Talk:Belford University

message: :According to degreeadvice.com, Speedy Degrees (speedydegrees.com)is Affiliate of Ashwood University, Belford University, Affordable Degrees (affordabledegrees.com), and Rochville University are run by the same people. 
I've moved the above text from the article; in addition to the text itself being extremely unclear, Degreeadvice's information on Speedydegrees does not appear to be current; it no longer appears to be possible to link Belford to the other entities based on this source.

thread_title:  Connection to other programs? 

message: An editor has questioned on my Talk  page the neutrality of including a link to this entity's own site.  While Wikipedia is not a repository of links, neither is it a soapbox, and the presence of a link so closely related to the subject should not be construed as an endorsement.  Links to debatable, even detestable sites abound, especially in regard to controversial matters. Westboro Baptist Church contains links to its own site, as does Amway.  Including the site as a reference only provides context for the article, not least because the organization apparently does most of its business online. Robertissimo 09:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: EssayRelief, and Belford have the same IP/DNS/MX/server

message: All of the above shows a series of connections among a range of online universities and essay-writing sites.  However, it also seems to stray into original research, and certainly would if one went further and in the article claimed outright shared ownership.  As it stands, the article has a "Connections" section, drawing on an appropriate source. If a further reliable source can be found to illustrate additional connections, it should certainly be added.
A note to those editing this page:  other editors' Talk-page contributions should very, very rarely be edited.  Wikipedia is not censored. Robertissimo 03:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ownership/Connections

message: I do not think an edit war is the solution to whether or not the organization's official site should be included among the article's sources and references.  As has been stated, 
Wikipedia is not censored.  Editors' own feelings regarding any individual article subject's merits or lack thereof should not trump that fundamental, whether one is discussing religion, politics, or even the shadiest corner of academics.  The article is quite forthright in discussing what Belford is and is not, and has drawn on good sources to do so. Robertissimo 02:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Link to official site

message: The current version contains a spammy section. As I am at two reverts already I cannot revert the spammy text, but instead must seek a compromise version. Sorry about that. Weregerbil 18:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Spam, spam, lovely spam

message: The references proving that George Gollin was offered a doctorate is a dead link, so I've removed it, pending a reliable citation. Llamabr (talk) 22:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I did find a source for the information -- George Gollin's website. From the context, I think the true source was his website, not the link formerly cited in the article, and the item on his website was just an offhand statement. While looking for the source, however, I found some other items that I thought would add far more information value to the article than the Gollin item, so I added one of those other items. --Orlady (talk) 17:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
