 * As a follow up, since other users - apparently colleagues of you - were very offended by me here. I consider it disrespectful to "blank" an entire section like this (it also violates some Wikipedia policies), in particular when the author seems to have what is called a WP:Conflict of interest. My refusal to accept the section blanking is solely because of this. I don't judge the quality (I don't know much about educational data mining); in fact I also added the "needs cleanup" marker to this section (and a "very long" marker now, too, since the section is overweight).
 * The article isn't in a good shape, it was not either before I moved this "large chunk" of text from another page there. It needs a lot of work, and people will surely welcome if you improve on the article.
 * But consider that you wrote this amount of text. You wouldn't want others to just delete it entirely. If however someone comes along, removes redundancy and integrates in a nice overall article? This is the kind of contribution that is most welcome in Wikipedia. You are very welcome to change, reorganize, summarize and enhance things. Reverting changes is mostly a measure appropriate for vandalism or operating errors. Thank you. --Chire (talk) 07:33, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
