Abd, you are one to talk. You were banned from en.wikipedia for pushing
fringe beliefs on Cold Fusion and it turns out that you are trying to
profit by selling your "information packages" to people.
Why do you people insist on using Wikiversity to profit? It is not your
personal play ground to use to recruit people to your outside groups.

Jeffrey Peters, since he mentioned Wikiversity
accounts, as an FYI to
others on this list, is well-known as WMF global account Ottava Rima,
banned on Wikipedia and not uncommonly blocked elsewhere for gratuitous and
tendentious incivility. His routine practice can readily be seen in this
thread.
There is no policy against mentioning useful web sites, that is handled
on-wiki on a case-by-case basis. If it's relevant, it is totally allowed
here, as well. COI is irrelevant, as long as there is no pretense.
Basically, one can ignore the claims of Peters as to rules. He frequently
makes them up. If you add a reasonable link on Wikiversity and someone
removes it, discuss the matter. I'm user Abd there, and not a sysop, but I
know some.

Also, as an FYI to others on the list - Steve Foerster founded a
competitor to Wikiversity and has an extreme conflict of interest in this
topic. Most likely, he doesn't even have a Wikiversity account.

Agreed. The mention of PlanetMath, which is a
good resource, was
obviously meant to be a helpful response to a question asked by someone
else.
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matter how relevant or good they may be, it should be rescinded.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.

Subject: Re: [Wikiversity-l] Are "solved problems" suitable for
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?
