Edit to The Art Institutes article

Hello, Athene. I noticed your recent edit to The Art Institutes article and I'd like to suggest an alternative. First though, let me explain my involvement with the subject: I am working with Education Management Corporation to update and improve a few articles (note: because of my financial COI, I am not making direct edits, but offering suggestions and drafts). I had very recently expanded this article prior to your change, and if you're interested, you can see the discussion I had with the editor who reviewed my suggested revisions and moved my drafts live on their Talk page here.

About your addition: having reviewed the source you've added, and being well acquainted with these legal proceedings from working on the Legal issues section of the EDMC article, I think that this update is really more appropriate for the main EDMC article. As noted in the first sentence of the source you added, the lawsuit is against EDMC. Also relevant: the available sources indicate Jason Sobek was not a recruiter for The Art Institutes.

I'm also very concerned about the specific wording you have used; I've noticed the original text of the news article is nearly identical to what you have added; I'm afraid this is a very serious issue per WP:PLAGIARISM and should be addressed very soon.

If you look at the EDMC article, you'll see that this lawsuit is already covered in detail in the second paragraph of the Financial aid and recruitment complaints section, although this update could be added there. Instead of the language you have added, I'd suggest adding the following sentence to the end of the second paragraph of the Financial aid and recruitment complaints section in the EDMC article:

In May 2013, EDMC's appeal to have the case dismissed was turned down.

Would you be agreeable to removing your original edit and making this change to the EDMC article?

As for the other addition you made to the History section about resignation of John Mazzoni, the edit looks appropriate. I did notice that "announced" and "effective" are misspelled, and "would". Would you be able to fix these typos and remove the extra space between the end of the sentence and the reference? Even though these are very simple housekeeping-type edits I would still prefer to not edit the article directly.

Let me know your thoughts on what I've suggested here. You can respond either on my Talk page or here, and I have both the Art Institutes and EDMC articles watchlisted, too. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 19:41, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Just saw the changes on both pages. All looks great, and thanks for the speedy response! WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:35, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi again Athene. Today an IP editor undid your most recent revision to The Art Institutes, so once again the paragraph about the May 2013 ruling in the EDMC lawsuit is in the article. (You can see it here.) Would you be willing to revert this most recent IP edit, or does that follow BRD? Their edit summary is merely "Important info" but it doesn't begin to address the reasons we changed it last week. Let me know what you think, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 21:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Just saw your revert, and thank you. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. If it does, I'll probably look for another editor to help; I don't want this all to be on you. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:15, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I undid the change because I didn't think it was proper for an edmc employee to dictate what can or can't appear on their page. Why the censorship of the legal issue? Are you an employee too?
