Information unrelated to this organization

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. [see below]

Full Disclosure - My name is Jonathan Greechan and I am a Co-Founder of the Founder Institute, so I certainly have a conflict of interest on this topic.

However, various dummy accounts are being used to feature negative information related to an individual, not a company, on this page for the sole purpose of brand damage.

The following is continually being inserted into the top of the Founder Institute article:

"]n July of 2016, an arbitrator ruled that the CEO and sole shareholder of the Founder Institute, Adeo Ressi,owed $3.5 Million in damages to his former business partner for various breaches of fiduciary duty [6] In November of 2016, Ressii filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy [7]"

The above lawsuit is not related to Founder Institute at all - it is related to a completely separate organization, but is continually being inserted onto this page to give the impression that this lawsuit relates to the Founder Institute. Also, the bankruptcy filed is personal, not corporate. In other words these two sentences have no place on this page, but rather belong on the personal page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adeo_Ressi (where there is an entire section devoted to them).

I have been able to come to agreement (seemingly) on fair edits with the dummy accounts on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adeo_Ressi page, however edits keep taking place on the Founder Institute page and I don't want to "edit war".

I am not sure how to proceed.

Hi there. If you believe that the edits are disruptive, and you have failed to come to an agreement with the editor in question, you should first warn them with a specific template from Wikipedia:Vandalism#Warnings on their talk page. If such edits continue, you may wish to proceed to the Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism, and submit the issue there including the relevant differences, as well as proof that such information is obviously disruptive.

Notable companies and graduates

The section titled "Notable companies and graduates" lists mostly companies and individuals without Wikipedia articles. Are they truly notable? I suggest WP:WTAF applies and will trim the list unless anyone objects to just those with existing articles. Deli nk (talk) 14:35, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
