[edit] Arguments in favour

Strong support.--m.jabalameli--Obviously distance learning plays a critic role in education now a days (especially by the down of the web 3 age) and as IT is in the initial steps of developing in Iran, I`m sure the sooner we run Persian Wikiversity the more advantages we could take.
Support. I think it would be a useful website. The Persian Wikipedia ,Wikiquote ,Wikibooks ,Wikisource and Wiktionary are doing a nice job with over its 58,000 users and improving day by day. I am sure that if such a Wikiversity opens, many people would be glad and they will be eager to contribute. Sajad 08:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Strong support-- Per Sajad there are tens of thousands of users on Persian wiki projects and growing so much everyday as well. More important there are a lot of users active on Persian wikipedia involving in different parts. I'm so active there and somewhat active in some other wiki projects and familiar with wiki software and now I want to concentrate more on fa.wikiversity project to make it begin sooner and support it more. Me and some of friends decided to begin a wiki project for talking about different university fields and maintaining some learning materials for them that I told them about wikiversity however it hasn't begun yet. We are planning to establish such site and I hope this project to begin sooner so we'll bring those contents here and avoid parallel works. Moreover I've decided and begun some works on fa.wikibooks.org personally which will be nice to transfer to fa.wikiversity when it'll begin.
- The sooner we begin the better. Because the later this project begins the later will grow and the later people will get familiar with this and now I think there are some experienced and active users and it can find its way and growing in its way.
- Some works in fa.wikibooks are actually useful for wikversity but because wikiversity doesn't exist for Persian, they are done there by some users ignorantly:( .
- About usefulness of the project. all people live in Iran and Afghanistan know Persian as the first or second language and Persian(called Tajik Farsi in Iran and Dari in Afghanistan) is the formal language in these countries and there are million of Persian speakers all over the word who know Persian as their first language. And also there are millions of people in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan who speak Persian(called Farsi before 1918 and Farsi Tajik between 1991 to 1999 in Tajikistan and now Tajik in Tajikistan) as the first langauge and there are comming translators for exact translation of these different forms of scripts used for writing them. So this project can be useful for more than 114 million people in the word.(sum up all people can speak any forms or dialects of Persian in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and other countries all over the word...)

Support: I`m stronglly supported this project and all the persian language project. all the reasons that soroush and sajad says are respected and supported with me. I hope after solving the fa.wiki great problems, we improve the Persian Wikiversity to the best point. we are persian and we can do anythings, if we want!! with the best wishes for jimbo,--Gordafarid 20:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- What some users assume as fa.wiki (surely fa.wikipedia) problems will never make any problem for fa.wikiversity and fa.wikiversity is a completely seprate project even some policies are different ... . And I appriciate Gordafarid's support here and his future works in fa.wikiversity regardless of fa.wikipedia. Fa.wikipedia's story is completely different.--Soroush83 07:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Support good idea, persian is a living language with millions of speakers. --Hojeraop 09:30, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Support. I create first educational article betawikiversity:آموزش تنظیم سیستم های دریافت ماهواره ای .what can I do now?--Hariva 17:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Either you can create a book in http://fa.wikibooks.org for it and if you want to consider it as a field, you can begin in the beta project. There they can be exported and then be imported to future fa.wikibooks.org. Dear Hariva, I appreciate you to add yourself to people who will support this project. You will surely manage to help this project very much. --Soroush83 18:25, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

I think when we live in a global village in the 3rd millennium; there isn't any need to part the academic word and societies in a lot of different parts. All of nations must learn internationally and must think globally but act domestically. So I think there isn't any need to limit the knowledge and write the red lines with the Language Insulators. The global society must try to integrate the knowledge in a unit format, languages and standard to be useful for all people. So if I find a useful article in strange language that I can't understand it, there isn't any appliance for me! But when we have wikiversity in the unit language all the nation can use it and its benefits.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.174.17.15 (talk • contribs) .

People shouldn't need to learn another language to learn sth so wikimedia projects like wikiversity is in different languages and as Persian might be strange to you it is mother tongue of millions of people and many other languages might look strange too them. It is right of people to learn and teach in their languages and main policies for different wikiversities must be in the way to make them as academic as possible. I don't find your reason acceptable for having these projects in different languages. --Soroush83 10:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I am strongly convinced that knowledge should be available to as many people and in as many languages as possible. Rosier-HR 20:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
