Talk:Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology

Advertisement

Someone probably should have commented before, but it certainly looks like an advertisement. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:15, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

This Diff between Arthur Rubin and Maurice Carbonaro changes performed on the 11th of July 2013 shows that probably comments about what this article looks like should be discussed. I.e.: does this article look like an advertisement or not? And if the answer is "Yes, it definitely looks like an advertisment"... then ... which parts should be changed or deleted? Or should the whole article be deleted? And so on... Comments are welcome. Please attempt to state clearly if you have any conflict of interests regarding this private school located in Skolkovo, Moscow Oblast or not. Thanks.   M aurice   Carbonaro  07:19, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I don’t think the article looks like an advertisement now. However, the section Centers for Research, Education and Innovation (CREI) looks like a copied news report and neither seems relevant nor satisfies encyclopedic writing standards. The problem is SkolTech is a new university, so it is not much to write about yet. I think more attention should be paid to the history of creation and declared goals (it was president Medvedev's initiative back in 2010). Unfortunately, the article in Russian Wikipedia is not informative enough as well. Semifinalist (talk) 15:18, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
