Ha ha, written by a CDI worker no doubt.
I'd love to see some disgruntled ex cdi employees getting irate on the discussion page and arguing with the guy who wrote the wiki article...  |

I especially like that the line is, actually:
Quote: |
Money sucking operation that treats it's foreign teachers like second class citizens. |
It's kind of hilarious that the oh-so-qualified English teacher who (presumably) wrote that made three grammatical errors in one 12-word sentence. |

. . . and that is, of course, ignoring that the line is itself a sentence fragment. Good grief. |

I don't see where it says that. Was it removed? |

this quote is choice.

CDI is also one of the most reviled institutes in South Korea. CDI regularly rips off teachers and forces them to live in sub-standard housing as well as breaking several immigration rules. don't work at CDI unless you want to be an English prostitute. |

looks like mithridates (someone with more wiki experience) marked it as possibly not worthy of notability. cheers to that, i'd have to agree. i mentioned the same on the "discussion" page. i mean, come on, relatively minor korean businesses on english wikipedia? what's next, pages for kimbap chungook and ediya coffee? wonderland?

Yeah, I don't get the point of that page. It would be interesting to have some corporate information, I guess---where are the headquarters, how long has it been in operation, how many branches, etc. But beyond that the only things people care about re: CDI are the non-POV things that'll get deleted.
I think it says somewhere that Wikipedia is not a Yellow Pages, so unless there is some interesting corporate info, I say delete it.
I was going to type in "CDI is also the answer to the question, 'First the World Trade Center, then what?'" but I chickened out. |

Maybe we could do a write-up of Wonderland for Wikipedia. |
