Citing sources
Citing sources is really important. I removed all the links to the WSI sites for each country and started to use specific webpages as sources for information using:

I hope some editors, even anonymous editors, can use the cite tag to show exactly which webpage we're getting the information from. Cheers. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 12:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Criticism lacking
I've heard a fair amount of criticism regarding Wall Street Institute, at least in Italy, Portugal and Brazil. Most of what I've read is something like that they try to get clients to get a bank loan to pay for a full year of classes upfront, without making it explicit that it's a bank loan they're actually signing, rather than just enrolling. If the client decides they want to give up classes, for whatever reason - they can't. It's the bank they owe money to, not WSI itself (who's already received the money for the whole year from the bank).

That, and that classes are computer-based with very little human interaction, the standard of quality being deceptively low, and so on. I've seen these reports many times, in consumer reports and the like. I think there were even a few court cases. Seemed to me some very dodgy business practices, from what I can gather. I realized there was someone who tried to add some amount of criticism to the article, but it was completely reverted by another editor. It's spot-clean right now, which is kind of surprising. I don't know enough about this issue to be very useful, but I think that if another editor has the expertise, it'd worth the shot :) 87.196.55.69 (talk) 20:45, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I just walked into one today, they tried to make me get the loan as well. I know the talk page is not for the general discussion about the subject, but maybe we need to get the attention of local authority, so that we can have some official statement to cite.
