Advertising slant of article

I received a message on my talk page, asking why MIT, etc., were not reliable references, and why the article currently qualifies for an advertising tag. I answered:

"What the article could use is independent sources. The ones that are there appear to have been written by the Institute, or someone working with the Institute. Those are not unbiased, and in fact, can be relied on to give only the positive, official party line. I don't seriously doubt that the Institute is doing good things (in fact some of the projects look rather interesting to me), but this long article as it stands is completely one-sided, and mostly without footnotes. This kind of peacock language: "maintain from the very beginning internationally recognized high research level" or "understood excellence on a global scale" is boilerplate PR (WP:PEACOCK), and therefore constitutes advertising.
