This news article is more misleading than the advertisement by school in question. It seeks to create an impression of some kind of legal sanction against Wikipadea. Am I missing something? At the end of the day it is privilege of a website to decide who keeps an admin and editing privileges. So what is the issue here? As for some people duped by the said business school, how is that fault of wikipadea? If the said school had a giant billboard next to a road, should the state,or pad, or nhai be responsible for what is written on the bill board. God save india from these misguided activists and diabolical legal heads like Sarabjit, and the people who write laws that even give some credence to the filings by Sarabjit, and allow strained legal system to be further strained. I do not see what is so difficult to understand in the idea that you cannot legislate intelligence nor you can protect an idiot no matter how you regulate. Crooks will find ways to dupe fools. It is in best interest of idiots to acquire some intellegence and learn from there own mistakes and from those of others.

In my complaint I have asked for "Wifione" to be unmasked and prosecuted for ruining the lives of thousands of Indian students. My action was preceded by 2 years of dialog by our side with fellow Wikipedians / WMF and a 3 month action in Switzerland brought by WMF against me which then gave me a cause of action to file the IT case in India. In our instances, we were subjected to illegal demands and financial threats since 2013 and my dialog with Wikimedia Foundation's legal counsel repeatedly ran into a brick wall of solid indifference and evasions to protect their anonymous admins. It was only thanks to a proactive Indian board member that things started moving and 5 old time Wikimedia Admins were eventually "globally banned" in December 2014 as a result of coordinated efforts between veteran members of the WIKIMEDIA community who had seceded in 2008 from the WMF's "projects" after realizing what d****b*gs they were.
