When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Danny!, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

• If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
• If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead.

Absurd and overzealous editing. Wikipedia: "An example would be linking to a site hosting the lyrics of many popular songs without permission from their copyright holders", yet multiple sources referencing the subject's personal website were removed. All referenced material clearly links to copyrighted works of the subject. Not sure what triggered this bot-like reverting but guidelines are certainly being followed per the copyright guidelines linked above and WP:BLPSELFPUB. Please don't quit this, your day job. 2601:C6:8480:11:8099:3893:E66B:EACC (talk) 21:20, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
