You don't need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! Jtneill - Talk - c 06:42, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Wireless Weather Stations and acceptable backlinking
The purpose of this page appeared to be advertising, hence it has been deleted. You are welcome to contribute educational material. Sincerely, James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:42, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It really depends on what you want to write about to know which wiki your content may be most appropriate for - e.g., Wikipedia doesn't currently have an article about Wireless weather stations, but such an article would need to encyclopedic (not in first person, for example) and use primary sources. Here at Wikiversity, the mission is to provide educational material e.g., you could share what you've learnt about how to monitor weather conditions, or explain to others how to monitor weather observations. But there is no reciprocal link program and it is highly unlikely that if the primary motivation is link exchange, that it would be worth your time and effort creating and posting content for Wikiversity. In that case, you might try a wiki like Wikia instead. Does that help? Sincerely, -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:03, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I am going to undelete the page, but right now the link to your site isn't quite solid, so I'll remove that for now. The site itself seems to be a bit spammy, i.e., afflicted with very visible spam. Nevertheless, you may link to the site on your user page, as your personal web site. Let me encourage you to develop Wireless weather stations (our tradition is to use sentence case) as an educational resource. Certain kinds of specific and helpful links may be allowed. Since you have a conflict of interest, ask me or the community before adding links to your personal site, other than putting a simple link on your user page. --Abd 15:42, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * In undeleting the file, I moved it to the new name and did some copy editing. It's still written in first person, which may not be the best for an educational resource, that page might be developed to be more general and less personal, with, perhaps, a personal testimony or experience as a subpage. Ask me! Thanks for contributing to Wikiversity. --Abd 15:50, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
