Revision as of 18:17, 12 September 2006 by Jack Delay (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)"Louisiana Baptist University is not accredited by any recognised accreditation body. As such, its degrees may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.". That is a pro-forma, used in all unaccredited universities. It is common to note in biographies where claimed doctorates are from unaccredited universisites. Where the places are known degree mills, we may call them such instead. Guy 09:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Where did this quote come from? This is awfully vague and for an encyclopedia, it would be wise to both be more specific and get to the truth of the matter. What does "may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions" mean? And are they or aren't they? It would seem to me that this statement would certainly fall under "weasel words". - JD
- It is an agreed form of words going back some way, designed to cover the many varieties of unaccredited school. It works well enough. You appear to be a single purpose account and as such you will find that tendentious editing of articles in which you have an apparent vested interest will lead to your being banned fomr those articles, or from the project as a whole.

You haven't answered my questions. Thanks for the attacks, though. Again, what does "may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions" mean? Can you give an example? If not, this REALLY looks like weasel words. - JD
