were the most exclusive schools in France, but that list is too long to truly represent an 'elite'... maybe something should be set up by Sciences-Po, Polytechnic, HEC Paris, and the other elite schools in France (which I'm not really aware of) -- b/c that'd be far more helpful than such a huge list like the one with grande ecole.
P.S. Thanks for registering!!
[edit] Hi there
I saw your comments on the Sciences Po page, and I worked on widely reforming the article for much of yesterday. I think now the article is less a communication tool for the school, and far more neutral - all statements/quotations about its prestige or history have been referenced, and all the institutional alliances linking it to Harvard, et al have been removed. I kept the Global Public Policy Network b/c it's a very important alliance, and is recognized as such by all three schools... but the other 50 or so that were listed were obviously to just tour the school's connections with the American and British elite. I also see that there has been information added about Sciences Po alumni, mostly the French students, going on to study at ENA - which is the official training ground for the French government (I removed a statement which said Sciences Po was that training ground yesterday). I think you would agree with all the changes I made, but I just wanted to check... to be diplomatic and all. :-)
[edit] Answer
Sure, good work, the article is much better now :-)
