Are these newest edits really appropriate? While they definitely add a lot of relevant content to the page, the way they're phrased comes off as a recruitment pitch. Don't get me wrong, I love Ivey (I just finished HBA1)... but I'm fairly certain that Wikipedia policy states articles have to conform to a neutral, non-commercial tone.
Also, the user making most of these edits ("Iveyinfo") seems to be on Ivey's payroll (which would make their edits suspect in light of wikipedia policy).
If these edits aren't reversed in a couple days, I intend to change them to conform to a tone that isn't so obviously self-promotion. Read the pages for the other major business schools and you'll see that they're not glowing reviews like this page is at the moment, but rather straight-forward facts. Its only fair that we adhere to this accepted standard.
Example:
Sentences like "The Ivey HBA provides students with endless opportunities upon graduation" should be rephrased to something more neutral such as:
"The Ivey HBA is widely recognized as a top-tier program by employers; several large firms recruit from the school."

[edit] Article need clean up
There are literally over 20 claims that need citation or to be deleted in this article. Its seems like someone from Ivey was vandalzining this article, it is simply seems like an advertisement, filled with claims about how great ivey is with no sources to back up the claims.
All of the facts mentioned in this article are true. Someone just has to go through it and properly cite them, that is all. It really does not seem like someone from Ivey was "vandalzining" this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.50.216 (talk) 03:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Uh huh
Yeah... except Ivey really IS one of the best business schools in Canada.
Even if it is, there's no external references that confirms it. Also, phrases like "located right on the university's beautiful campus" reads like a recruitment pitch. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 155.91.28.231 (talk) 15:54, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
