QS ranking

I tried to include QS ranking which is standard for all universities wiki but someone reverted. Why? The person mentioned SMU is a specialist university as his excuse. I fail to understand how that means we cannot include SMU's QS/THES/ARWU rankings.

Yes, so? Specialist universities are well ranked by QS, some like Cal Tech and LSE even top it. I hope to include the QS ranking soon.

Specialized universities are not immune from ranking.Seriouzscholar (talk) 06:59, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No matter the University, QS ranking should be reinstated with the other ranking information for viewers discretion. Rongyao (talk) 12:04, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of Interest

@Bluestsky99: You may declare in your user page on your relationship with SMU.

COI disclosure for the request. --YutaMales (talk) 21:18, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Partially implemented - I've mostly added your suggestions. I've removed some information which is too promotional, such as the list of prestigious universities participating in the competition, (per WP:PROMO). I've also left out some sources which appear to be primarily e-commerce sites (per the WP:ELNO and WP:AFFILIATE external link guidelines), the remaining information is still well-sourced.
