When I encounter a book at Wikibooks, such as
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Errata, I do not know if it is linked from
Wikipedia. The Special:Whatlinkshere pages do not show links from other
wikis. It is not easy to manually search Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikiquote,
Wiktionary, ... for links to particular books at Wikibooks, so I normally
do not do this.
Uh Oh! This has critical policy implications. Perhaps that no good
nick has set us up for a See? when we whine at a "Jimmy says" decree
regarding stealthy
en.wikiversity.org wiki creation. Perhaps I shall
suspend my aggressive presention of certain verifiable facts until I can
consult Erik, who if I recall correctly, was probably the developer who
setup
de.wikiversity.org.
Maybe I will call think. As German speaking canuk with some old
computers, professional engagement in medical informatics, a math
degree and an artists flair for resolving firmware conflicts .... forget
it. He is obviously GWs inside informant who down the Airport

Ah well, what the hell. That play was long ago. I will call him soon
and find out for sure whether is a real German Wikiversity or if it is
just a spoofer link.
Back to mission critical business. This would be an ugly ugly impact if
developing texts for developing course were deleted in middle of long
term asynchronous courses. It could potentially destabilize the course
and make it appear of no interest when in fact it is of no use and
current users declined to start over from zero after deletion day had
arrived. This of course impact any free space technology research in
progress who assisted with setting up the course to leverage scarce
funded experienced handson expertise at NASA in response to that known
ALLEGED WAR CRIMINAL's propensity for apparent underfunding of NATO's
super cosmic no alternative alien access allowed mission critical
technology.
Perhaps this is related to plausible deniability. No money, no Mars
landing, Virgina. Honestly! Despite widely available miltitary grade
trainers such as Battle Zone we honestly never engage in any secret war
on Mars or the Moon.
We could call this circular saw advertising to attract the lotto crowd
at the Mill Casino in Coos Bay Oregon. Watch out for the loggers. They
tend to count on their fingers and thus can be hard to 3F (flim flam
fandago) for the mango juice.
