[RCom-l] Nonsense articles on Wikiversity

[Yaroslav M. Blanter]

I am not sure this is within our scope, but since we have been discussing
cooperation with research community (I still hope to read the relevant
discussions this week and then write a proposal as agreed on the last Rcom
meeting), I wanted to share that I by chance have come across this at
Wikiversity

http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Lorentz-invariant_theory_of_gravitation

This is not my field, but this is just patent nonsense. This is written by
user Fedosin, and refers mainly to the papers of Sergey Fedosin. None of
them has been published in a refereed journal of any impact. He tried
previously to write this nonsense as encyclopaedic article in Russian
Wikipedia, and when I was still a sysop there, I supervised their deletion
as the result of DR. Now he apparently moved to English Wikiversity.

I believe that as long as these articles exist on our projects, we can not
really count on broad support of the research community.

Cheers
Yaroslav

PS. I did not undertake any action since I have no idea on the policies of
Wikiversity, and also I have heard bad things about this project, so that I
do not want to be blocked there without reason.
