Fair point. Until this thread I never grokked wikiversity. I just read the "what we
are" page, though, and it looks pretty interesting, actually. And the right place for
this ethics project.

Wikiversity is not the place to try to change or

Wikimedia project. From what you describe, the Wikiversity project
seems to be opposed to some of the basic premises of Wikipedia.
Perhaps Wikiversity is being used because these ideas wouldn't gain
any currency on Wikipedia or Meta Wikimedia?
Or, maybe Wikiversity is being used because this is precisely the type
of community-based research and collaboration work that they
specialize in. Wikiversity isn't censored for the benefit of
Wikipedia, and their users aren't bound by the content or discussion
policies at Wikipedia or Meta. I suggest that people who aren't
familiar with Wikiversity should take this as an opportunity to head
over there and see what that project is all about. Because, until you
understand Wikiversity, you can't possibly understand projects like
this one.
