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 Operations efforts with the buglock conspiracy.
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.
