This is not about generalized education. This is about working on material for Wikiversity. We do not promote competitors. Why would you even think we should do that? You are not here for the best interests of Wikiversity if you are directing people to other websites to put their material elsewhere.
This is common sense and isn't debatable. Follow the rules.

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if there is a policy against mentioning external resources, no matter how relevant or good they may be, it should be rescinded.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.

@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?
