Import to Wikimedia projects

I made a proposal to import these books to Wikimedia projects. Read more at meta:Grants:IdeaLab/Import and adapt open textbooks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:52, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Why were the links to Wikiversity removed?

I have reinserted links to pdf files on Wikiversity to some of these books. Was there a reason for removing them?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 02:04, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

It has been called to my attention that these links are not allowed. I will revert my own work till this is sorted out.Guy vandegrift (talk) 16:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

I just added a link to University Physics--I can't see a good reason why anyone would remove it. There ought to be a good reason to remove links on a page about an online, open access website.Gio, James and Shaun (talk) 22:23, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Suggestion for a slight change to the wording

As of the last time I checked, the last sentence of [the first paragraph of] the lede said [QUOTE:]

However, announced in October 2022 that Tutor was being discontinued.

which ... ["technically"] ... is missing something. It is missing a word or two, in between the first two words,

• "However,"

and

• "announced",

at the beginning of that sentence.

Personally, I think I can still figure out what that sentence is intended to say; so, the reason to edit that sentence is not because it is preventing ... being able to figure out what that sentence means.

However, grammatically, that sentence would be more correct if we were to supply something

(I would be fine with either "it was" <--[passive voice] or [active voice]--> "OpenStax")

in between the first two words of that sentence.
(Right after "However," and just before "announced".)

Not a big deal. Thanks for listening. Mike Schwartz (talk) 07:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Ideas for *categories* [etc.] for the "OpenStax"article

I may be unfamiliar with ... some of the rules (if any) that relate to this, and/or some of the "reasons" why a certain article -- such as this one (the article about "OpenStax") -- might be appropriate to be included in a certain category, OR ... might NOT be allowed to be included in a certain category.

That being said, here are some questions:

• [Q1] : Would it be OK -- (and, would it be appropriate) -- for this article ("OpenStax") to be included in [the category] "OpenCourseWare" -- ? --

• [Q2] : Would it be a good idea [and, would it be appropriate] for it (the article about "OpenStax") to be included in [the category] "Freedom of expression organizations" -- ? --

• [Q3] : Would it be appropriate for this (the article about "OpenStax") to be mentioned (or "listed") in the article about "OpenCourseWare"? [probably in the "Americas" section ... (right?)] (and perhaps in the "United States" subsection thereof).
