message: This looks like a marketing page. For instance, there is the line that includes "- members of our university" rather than 'the' university.  Dougweller 17:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know how dare you to act like this? There are so many REAL copyvio on other pages about universities and you are removing MY text just because it is look like text on Megatrend University's website. Also you are not the only one admin on whole Wikipedia so I want second opinion, since I see that you have something against this article and you are not objective. 
My advice to you is to look around on another pages (about Universities) and compare some texts with source and you will find a lot of copyvio. But NOOO you are to lazy for that and have to act like a j*rk on this page. Best regards, --S T E V A N (talk) 03:33, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

text: To quote your statement above "But NOOO you are to lazy for that and have to act like a j*rk on this page" would be considered a personal attack here, so I advise you to read the link I provided about such issues. As for the copyvio that Dougweller removed, I've seen him deal with alot of copyvio and paraphrase issues, he's particularly knowledgeable about the subject, if he says its too close I'd take his word for it and keep working on rewording the material. Heiro 04:18, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I asked you for YOUR opinion? Now tell me objectively is this copivio?  --S T E V A N (talk) 04:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I'd agree it is too close of a paraphrase. Maybe something like "Megatrend University be came a full member of the Universities Community of Serbia in January of 2003". I'd still run it by Doug tho. Heiro 04:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And please, stop bolding words, it's considered SHOUTING here and is rather impolite. Heiro 04:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

text: Ok maybe I was overreacting about this. But that's because there is so many copyvio on Wikipedia (copy-paste) and you stick to this few paragraphs which are notably different then original text and because you insulted accused me using minor edit check box to hide something. As I said I wasn't about to hide my edits, I was just checking it automatically, because these days I was doing just minor edits on Serbian Wikipedia. I'm contributing Wikipedia since 2006 and I have never done something like that (trying to hide edit by checking minor edit).
I will prepare new version of this text and ask you for opinion before I place it in this article. Is that all right?

replies: text: Ok, why are you linking to a fairytale writer above - is the award named after him? What you need a reference for is the claim that the university was given the reward - there must be a reference for it which isn't the University. And yes, a new version  which doesn't look like the website in wording or structure. Dougweller (talk) 15:37, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

text: I didn't mean to insult him, it's the only word I recalled after using popups to view the first line of his article. Sure, there's a lot of bad stuff around, and there are far too many university articles that read like advertising brochures - this isn't the only one where I've removed copyvio and stuff that is inappropriate. I do what I can on a variety of types of articles, but with 3 million articles.... And I spent a lot of time finding sources myself. I looked for these awards, for instance, but couldn't find them - probably a language problem. Dougweller (talk) 16:39, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyvio

message: Given all the controversy about the sources used in describing the institution, it sounds like it might really be a diploma mill that grants degrees that are not generally recognized by other universities and legitimate institutions of higher education. If it is not a diploma mill, getting these issues squared away should be a priority. 66.234.204.13 (talk) 05:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I largely agree with 142.232.98.47. I dont have enough information myself about Megatrend to know if they are a diploma mill or not, but it seems as if we have enough ifnormation to state that they are at least a bad university, and possibly even a diploma mill. I think the way this is currently presented in the article is quite good and objective, and every reader can make up his or her own mind about it. SchnitteUK (talk) 10:16, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ownership? 

message: I can see box containing message that there is a dispute in neutrality of this article, linking to the talk page.
About doubts in neutrality, I can see only one user which contends it, and only contribution of this user on Wikipedia is constant deleting of material critical to the Megatrend and replacing it with promotion material from University's web site. My opinion is (and by no means I want to accuse without evidence) that user Balancerx (or IP 184.145.137.152) is someone closely connected with Megatrend University or with its owner and former rector M. Jovanovic, and that user's opinion and accusations are biased as a result.
From my point of view, dialog box about disputed neutrality should be removed, not only because three months without any contribution on a talk page, but also because above mentioned activity of the disputing person.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.200.23.190 (talk) 10:07, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I really don't understand what's going on.  are you sure? Both names are here: And on the page about the university it clearly refers to itself numerous times as John Naisbit university. And if you are interested, there are now two sections at WP:BLPN involving the controversy over Mića Jovanović who I see is back, although the article says the opposite. Doug Weller talk 13:42, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Their web site is probably not updated. Danas is pretty reliable source, and it says that "Megatrend became Megatrend again" in 2017. And, yes, Jovanović became the rector once again few days ago (see ). Vanjagenije (talk) 17:06, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  that makes sense. I wonder what the story is behind his becoming rector again. I really would like your input at WP:BLPN#Possible defamation of academics and the next section. I doubt anyone else is going to wade through that and be able to understand it. Doug Weller talk 17:43, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
