[P2P-F] connectivism page deleted/censored from Wikipedia

[Michel Bauwens]

ok, I misunderstood, I thought the page had been deleted, in that case, I
don't mind strong opinions, but I would mind censoring a page that reflects
developing theoretical work around peer learning theories

there is a proper way to integrate the critiques, even disclaimers that it
is a theory, that does not involve depriving wikipedia users of that
valuable information,

Michel
