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.

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&…
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.

secondary source for that interpretation."

Articles may make analytic or evaluative claims only if these have
been published by a reliable secondary source."

Wifione seems to be working on IIM and Amity (
Competitors to IIPM) articles
as well, possibly trying to show them in bad light.

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.
