Wiki-linking out of context or with tangential information
Hello TeachTeachTeach, Wiki-links should only be added in related articles in relevant context. Just mass-adding tangential commonplace statements in various articles to arbitrarily place such links is not a suitable method to connect articles or to popularize unrelated topics. All content in an article should be directly relevant for its primary topic, without tangential or off-topic information.

So the placement in Educational technology is probably fine (imo), as the mention of MOOCs directly adds some substantial detail to this topic itself and both topics are closely related with each other. Other mentions in largely unrelated articles such as Marketing or Curriculum vitae don't add such directly-relevant contextual information (in hindsight, I haven't explained this aspect of Wiki-linking very clearly in our previous discussion). Another important point: even if new information fits into an article topic-wise, it must be sourced by independent reliable sources nonetheless (see WP:V and WP:RS for more information) - ideally all content should be sourced and verifiable to independent reliable sources.

I hope this helps to clarify a possible misunderstanding from our previous discussion, but please feel free to ask if you have further questions. GermanJoe (talk) 19:30, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of MOOCs has been accepted
 List of MOOCs, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created. The article has been assessed as List-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article. You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer. Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia! Dan arndt (talk) 04:57, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Hello TeachTeachTeach, I have also moved the originally provided references into the new list, and made the necessary attributions per Splitting. That guideline is quite lengthy (and a bit bureaucratic imo), but I recommend to read it in case of further article splits. All re-uses of Wikipedia content need to be attributed in some way due to copyright reasons. Anyway, thank you for your constructive contribution - I hope you continue to edit in other similar areas in the future. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 11:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
