Replies to your questions
Hi. These are quick replies to two questions you asked on my talk page. (I have not had time to take a look at the article again.)

You asked: Also can you please advise why it still says at the top of the page that citations are needed even though I have rectified citations from the previous page.


 * Answer: That's a cleanup template that will need to be removed manually after someone unrelated to Hult reviews the article.

You asked: Additionally, can you please advise why it is not possible to write "top-ranked" international business school even though a) I have cited the rankings and b) other pages i.e. London Business School has written "leading international business school"?


 * Answer: An article lead section should present a short summary of the key elements of the article topic. The first sentence, in particular, should be objective -- and things like rankings are inherently subjective. As a general rule, when trying to figure out what's acceptable in Wikipedia, it's best to look at Wikipedia policies and guidelines and not other articles (see WP:OTHERSTUFF for a discussion related to this -- but not specifically on this topic). If London Business School's lead sentence calls it a "leading international business school", then it seems to me that the London School article needs to be fixed -- not emulated. On the other hand, Harvard University does not contain any superlative adjectives in the lead sentence. --Orlady (talk) 17:32, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
