Wifione commented on this discussion. He redacted some comments there, a few hours later, with this edit on WP:No Original Research - he changed "trial" to "trial/litigation in any country" and "published by any involved party" to "published/authored by any involved party" and also changed Book Reviews from being considered a secondary source to being considered a primary source. Its interesting to note that the changes he made in policy relate somewhat to the discussion taking place on an article talk page where he was involved.
Also, the following statements:
"Please provide valid sources to support this statement. MSN is not a reliable source." - Wifione 06:26, 3 February 2012 (UTC) (this discussion)
The MSN article is actually an article by IANS (an independent News Agency), carried by MSN and others like Yahoo News.
A comment about the same Yahoo News article: ".. Yahoo link simply shows the opinion of Mr. Devi Singh from IIM Lucknow. That is a self-published statement which should not be used to make a definitive statement." - Wifione 19:02, 5 February 2012 (UTC) (Same discussion)
Im not commenting on the contents of the original email, the above definitely looks a bit out of order to me.

Unbelievable but Shocking !
I am not sure if Wikifone is same as Nichalp, ...
So far the evidence is not good.
but a look at the edit history of Wikifone, the editor has some serious interest to protect the interests of IIPM and its stakeholders.
He seems to even change policy pages to suit his cause http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ANo_original_research&a...
It looks like he re-arranged the policy a lot in that edit, but there arnt many changes.
"trial" became "trial/litigation in any country"
and he added "independent" a few times.

Wifione seems to be working on IIM and Amity ( Competitors to IIPM) articles as well, possibly trying to show them in bad light. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amity_University&action=histor...
Nevertheless , this has be investigated or possibly reported to Arb Com.
I've alerted Arbcom as a courtesy, however a community assessment is needed in order to determine if there is any credible link to nichalp or any reason for a desysop.
