Invalid Claims Awwerl (talk) 11:08, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

I think this proposal contain invalid claims that needs to be highlighed. First, the claim that in an educational institution of higher learning, lecturers do not believe with the information sourced in Wikipedia is highly fallacious. Secondly, the saying that no Wikipedia activities take place in the said institution and or the environment is also not true. I participated in the the similar event that happen in that institution and I know there is so many people who are from that college and they are continue editing Wikipedia.
