Talk:Sylvan Learning

message: I don't feel quite strongly enough to AfD the page, but, to me, it looks like an advertisement, and quacks like an advertisement. Grepowell 04:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Sylvan Learning Center is a very popular and, from what I hear, reputed tutoring institute for children in the US.  This article needs massive work on a variety of points, but the article should not be deleted.--Esprit15d 17:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep.  We keep individual schools, so a chain of schools can certainly be included.  Friday (talk) 17:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

text: +1 for keep.  Wikipedia has thousands of other companies with articles here.  Nothing different with this one except a need for a rewrite. --Drmike (talk) 00:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Now, I wonder if someone could put this article on the Wikipedia:Requests for expansion page. I need to get to sleep so someone else will have to do it. Please. Thanks. --Shultz 17:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Requests for Expansion

message: The first paragraph of this entry, though not entirely neutral, is not in dispute.  The second paragraph clearly has an agenda, with observations like "Sylvan works with 'corporatist' governments around the world to promote deterioration of public education..."  In what way???  This passage is so far off base and inflammatory that it makes me wonder how the author was harmed by Sylvan Learning Center, or what other source his / her anger toward the subject has. --Blackjack48 02:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The complete lack of any outright qualitative assessment (except for the backgrounds of the owners) speaks volumes about this culture.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.235.104.123 (talk • contribs)  <SMALL>, at 00:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has been (properly) trimmed to its bare bones.  I can't imagine what more needs to be cited, so, if there is no explanation forthcoming, I will remove the remaining tag within a few weeks. Unschool 21:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I've done a revert to Unschool's January 3 revision of this page, but kept the current advertisement/POV tags intact. It read like an advertisement (especially with the edits by 69.7.77.20) - and still does - that was the best version I could revert to. This page needs a lot more cleaning up. --FlyingPenguins (talk) 05:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Why the FUCK does EEEE redirect here!? What the FUCK does "EEEE" have to do with Sylvan BULLSHIT Learning!? ANSWER ME YOU FUCKING SHILLS!!!
:Profanity aside, I think the writer may have a valid point. I'm not certain what EEEE actually stands for, so I don't have any idea as to why it links to this page. Perhaps someone with knowledge of EEEE or more experience with disambiguations can comment or take action? Transmissionelement (talk) 15:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Apparantly.. according to the user who redirected it. However when doing a search it appears that NASDAQ:EEEE leads to "Educate, Inc." or "eMachines, Inc", so I dunno. PS. to the original asker of the question, please Be civil. -- œ™ 13:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that explains part of this. However, I can't actually find that they have a stock symbol any longer. It does not appear to be EEEE or SLVN. Stock research really isn't my thing, but they were once SLVN, then were apparently bought by Laureate Inc, leading to a symbol of LAUR. Then I guess EEEE came in at some point. Currently, I can't tell who owns them, or if they are privately held. Anyone help? Transmissionelement (talk) 18:01, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
