You do not 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! --Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:14, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Mohr's circle
The link you are trying to add to Mohr's circle appears to be valid. The description you are adding with it, particularly with FREE in all caps is likely triggering software that monitors external links. I recommend trying again without FREE in the description. It doesn't add any academic value. If that still gets reverted, try leaving a message on Tegel's user page. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:19, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * See my comment on the blanking steward's talk page.. Pauloz, the addition of web site links cross-wiki (on more than one wiki) can be considered "spam," and spammers will often say that "this is not spam." That doesn't help, then.


 * Those who protect the wikis from spam do not decide usefulness, I have seen users locked globally and even very legitimate, established, nonprofit web sites spam-blacklisted for adding completely legitimate links, because they were added at a high rate and without demonstrated consensus. A user who has few or no other edits, and an IP user, they will assume is a spammer.


 * So some advice: we will allow this link unless someone complains about it specifically. It looks useful, on the face. However, do not add links to this site elsewhere (especially on other wikis) without being an established user. You could end up getting the site globally blacklisted, in which case we would need to take special action to allow the link here. And it will become very difficult for anyone to add links to the site. I presume you would not like that. Neither would I! So please be considerate of the antispam volunteers. Do not make their job more complicated.


 * If you need help, ask me on my Talk page and I will advise you about how to link on other wikis, if that is what you want to do. I will also be watching this page. Good luck, and thank you for whatever you do to improve Wikiversity. We are not only about "educational resources," we are also about "learning by doing," and so educating you about how to participate in the wikis without problems is part of our mission, if you want that. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 16:30, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank You Abd for being very understanding in this matter! Finally someone acting with some rationality. I appreciate your words very much and will take them into consideration. I'm not adding a ridiculous number of external links (I think there's only been 2 on wikiversity and 4 on wikipedia in the space of about a year). They are helpful links as I am an engineer myself and recommend them to those who need that sort of software (at no monetary cost). Users and readers will benefit from using the links way more than any gain I will receive! -- Pauloz1890 1:51, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
