This is not about generalized education. This is about working on material
for Wikiversity. We do not promote competitors. Why would you even think we
should do that? You are not here for the best interests of Wikiversity if
you are directing people to other websites to put their material elsewhere.
This is common sense and isn't debatable. Follow the rules.

Agreed. The mention of PlanetMath, which is a good
resource, was
obviously meant to be a helpful response to a question asked by someone

Even if there is a policy against mentioning external resources, no matter
how relevant or good they may be, it should be rescinded. Such a policy
would place the organisation over its stated goal to further education.

Wikiversity?
@jeffery, mentioning Planet math here is advertising? Really? When did
that become advertising?
Hmmmm, still wondering. Its not as if the link is to Joe's personal
website or something. Its a website known by many. Joe is just bringing up
an issue and I believe its great considering the matter than banning the
matter saying its advertising.
"Not an advertising group"? Apart from the mailing list of Wikiversity,
where else can discussions of this sort be held?
I'm in this mailing list, Wikimania, Wikipedia, and other mailing lists.
Links are posted to references and stuffs like that. They're all Wikimedia
mailing list, but how come such links never get categorized as adverts but
are used in discussion?
Is this "not advertising group" idea applied to only Wikiversity?
