I tried to repost the website on wikipedia, because the site is
brilliant!

I got this:
The following link has triggered a protection filter: http://www.zunzun.com
Either that exact link, or a portion of it (typically the root domain
name) is currently blocked.

Return to Curve fitting.

There is a single individual who has been deleting ONLY the link to
zunzun.com when it is added to the Wikipedia entry on curve fitting.
That person has deleted only this one link many, many times. Looks
like that individual has blacklisted the site from Wikipedia now.

See this Wikipedia link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#zunzun.com

where that person specifically requested blacklisting the site from
Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is dying anyway, see

"The research found that in the first three months of this year the
English-language version of the site suffered a net loss of 49,000
contributors, compared with a loss of about 4,900 during the same
period last year. Many experts believe that the trend could threaten
Wikipedia’s future."

and

"Some experts argued that the pioneering ethos of early Wikipedians
had faded. “They don’t feel the spirit of the first years,” Mr Ortega
said. “The articles are very tightly controlled by others now, and
that makes it hard to jump in and contribute.”
