 * Kindly observe WP:NPA. You've shown no reasons why this should be considered unreliable.  Moreover, while you've explained yourself now, you gave no explanation for the removal before.  Here at Wikipedia, there are many people who remove content without any good reason, and if you delete referenced information without an explanation, anyone will consider it vandalism.  Moreover, the editor who added the text was CaliforniaAliBaba, who appears to be a highly reputable user; if you wish to dispute this text, you'd do better to talk with him.  Finally: how am I supposed to know that you go to MIT?  We don't accord any special privileges to people because they say that they live in or are deeply familiar with a certain place — I don't get any special authority about western Ohio — primarily because there's no real way to prove that someone really is who they say they are.

 * Moreover, if a link is properly cited (as these ones are), it's valid for referencing purposes even if the URL goes down. Please don't remove links because they're rotten.  Nyttend (talk) 14:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

So are you saying that the links are valid but you can't prove it because they are rotten? How convenient.Use your logic, has MIT, or any top institutions, ever accepted 100 students from 1 asian country, let alone from a single no-name institution of Vietnam? Saying that MIT accepts 100 university from that place is not only a lie, but also dangerous and misleading for future viewers.
 * You deleted links because they were rotten, and your rationale of "I know for a fact" is original research, since you're changing things based on personal knowledge. I don't know that top institutions have never accepted such a number of students, whether MIT or otherwise.  Finally, calling these pages "lies" is a further attack on CaliforniaAliBaba, who added the text — personal attacks are not tolerated on Wikipedia.  Nyttend (talk) 15:23, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, this is frustrating. The information provided in the links (if they ever existed to begin with)are false, but I can't prove that they are because they are rotten. And now you are accusing me of vandalism for removing untrue information while the only proof that I can provide is that there is no FPT student at MIT nor will there ever be because FPT University is a low-tier school in Vietnam that anyone can pay there way in. I would like to see this CaliforniaAlibiBaba to prove that his information is valid with valid links and not some dead links from some unrealiable news site.

And by the way, no one cares to protest this false information because no one knows FPT university to begin with. Your unwavering determination to undo every attempt that I make to eradicate false information on that page is irrational.


 * Without too much trouble I found live links to English language articles that back up both claims. The Microsoft story was on the Internet Archive and I found the other with a Google search. The billionaire gives scholarships to MIT story is something that seems to be his intiiative, not MIT's. It also says he will make good his promise within 5 years, so there are still about 2 years to go on that. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 19:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

The English article that you cited is an english version of a cheap newsite affiliates with FPT (run by former FPT board). Let's just assume that Patrick McGovern does offer FPT 100 scholarships (though highly unlikely based on the nature of the article)then it would be highly illogical and impossible for MIT to accept 100 vietnamese students from a low tier recently established university run by a tech company (think Microsoft University). Further more, the "5 years" promise is just a trick to get them free publicity for at least 5 years. By insisting on keeping that information, you have facilitated a cheap marketing trick by that low quality institution. Any person affiliated with MIT would be ashamed that the school has anything to do with FPT U.

3RR
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:49, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Whatever, keep the false cheap information that contributes to popular belief of Wikipedia's unreliability. No one is going to trust such ridiculous claim anyway. Although I do wonder where you guys actually go to college, probably some low ranked shameful place. You are probably some nobody in a basement with no life and nothing to do but clawing onto a website.

If you have proof that the website is not reliable, please discuss it on the article talk page. By the way, attending MIT does not make you automatically a better person anymore than sitting in a garage makes you a car. Even if you attend MIT, you still have to follow WP:3RR and WP:NPA.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Linhbach. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Linhbach~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
