I've gone through and cleaned up the dozens of links to the site, roughly equal numbers of surplus external links (no need for more than one, per WP:ELOFFICIAL), links to download pages for assets (purely promotional and no need at all) and references (lots of secondary sources, no need for so many primary ones), and tidied up a bit around them removing some of the more obvious examples of promotional text. The text that's left could still do with editing for style and neutrality.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds22:21, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK; Some, but not all-- as you will read next-- are much appreciated improvements. The links are not at all "purely promotional" as stated above in the previous comment, but they were operational ones, in the sense that those links were to differentPlanetPhysics.org websites and web servers that have very different software capabilities than the Noospheres 1.0 and 1.5--complementary to NS 1.0 and 1.5-- which allow users to create and print books with MediWiki 1.17-- already explained in the main article, as well as the use of MathTex, or allow any user to produce wiki-style articles about Physicswithout anyone erasing such articles by any other censoring user with unfounded excuses, or misguided 'improvements'. Such MediaWiki websites for Physics, including book printing capabilities-- are also including very important PDF embedding of Physics large articles through uploads to any user's entries--
--that are not currently available elsewhere on the web, including Wikipedia and many related websites (Wikibooks, ...). Therefore, such linked websites provide very useful resources to both laymen and Physics (or Mathematics) researchers, that are similar to the ones available at arXiv, minus the long delays and very selective moderation of the latter, plus the 'instant' embedding of large PDF files into users' entries, but at present without the classification into sections which is very useful at arXiv websites Bci2 (talk) 19:27, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You should read the external links policy, WP:EL. In particular a link to the official web site of an organisation can be added, but usually only one. Readers can use that link to visit the site and explore it. If they find this difficult because the other site is badly organised then this should be taken up at that site: it is not for Wikipedia to index or catalog the contents of the other site.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds20:09, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The above comment appears quite confusing and inapplicable to the situation here-- "If they find this difficult because the other site is badly organised then this should be taken up at that site..." There is "nothing badly organized" at these websites, and there is "no indexing" of the sites even suggested on Wikipedia. Thus, this a pseudo-problem. Moreover, there is only one external link to the official website in the article. Bci2 (talk) 03:03, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. The main site is dead, the alternative links that have been added are dead/don't work, and anyway it’s unclear which if any of them is meant to be the continuation of it, or whether it's numerous efforts to get it going again. A search turns up this as the first non-Greek/non-WP entry: [1] but it just seems to contain links to the non-working sites.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds01:43, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have just added archive links to one external link on PlanetPhysics. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
