Welcome to Yunshui's talk page.
I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply. If you reply to me elsewhere, please If you are here because of a page that I deleted, please take a moment to read this page first. I prefer to keep communications on-wiki if possible, but if you need to discuss something privately, please send me an email. |

- Hm. I'd like to help, but I worry that sticking my oar in at this point might just muddy the waters further. For what's it's worth, my view tends to align with Francis' position to a degree, in that I don't think previous acceptance of a source for one article should necessarily lead to the conclusion that the source is acceptable generally - we tend not to set precedents on Wikipedia in this way. The suggestion that it go to RSN isn't a bad one; it might be the best way to clear up the issue once and for all. There do seem to be a number of copyright violations in the source (downloadable liner notes and images of album covers), and WP:ELNEVER#1 is pretty clear: material that violates the copyrights of others per contributors' rights and obligations should not be linked, whether in an external-links section or in a citation. WP:COPYLINK is equally explicit: if you know or reasonably suspect that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work ... Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States. That this has been missed or disregarded in previous FA/GA/DYK discussions doesn't change the policy. My recommendation would be to take it to RSN - if it's accepted there, that does set a precedent for the future that you can refer to, and if it isn't, you'll know for certain and can start looking for a replacement source.
