Hello, I'm NotAGenious. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Hassan Ayariga seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. NotAGenious (talk) 08:46, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Hassan Ayariga. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ProClasher97 ~ Have A Question? 09:14, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ok i will rewrite it in accordance with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy

is this tone acceptable { Ayariga spent his early years in Accra and Bawku, later relocating with his family to Nigeria following the overthrow of the Hilla Limann administration in 1981. He attended Ghana Senior High School in Tamale and later continued his secondary education at Barewa College in Zaria, Nigeria. He also pursued studies in accounting at the London School of Accountancy, although he did not complete a degree at that institution.

Ayariga later obtained a Doctorate degree from Atlantic International University (AIU), a distance-learning institution based in the United States. Atlantic International University is accredited by the Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC), a UK-based private accreditation body. ASIC is recognized in the United Kingdom as an independent accreditation agency and is a member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) International Quality Group.

AIU has attracted a number of students from Africa, and the university reports that its programs are followed by learners in countries such as Mali, Ivory Coast, Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In some cases, Ministries of Education in Central and West African countries have granted equivalency or recognition to degrees awarded by AIU, although such recognition may vary by jurisdiction and program.

Hello, I'm Nil NZ. I noticed that you recently removed content from Hassan Ayariga without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Dear Nil,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to respectfully bring to your attention that the information you previously shared regarding the institution from which Dr. Hassan Ayariga obtained his PhD appears to be outdated and inaccurate. As of today, degrees from Atlantic International University (AIU) are recognized in several African countries, particularly in Central and West Africa.

Labeling AIU as a "degree mill" is, therefore, a mischaracterization that could be considered defamatory and unsubstantiated. It is important that such claims be based on current and verifiable data.

I trust that Wikipedia aims to provide accurate, neutral, and well-sourced information, and I hope any future updates will reflect that standard accordingly. Scartoer (talk) 10:54, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

waiting for your reply Scartoer (talk) 10:55, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Scartoer, sorry it's just gone past midnight in my part of the world, so can only reply briefly for now.

The issue with your edit was that you deleted a number of citations, without replacing them with new ones. Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify claims in our articles – deleting those sources without adding alternatives means other editors can't verify your additions.

Happy to explain further in the morning if you did have any additional questions, or check out Welcome to Wikipedia in the meantime for useful tips and advice. Thanks, Nil🥝^Talk 12:43, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scartoer! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Hassan Ayariga several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Hassan Ayariga, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. slakr^\ talk / 15:59, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
