Some proposed changes

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be added or removed:

First line Murdoch University Dubai is a leading educational institution, situated at the heart of the Dubai International Academic City, Dubai, UAE. This Dubai campus was founded in 2008 by Zafar Siddiqi and Rakesh Wahi and is a core branch of Murdoch University, which was founded, and is still based, in Perth, Australia.

Histroy and founding section Murdoch Dubai launched in 2008 by a partner company, Global Institute Middle East and became one of the main branches of Murdoch University. In 2018, Murdoch Dubai announced a partnership with worldwide education services provider Navitas Limited (ASX:NVT). Navitas will provide operational assistance to the campus from January 2019, continuing until December 2033.

Explanation of issue: Murdoch University was founded by Rakesh Wahi and Zafar Siddiqi, when their company, Global Institute Middle East (later renamed to Transational Academic Group) opened the campus in Dubai in 2008. In 2018, Nivatas took over the partnership. The origial founding history is missing and I propose the changes above to reflect this.

Spintendo, you could not have known, but this is block evasion by User:ZaMediaGuy. I intend to undo the edit(s) you've made at his request, I hope that meets with your approval? There's at least one other page where he's done the same, I'm afraid. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:22, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There, not here, I mean! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:26, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But no, looked at it again, thought better of it – will remove self-sources instead. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:34, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Justlettersandnumbers I'm always happy with whatever changes you make JLAN.

But just to clarify, none of the changes I made were at the request of the IP editor. What they wanted (shown in the request above) couldn't be verified. The deletions I made were all my own. Warm regards, Spintendo 00:57, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The TECOM Group link, it is a directory of companies listed within TEACOM clusters (The Dubai International Academic City) being one of them. Murdoch is mentioned in the listing:
"Prior to this TAG also operated as an Academic Infrastructure Provider (AIP) for Murdoch University Dubai". 41.193.164.148 (talk) 05:57, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
