There are no site on internet which provide this type of information. We already made well written content like Principals of Management and Aerospace Engineering etc. Where the content is much better than English Wikiversity. Because where we describe whats do student after 10+2. You can verify it with third party source. The partialy failure of Eng Wikiversity is that because the many sites host learning content in english. But Hindi Wikiversity will be the only place where native get free knowledge in thier language. I am not say you believe me. You can confirm it with third party.With the respect of time. Hindi Wikiversity will be milestone. ThanksOn 19-Jul-2017 10:20 am, "Gerard Meijssen" <gerard.meijssen@gmail.com> wrote:Hoi,People want us to consider the deletion of projects... not happy about it. The consequence for me is that we also look at Wikiversity as a project. Is it viable, is it used. What experiences exist with English Wikipedia ?Thanks,GerardMOn 19 July 2017 at 03:35, MF-Warburg <mfwarburg@googlemail.com> wrote:StevenJ81 informed me that most of the pages are only in <https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Category:%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5% >88%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%8D% E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95_HI , for whatever reason (>400). So I looked at them as well. With this "full picture", it looks much better. Not stellar, but well... the project is active and continues to be edited (and, I guess, improved).Now my opinion is that we should carry on with the approval.2017-07-19 1:21 GMT+02:00 MF-Warburg <mfwarburg@googlemail.com>:I have now looked through the Hindi pages on Beta.wikiversity myself. At first I just wanted to look at a random sample of pages, but then I noticed that there are only "69 pages (including categories, templates, talk pages, and redirects)" (cf. catanalysis). I don't know if this number was higher previously.However, that is IMHO way too little for a wiki to be approved. I also don't see any pages that look like courses, which after all, is what Wikiversity is for.Therefore I agree with the starting point of this thread, that Hindi Wikiversity should not be created, and the approval taken back.2017-07-19 1:09 GMT+02:00 MF-Warburg <mfwarburg@googlemail.com>:Yes, agreed. Though the question here is different, it is about whether the test-project as it currently is is in a state that is appropriate for approval.2017-07-18 12:51 GMT+02:00 Jon Harald Søby <jhsoby@gmail.com>:(Late reply, sorry.)While I may have doubts about the merits of Wikiversity myself, I don't think it's within the scope of the Language Committee to deny the creation of projects based on those merits. We should only focus on whether the community for the relevant language edition of a project is healthy enough for it to become a separate project, without consideration for the individual committee members' feelings about the project as a whole.2017-07-04 18:12 GMT+02:00 Gerard Meijssen <gerard.meijssen@gmail.com>:Hoi,Yes, that is the politically correct answer. The question asked by several is what is Wikiversity good for. Is it actually used?Thanks,GerardMOn 4 July 2017 at 18:06, Satdeep Gill <satdeepgill@gmail.com> wrote:I do think that the community will improve content as the time progresses.

Nevertheless, from seeing at least [the lack of effort to evenlocalize the comments in the code samples], and perhaps from seeing thelack of something more substantial in the way of content revolvingaroundthose code samples, and perhaps more so from Jayprakash12345 being theonlyconsistent contributor going back at least a month, I must thus agreewithhis assessment that opening hiwikiversity would be a disaster. Mypersonalopinion is that other Hindi projects (such as hiwikisource andhiwikiquote)could be populated more easily and meaningfully at this point, but Iwoulddigress to elaborate on that and the whole process of site requestsmoregenerally here.(Edits since the original comment was made: It appears judging fromhttps://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Special: RecentChangesLinked/Category: HIthat 1) the subcategory "Artificial intelligence" has been deleted and2)the part in [brackets] above is being addressed slowly.)On Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 1:23 PM, Justin Anthony Knapp<justinkoavf@gmail.comwrote:Via Phabricator (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168765#3376166 ): Is this really ready?
