Yes, I absolutely can -- in fact, it was in my last edit. It appears under the 2007 edition. I do have a question, though -- why exactly does it seem that so much emphasis is being placed on negative items and so much effort to weed out positive items about this university. Please forgive me, but it does look very, very strange.

I did have the correct link, now I must review again, but I will find it.

However, I must say very respectfully that I am perplexed and upset by the strangeness of your statements. I had never made changes until a few days ago, and that only in response to an apparent effort to paint a bleak picture of St. John's. I frankly don't understand. The changes that have been made -- especially the scandal section, which appears no where else among university web pages -- seems to reflect a real desire to do the University harm. Will you explain?

Can you locate where it says that st john's is ranked top 100 for education programs?

I may ask for arbitration
I request that you read the following item I pasted on general discussion. I believe the editor who is deleting positive info and deluging the St. John's article with negative info -- the type that does not appear on any other university article -- e.g., Fordham, NYU -- has some sort of a wierd grudge against the university. Following is my post:

I will need to ask for Arbitration concerning the St. John's article. I received a "talk" request from an editor who seems to be responsible for exceedingly negative changes to the St. John's University article -- a clear threat to any organization's posting if it's allowed to continue.

I copied his comments, which I'll paste here -- as you'll see, they seem to be extremely angry and biased against the University, claiming that the article had been "pasted" from brochures. The editor in question actually seems unable to realize that creating a prominent "scandal" section, to which he's added several items today, is itself a violation of neutrality. For example, in recent months, crimes have occurred at a number of Universities, and terrible things like the drinking-related death of a student at Rider. Yet no other university in Wikipedia seems plagued by someone obsessed with the notion of creating a blatantly bad image. Please look at the following item I've pasted from my talk section. (The editor's name seems to be . . . UTC?):

Is there someone out there who has appointed himself or herself the sole guardian of the St. John's article. If so, I may need to ask arbitration to take the piece down. Again, compare the current St. John's article -- with negative rankings and scandals -- to other University articles, like NYU, Fordham, etc. Everytime I tried to add the many positive items about St. John's -- its programs, students, positive press, etc. -- this editor seems to have immediately deleted the info.

Is there anyone at Wikipedia who is willing to assume responsibility for curtailing this negative force?
