[Wikiversity-l] New book: Wikiworld - Political Economy and the Promise of Participatory Media

[James Neill]

as i kind of suspected, license is dodgy, and it sounds like it doesn't 
belong on wikibooks


    Wikiworld <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiworld>

I've nominated 
<http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiworld&diff=1142617&oldid=1142586> 
this for speedy deletion for two reasons.

   1. The licensing is questionable; we'd need specific permission
      information forwarded to OTRS
      <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OTRS> to accept this work
   2. As a previously-published work, it belongs at Wikisource
      <http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/> anyways

I didn't delete it outright because I wanted to give you a chance to 
keep a copy of the wikitext if you wanted to put it over at Wikisource 
(don't forget to clarify the licensing!).
