Need sources?

I noticed that you're waiting on approval for access to JSTOR at the Wikipedia Library. JSTOR currently has a waitlist due to lack of available accounts. In the meantime, the Resource Exchange can help! We connect content creators with reliable sources. If you need a specific article or passage from a book that you don't have access to, drop by and leave a request. We're happy to help you access paywalled and print sources to the extent allowable by copyright law. Please let me know if you have any questions. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 03:17, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

INFORMAZIONI FALSE E NON CORRISPONDENTI AL VERO

La motivazione di avere cancellato solo una parte del testo dove viene nominata la Unisanraffaele come facente parte del Politecnico è ASSOLUTAMENTE FALSA E PRIVA DI OGNI FONDAMENTO, QUESTA E' LA MOTIVAZIONE, NEL CASO IN QUI DOVRESTE INSISTERE CON QUESTE FALSITA' SAREMO COSTRETTI AD AGIRE DIVERSAMENTE RIVOLGENDOCI ALLE SEDI OPPORTUNE. CORDIALI SALUTI. ( Evangelic (talk) 07:02, 9 June 2017 (UTC)).

@Evangelic: This is English Wikipedia, we communicate here in English. From Google Translate, I gather you think the information you removed is false. What makes you so sure? — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 07:13, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

I saw the removed info and accepted it, only because it was unsourced. There was more unsourced info in that paragraph, so I removed that too. Hope this helps. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - General Health ‖ 07:20, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

@Ebyabe: Please don't be taken in by this WP:SPA. This appears to be just another in a series of attempts by SPAs to whitewash the well-deserved negative reputation of Politecnico di Studi Aziendali. These attempts have been happening for years. The websites mentioned in the removed texts back up the statements. Potential students and their future employers need to know what that organization is doing. I urge you to reconsider. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 07:54, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

OK, I reverted back. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Health and Welfare ‖ 07:59, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

@Ebyabe: Thank you. I copied this section from my user talk page to the article talk page for greater transparency. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 13:40, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Do not encourage meatpuppetry (your statement "Now I need help defending at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Screenshot/fodder" here). That you think your actions are beneficial does not exempt you from the rules. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:50, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

@Chris troutman: Sorry, you're right. I reworded it here. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:01, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
