Talk:International University Vienna

message: I have reverted the edit made by Globalcitizens (contribs) on  23:21, 18 February 2008. While the edit added some new information on IUV, its main purpose was obviously to delete some undesired information (including the infobox) or give it a different (and in IUV's view more desirable) spin. For example, the uniqueness of the withdrawal of the accreditation and its reasons are replaced by a statement that suggests that accreditation withdrawals are common in Austria. In fact, this was not only the first but until now the only revocation of a University accreditation in Austria (in case of IMADEC the accreditation period ended regularly and was not renewed). The link to the Austrian Ministry of Interior suggests official governmental recognition although it just mentions IUV as a nonacademic institution. Sorry IU-Globalcitizens, but the right to grant academic degrees in Austria requires accreditation. 
To avoid an edit war I suggest that you add your valuable information without using the same edit to delete NPOV facts.--Wikiwatchers (talk) 00:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revert of  00:19, 22 February 2008 

message: I have again reverted deletions of sourced facts and replacement by unsourced attempts to explain the special situation of IU (see special pleading). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so only facts (with references, where necessary) should be reported. Everyone is free to add encyclopedic facts (including, of course, positive facts) about this institution, but please do not delete relevant facts that you do not like. --Wikiwatchers (talk) 20:41, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Second revert after another IP deleted text ans all sources. This starts to be vandalistic. Level-3 user warning posted on IP talk page.--Wikiwatchers (talk) 23:24, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Maybe user Kingdbn would like to explain why he/she blanked out parts of the article  and references without comment? They seem relevant and NPOV.--Wikiwatchers (talk) 00:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can you give any reason for blanking out text and references? 

message: The University is still existing and functioning. Why is it tated as former private university as if it does not exist anymore?
Correction needed
This is wrong information  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.112.168.187 (talk) 20:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This institution is still existing, but is has lost university status in 2003 due to academic misconduct (see the statement on the website of the Accreditation Council of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research, which is already in the article). You know this fact very well as you complain about "obscure procedures" that have led to the loss of accreditation and express your belief that God is the authority to decide about the status of that institution. Your contributions do not seem helpful for improving the article, sometimes they are vandalistic, like blanking out the talk page. An admin had to block the article to stop further vandalism. --Wikiwatchers (talk) 21:10, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: No necessity to shout. If you want you may consult with WP:AFD. Don't restore an archived template again (as you have done here). The same applies to your colleague 86.59.100.138 (from IUV). I'll remove the tag. →Alfie±Talk 23:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  DELETE THE ARTICLE 

message: THE SET OF IDIOTS FROM WIKIPEDIA IS DUBIOUS. THEY USE THE BIG TOILET NAMED INTERNET TO FIND SHITTY SOURCES TO WRITE ABOUT THEM AND WHAT COMES OUT IS SHIT—Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.112.168.187 (talk • contribs) 18:10, 20 February 2010
Quote from the article:
Currently the IUV is in the accreditation process with the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs ACBSP (see website of the ACBSP: The IUV is listed as an Educational Institution Member with Baccalaureate/Graduate Candidacy – Status). The ACBSP is recognized by the U.S. Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and operates as an accreditation agency over 20 years. According to the IUV-Website the accreditation process should be finished at the end of 2009.
# The IUV is not listed as a candidate at ACBSP (AVBSP, Region 8).
# I would be grateful if somebody could give a hint where the last statement can be found on IUV's website (except here or there).
# If no suitable references will show up in due time, I will remove this section. →Alfie±Talk 23:46, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Due to the repeated unexplained or improperly explained removals from this article, and the inappropriate attempts to get it speedy deleted (both by registered editors and IPs), I have temporarily protected it so that non-admins cannot edit it. If anyone thinks it should be deleted, take it to WP:AfD. If you think some content should be removed, explain your reasons here, with supporting citations, and try to get a consensus first. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:10, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
