Talk:WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management

message: Some facts would be nice: How many applicants for how many places? What was the Abitur GPA of the class entering in 2007? Middle-half GMAT score? How many international students are currently enrolled? How is WHU currently placed in international rankings, notably in the FT European Business Schools league table? This kind of information should be expected from a school that has the nerve to claim to be "Germany's finest" in its Wikipedia article. Referring thrice to Kellog is not sufficient to support this claim anyway. Fred Plotz (talk) 12:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Supporting facts?

message: The article should be moved, as it should not be spelled with a hyphen, but rather with a dash (and spaces). 80.71.142.166 (talk) 12:39, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  move to [[WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management]] 

message: 1) A single controversy does not justify a subsection on "controversies.
2) The content of this former section did not refer to a controversy, but to only one source  in general and one primary source in particular. This fact is only partly covered by reference to other (commercial) websites presenting the results of the same study. Moreover, the user who had added this section has (self-) promoted this primary source in other Wikipedia articles. There is thus a high possibility of a COI. 78.109.77.105 (talk) 09:05, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Justification for deletion of section "Controversies"

message: At least since the the removal of the controversy sections, the issues with the phrasing are readily apparent. In my opinion, it should be addressed in the following ways:
* A section on the controversy/controversies should be added
* The tone of multiple sections needs to be neutral and not like it is taken straight from the promotional material of the school 
* a focus on notability would be beneficial and is clearly lacking here

replies: text: True, but the preferable solution is to create a reception section (as the essay is closer to best practice than binding policy). If you are willing to take the time? FortunateSons (talk) 18:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: A university is not an artist or work which should have a reception section. It would be better to integrate it with a History section - which is currently completely missing. intforce (talk) 07:39, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, that works too. FortunateSons (talk) 07:46, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  I think the crit section is generally appropriate, does someone disagree? 

message: I have what a strict reading could plausibly describe as a non-financial conflict of interest in regards to this article. While I believe that my editing (both talk page and article) is not affected by it, I have voluntarily chosen to provide this disclaimer in addition to the one on my user page.
