Misplaced Pages policy on linking to copyrighted works

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking_to_copyrighted_works

Linking to copyrighted works

External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on us. If the site in question is making fair use of the material, linking is fine.

Articles regarding ongoing enterprises

2) The principles of editing articles about ongoing enterprises are analogous to those which govern Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons. As applied to this matter, unsourced or poorly sourced negative material may be removed without discussion, such removal being an exception to the 3 revert rule Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons#Remove_unsourced_criticism. This extension of policy is based on the proposition that any unsourced or poorly sourced negative material is potentially harmful.

Notices of WP:AN/3RR

Voyage Au Pays Des Nouveaux Gourous

I am filling a WP:AN/3RR about this page Voyage Au Pays Des Nouveaux Gourous. If you have any further questions or statements please DO NOT leave them on my talk page. Please place them here on the Talk:Voyage Au Pays Des Nouveaux Gourous page. Smeelgova 23:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC).

Why don't you close the 3RR case?

I think you are well aware that 4 of the 6 cited examples are direct links to "France 3"'s material and the other two (2) are instructions on how to get the illegally distributed copyrighted material? Can you just close this case? If not, I will bring it up to the copyright people.

• You were specifically told above NOT to comment about this issue on my talk page. I think it is best for all involved if you never comment on my talk page again, as it seems from my perspective that you cannot behave with civility and a kind demeanor towards me. Thank you.
