[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Pdean 17:15, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
University of Luton & Talk:University of Luton
Who's involved?
Pdean and I think one anonymous editor
What's going on?
I believe that a single anonymous editor is repeatedly adding selective facts about the University in order to portray the University negatively. I don't know why. I believe this to be contrary to Wikipedia's NPOV policy. However, I am connected with the University (staff) and so I'm not neutral myself. I have refrained from editing the article much on that basis but I would appreciate an independent assessment of whether the anonymous editing of the article is consistent with Wikipedia policy. I have tried to resolve this via the talk page but that is starting to escalate things rather than calming them. Thanks for any assistance.
What would you like to change about that?
The article to be reverted to a NPOV state and developed in a NPOV way. I don't feel I should be posting positive spin just to counteract negative spin. It would be better if the article was just overhauled by someone who doesn't care about the University either way!
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
I'm happy to be contacted via my talk page.
