[edit] Deletions by anonymous user

Maybe the user with IP 81.223.156.232 would like to explain why he/she keeps deleting parts of the article without comment? They seem relevant and NPOV, and they're sourced. See [1]. I don't want to get into an edit war here, maybe there's a good reason for the deletions, but it's just not apparent to me. --Brindt 08:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

IP 81.223.156.232 belongs to (name removed by Brindt, please see comment below) [2]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.188.113 (talk)

Whoever it is, he has struck again. This is really getting vandalistic. Maybe someone with more WP experience could suggest how to deal with this situation? Brindt 11:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Talk page blanked by same IP again. Restored it, placed a notice on the IP's user page. Brindt 06:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear All,

I am correcting the article of IMADEC University since beginning of August 2007, so it seems that also other WIKIPEDIA users disagreed to the statements in the article.

Let me explain my point of view:

ad honorary DBA degrees: ONLY the honorary DBA degree of Lamfalussy is void due to the UOG 2003, the others (Schwarzenegger, Vranitzky, Duisenberg) are VALID based on UOG 1999.

ad Austrian Accreditation: it is right, that IMADEC University tried to obtain a further accreditation at first, however based on new rules e.g. that a certain percentage of the lecturer should have their permanent office at Vienna, was not in accordance with the objectives of IMADEC University, with their understanding of international education. Nearly all lecturers of IMADEC are from USA.

ad the current degrees: based on the resolution of the government the degrees ARE valid.

I hope that I clarified some misunderstandings and if you want a further discussion please feel free and contact me either via this page or via my e-mail: refoh_at@yahoo.de.

Please support your claims with verifiable sources as required by WP:V, and refrain from deleting sourced and relevant portions of article text. If you keep on doing this, your changes will keep getting reverted, and it's rather likely you'll get blocked from editing (as has happened before). I have now tried to add your statement to the article, as far as I understand it: feel free to correct and supplement with sources. --Brindt 15:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FIBAA accredited or not?

Re accreditation, current article version reads "The Executive MBA program is accredited by the Foundation for International Business Administration (FIBAA)." The list of accredited universities at http://www.fibaa.de/engl/austria.htm doesn't say a word about this Imadec University though. 85.125.224.28 21:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation Query

I would like to offer my services as an unofficial mediator. Feel free to contact me on my talk page.

For the purposes of mediation, I am requesting that all parties refrain from editing, erasing or altering anything on this talk page. Additions are fine, but it is hard to come to a resolution of anything without a record of what has gone on.

To start with, what facts can we all agree on? Bobzchemist 22:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC) (TINMC)

It appears that the user with IP 81.223.156.232 has stopped messing with the article, but is still unhappy that WHOIS information about his IP's ownership is shown above. I'm taking the liberty of editing out the name from 80.108.188.113's comment, but I'm leaving the link in – it's public and easily retrievable information after all, not a secret. Hopefully this will stop the deletion-and-revert cycle. --Brindt 09:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Looks like the same person is at it again (judging by the pattern of editing), only using different IPs this time. --Brindt 06:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Claim about accreditation

We're now seeing the same pattern of deletions by an IP user again. This time with a change, i.e. this somewhat nebulous statement here is added: "As a consequence of a further accreditation by the Austrian Accreditation Council - in particular based on certain guidelines - IMADEC's consistent international refinement was endangered."

As far as I understand this, the claim is two-fold: 1) that IMADEC voluntarily abandoned its status as a private university or was pleased with its expiration, and 2) that this was done because re-accreditation would have some (unexplained) negative effects for IMADEC.

None of the referenced sources support these claims, quite the contrary: both the AAC's press release[3] and the "Wiener Zeitung" report[4] state that IMADEC definitely tried to extend its accreditation. According to the latter report, IMADEC president Joksch is quoted as wanting to fight the council's negative decision to the end.

Unless the claims can be supported by proper sources, my impression is that this is an attempt to put a different spin on the loss of accreditation, more than a year after the fact. In any case, there is no legitimate reason to delete the properly sourced statements that are in the article now. --Brindt 11:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I have added some information to this part. Anyway, if the claim is not supported by sources within the next days, I suggest to delete it.--Wikiwatchers 01:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. Let's give it a few more days, then delete unless it has been substantiated. --Brindt 06:34, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
OK, deleted. This and other claims were excessively discussed on the German talk page, with substantial (and sometimes amusing) contributions made by our IP-user-- Wikiwatchers 22:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Institution's claim to be known for it's focus on the Austrian school of economics removed, as source was not delivered. --Wikiwatchers 22:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
