  • Little Red Corvette (history · last edit) and other Prince song articles. This is a more general request regarding the inclusion of links to sites that post lyrics without permission (specifically dtt-lyrics.com). According to Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking to copyrighted works, linking to such sites is not allowed because of the possibility of "contributory infringement". User:MistaTee has been reverting removals of these lyric links from many Prince song articles without explanation, even after the aforementioned policy was pointed out. Please review whether these actions are in line with Wikipedia policy. I have personally removed the link from Little Red Corvette twice after MistaTee reverted its removal by User:LuciferMorgan. I glanced at MistaTee's contribution and saw about a dozen reverts that were adding back links to dtt-lyrics.com. Special:Linksearch currently shows 147 articles linking to dtt-lyrics.com. Thanks.

    • I just noticed these comments by User:MistaTee. It looks like this user runs dtt-lyrics.com, meaning that he is also the primary infringer... These reverts are an attempt to preserve links to his site from Wikipedia. Mike Dillon 16:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
