Victoria university Switzerland mishandling by wikipedia

Extended correspondence with an editor, Jfeise, is producing little impact. False and damaging statements within the Victoria University Switzerland page are being reversed by what seems to be an incompetent and immature editor. Insistence on the inaccurate and damaging text will invite legal action and claims for compensation for global damage to market prospects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.196.81.11 (talk) 17:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Please read WP:LEGAL. jfeise (talk) 18:16, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

University of Northern Virginia

Hello! You have been engaged in a protracted dispute about how to word the lead sentence at the article University of Northern Virginia. I protected the page for two days, hoping you all would go to the talk page and actually discuss the issue, instead of simply reverting each other. That did not happen. There has been no discussion at the talk page, by anyone. Instead, the edit warring resumed within minutes of the protection expiring. I have now blocked the page for a week. During that time I expect to see some actual discussion at the talk page, with a real attempt to understand each others' position and work out some kind of consensus wording.. I remind you all that Wikipedia works by consensus, and that edit warring is a blockable offense. --MelanieN (talk) 03:18, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Insisting on writing misleading information on the University of Northern Virginia Page

It was formerly accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) from 2003-2008,(please check source Ref1 Page A30)

Insisting on writing that it was unaccredited is misleading and false statement and contradicts the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia reference source document (Ref 1) Page 30).

Why are you insisting on doing this ? what would you benefit ? We are trying to make this website an accurate tool for presenting internet users with correct and accurate information while maintaining neutrality and good ethics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Honorable gentleman (talk • contribs) 10:03, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

I explained my reasoning on the article's talk page. Please discuss the issue there. The accreditation section says that the institution was accredited until 2008, so the information is there. There is nothing misleading. Not everything belongs in the lead. jfeise (talk) 14:34, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Crowfurt

Seems we have a problem here. Any suggestions? Doug Weller talk 05:35, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes, looks like it. I see you already banned this user for a bit. Maybe that helps. jfeise (talk) 13:05, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) Accreditation

The Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) is no longer recognized by the US Department of Education as an accreditor. It does not matter whether it is appealing because its accreditation is currently revoked. Do you work for ACICS? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcf1291 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Huh? No, I don't work for them. But according to articles, they are still recognized, because the 30 days for appeal are not over. This is called due process. As of this time, ACICS is, if you or I like it or not, still a recognized accreditation agency. jfeise (talk) 21:51, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

However, ACICS does not accredit doctoral degrees. Look at US Department of Education's description of ACICS. Do not revert back again or I will request the pages to be locked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcf1291 (talk • contribs) 22:16, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Granted, ACICS doesn't accredit doctorates, but that is orthogonal to them still being a recognized accreditor. As of this time, ACICS is still a recognized accreditor. Please do not change that in the articles until it is official. At this point, they have Due process rights. They are still recognized. Oh, and Wikipedia relies on consensus. Discuss things in the talk pages before changing the articles. jfeise (talk) 22:22, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

West Germany, then Germany

Howdy, the country was known as West Germany from 1949 to 1990. Then after the reunification, Germany. GoodDay (talk) 17:22, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

That was the colloquial name. The official name was and still is Federal Republic of Germany, in German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland. After unification, just saying "Germany is fine because there is only one Germany now, but the official name is still FRG. jfeise (talk) 17:51, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

It's more clarifying for readers, if West Germany is used, before 1990. GoodDay (talk) 18:04, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
