When adding links to material on external sites, 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, 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. ''All your edits have been reverted and many, if not all, your Commons contributions are tagged as copyright violations. You seem to have simply copied images off the internetz and uploaded them as your own work. That's blockable on Commons, and linking to those copyvios is blockable here. Please read the relevant policies: just because something is on the internet doesn't mean you can simply copy it. Thank you.'' Drmies (talk) 18:10, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
