Thanks for your cleanup work
Noticed! I see that you tagged for deletion a pile of redirects that were part of my Howard Community College fiasco, where I did not realize that a block move (page plus all subpages) would create a huge mess and could not be undone, since I'd left redirects in place, as this was an active resource and I wanted people to be able to see where their pages went! In any case, that all got cleaned up and there were a lot of redirects left. Congratulations, you now have 34 deleted contributions (all broken redirects.).

If something like this happens again, and you come across it, giving me a shout on my Talk page with a Special Prefix page link showing all those redirects would have been enough to remind me or let me know. You wouldn't have to tag them all. But that probably wasn't a lot of work, either.

In any case, thanks for helping out here, it's appreciated. --Abd 17:59, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

The Wikiversity learning curve begins
. The edit in question was made in good faith. Please be careful about assuming bad faith due to content that you may not understand. Those really are rubber band aircraft. This is Wikiversity, and the world is vast. We are not an encyclopedia! It can be disconcerting if you are used to strict inclusion standards at the 'pedias. "Education" is very broad. If someone wants to argue for a Flat earth, it might be quite useful here, placed in the right context. Finding that context is part of what I do, sometimes. I'd not allow Flat earth to be non-neutral, but there might be a page Flat earth/Arguments for a flat earth, because there have been many, and, in fact, some of that is quite notable, enough for Wikipedia articles. Studying those arguments -- and that subpage, on Wikiversity, can be non-neutral -- can help one learn a great deal, about the principles of navigation, etc., about how the ancients knew that the earth was round and about how large it was, etc. It can be fascinating stuff. Wikiversity can be deep.

The page you saw, the edit you reverted, is part of the Howard Community College family of pages, which are engineering projects. The IP may be a student in the course there (I haven't geolocated it) and simply forgot to log in. Such a new user might be quite disconcerted by a comment like yours. I'm commenting there to undo the damage. Don't worry, this is just part of your learning process. The attitude here is, properly, very welcoming, focused on showing people what they *can* do, rather than blaming them for "doing it wrong." Thanks for thinking about this. --Abd 18:42, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
