Domenica

I noticed that you have placed a reference to Domenica's having the worst crime rate in the world. This, however, has no support beyond this one reference and therefore cannot be considered WP:RELY. We need scholarly references, and, for whatever reason, this one is not it. There is nothing wrong with quoting crime statistics from generally accepted sources. Murder rate is low here. No state department is saying to avoid it. Lot ot drug running but since the authorities aren't trying to stop it, there doesn't seem to be much of a problem with it. There's nothing wrong (and a lot right) with finding out why this reference is wrong and reporting it to Wikipedia. It probably ought to be blacklisted.

Please discuss future changes on the discussion page. Student7 (talk) 21:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Ross University. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please stick to the subject of the article. The crime rate in Dominica is not a relevant part of the article about this university. --Orlady (talk) 02:54, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The comment I added to the Ross University references a study that was conducted by NationMaster.com and is indeed factual. This comment is relevant to the school's location as many students attending Ross University have expressed concerned about their surroundings while on Dominica (spelled with an "i" not an "e" as you have mispelled it. Noting this citation is relevant to anyone considering living on Dominica for any reason(s) and does not constitute vandalism. I have sen you comment and revert changes on Ross' site before. Are you on their payroll UTC? I will continue to alert people to the existing crime statistics on Dominica - you know they are true and real. The rest of the Ross University site seems hiped as well and most certainly does not reflect "scholarly" references as you suggest I include. Much od the site is an advertisement - did you write it. Stop painting a pretty picture of Dominica as its stats do not represent it well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drjcoby69 (talk • contribs) 13:02, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced information about the crime rate in Dominica to articles for Dominica and Ross University. The crime rate in the country where a university has a campus is not ar relevant part of the encyclopedia article about that university -- it is no more relevant than the quality of the country's beaches would be. Moreover, NationMaster did not conduct "research" on this and is not a reliable source for this factoid. The United Nations source that NationMaster cites as the source of this statistic lists different statistics. This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you attempt to add this unreliable information (whether through this account or your IP address), you can expect to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Orlady (talk) 13:45, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have come fairly close to violating the intent of the WP:3RR if not actually over it. We will have to report this if you perist. Please stop. The information is clearly false for whatever reason. It is not valid and therefore irrelevant to the article. If it were true, I and the other editors would be happy to use it. We have no axe to grind. Student7 (talk) 14:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then I suggest that you also remove all of the irrelevant information on the Ross University site about economy, etc. because this too has absoluetly no bearing on the university itself. The entire description under RU seems very one-sided. How about some equal treatment here? Please know that I will comply; however, unless I see some radical changes to this site (i.e. citations noted where they should be, information only about the University and not all the hipe about Dominica, etc.), I will go out of my way to locate studies, published articles, valid citations to counter what is currently written on this site. You know as well as I that Dominica is "not" one of the safest islands in the Caribbean as such, people have a right to know more about it than is currently presented on this site. Spend some time altering the rest of this site so I won't have to waste my time countering what is written there now. Thank "you" UTC'er. By the way, I used to live in Dalton, GA so I know what UTC stands for. Now, please review the site and spend some time making it represent the University and not over-selling Dominica. PLEASE!!!

Close behind Domenica are those hotbeds of international terrorism and corruption, the crime-ridden states of New Zealand, Finland and Denmark. The "Axis of evil" I think was mentioned. Come on! There is something grossly wrong with these statistics. Someone has dropped a decimal point or, most likely, several decimal points, in constructing these things. Jamaica has 1/4 the crime of France! Greece, one of the safest countries in the world, has a "crime rate" twice Columbia's. Bulgaria, where people normally flee the cops who try to shake them down for money, is 3 times "safer" than Canada where there is a strict weapons policy. These figures are all poppycock for most countries. I don't know where they have their figures from but if they persist, they may find themselves banned from being used in a decent encyclopedia. Material has to be credible. These figures clearly are not. We have to use reliable figures. But because we use references,we are not obliged to use stupid ones! There is no requirement for that!

May I suggest that the entire Ross University wiki site be cleaned-up and that proper citations be offered especially when referring to Dominica. The heading on this site warrants such attention and clearly states that the content is in a conflict of interest state and needs more citations. If this is not addressed immediately, then I will lodge a formal complaint to have Wiki staff delete large sections of the site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.60.130 (talk) 15:33, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of these comments would be more likely to get productive attention at Talk:Ross University. As for the Ross University article, it does not discuss Dominica except for identifying it as the location of the school, so the statements about "hype about Dominica", etc., don't seem to be relevant. The cleanup tags on the article all do seem to have some valid basis (IMO), though. --Orlady (talk) 15:51, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ re your comment "it does not discuss Dominica except for identifying it as the location of the school." If you click on Dominica (at the end of the first sentence under School of Medicine), then you can see that Dominica is described in more detail - like an advertisement. In fact, the main Ross University wikipedia homepage states at the top that the entire Ross University write-up needs citations, is in conflict of interest, should be re-written and cleaned-up, and sounds like an advertisement. Again, this site needs to be cleaned-up immediately. And, other documented/cited additions that are made to this site "must" be left for other readers to see that Dominica is not at all what Ross University officials would like their prospective students to think it is. Let's get real with what Dominica is all about and allow others to know more about this island than its beautiful landscape - it is a "not so safe" island, as we all know it to be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drjcoby69 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... That link is not actually part of the Ross University article, but (through the sometimes-confusing magic of hyperlinking) instead is a pointer to Dominica, which is the Wikipedia encyclopedia article about the country. That article does need to present a objective, balanced, and verifiable account of the country, to be read not only by prospective Ross University applicants but also by schoolchildren, prospective visitors or investors, and anyone else who is curious about Dominica or needs to know about the country. Like many Wikipedia articles, that article certainly could be improved, but it seems (based on a quick read-through) like the Wikipedians who have actively contributed to it have tried hard to maintain balance -- and the article does not present a uniformly glowing picture of the country. Information on crime on the island could be a worthwhile addition, but the information needs to be supported by a reliable source (not NationMaster) -- and any new reliably-sourced information is more likely to be accepted into the article if the information and its appropriate location within the article has been discussed with other contributors at the article's talk page. --Orlady (talk) 15:38, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, you understand why I am upset that you keep deleting my edits; however, why don't you recognize NationMaster as a reliable source. They have been around for a long time. Also, what about the Ross U wikipedia site in general - it is an advertisement and cited as such at the top. It still needs to be cited properly and or re-written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drjcoby69 (talk • contribs) 16 April 2009

Being around for a long time is not what is required to be considered a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Nationmaster.com for more information on this topic. Also, no one is claiming that the Ross University article is perfect -- all those cleanup templates at the top of the article give the reader fair warning that the article has problems. --Orlady (talk) 19:03, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on St. Matthew's University. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. —C.Fred (talk) 20:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to St. Matthew's University, you will be blocked from editing. Basket of Puppies 16:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
