Comments

I've been watching this article for about 7 years now. The quality hasn't really gone up in that time. Instead it has improved on occasion, then been vandalised, repaired (though not as well as before), and edited again and again by people who don't really get how wikipedia works (i.e. unaware of NPOV, no original research, etc. policies).

If you are a wikipedian, here's a brief explanation of why this happens. AIESEC is a charity network that runs a lot of different programmes on very little money largely through time volunteered by university students. The number of students that join up every year around the world to do this is in the magnitude of 20'000. The number of media reports, books, articles, or academic research on AIESEC on the other hand is probably on the order of hundreds every year (media reports, in local media mainly). So the number of people that know about AIESEC first hand, far exceeds the number of people that have more distant accounts of AIESEC. Thus, this article mainly gets edited by AIESEC members, who think that wikipedia would be a great page for recruiting more members, or helping new members find out more about the network. If you are a serious wikipedian (I'm more of a hobbyist, I don't check in regularly), you could help by keep this article on your watch-list and making small improvements here and there when it's easy, and otherwise just prevent other people from making it worse.

If you are an AIESECer, please read the following before editing the page: This is Wikipedia, an encyclopedia, not a web portal. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise AIESEC, nor to help members find information (seriously, go use myaiesec.net, the intranet purpose-built to provide members with information). If you want to help, please edit the article to remove things that are not interesting to the general public (like where regional conferences are), and add information from reliable third party sources (use google news to find media reports about AIESEC). You should never use an official AIESEC page as a source, so please don't do that.

If you are a disgruntled former AIESEC member, or someone who lost friends to AIESEC (yeah it happens), this is not the place to complain. It just won't do you any good. If you have a serious complaint, take it up with your university, or other authority. Otherwise, chill out, and find something worthwhile to spend your energy on. There are much greater evils in the world than some mis-guided young people.
