I would not want to see them linked from within an article as a reference. I would be ok with having them linked from the ext links section. Better still though they would be ideal for Wikiversity links. Alan On 4/10/2012 12:47 p.m., phoebe ayers wrote:

Sure, an open course on statistics is a way to learn more about [[statistics]], but there are a million others ways, too: there are regular textbooks (often the best introduction), open-access textbooks (sometimes great), online tutorials, Wolfram MathWorld, YouTube lecture series, etc. Curating "more online resources about statistics" starts to seem more like a job for dmoz or Google, than for us. I do try to link *specific* parts of online course materials from more specific articles. For example, if an open course has a particularly good tutorial overview / explanation of / derivation of transformation matrices as used in 3d graphics, imo it'd be appropriate for [[transformation matrix]] to link it, because that becomes more focused.
