This copyvio has been removed by rolling back the history to the last clean version before it was inserted. That's had particularly serious fall-out in this case, as a major rewrite by ArtPhotoLover has been undone. Unfortunately that rewrite made use of the compromised content, such that the two could not be separated. I'm truly sorry about this. Even though this has been listed since 19 December last year, I plan to wait a couple of days before asking for the revisions containing the copyvio to be hidden from view, just in case anyone wants to work on restoring any clean text from the rewrite. But please do not restore any copyright violation! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Official webpage[edit]

Hello @Justlettersandnumbers: I just restored the paragraph "External links" with information on the webpage of the Estate of Erwin Blumenfeld that you had deleted saying "that can't be an "official" website – he died long before the internet was born." - When you look at the website, you will see that it obviously was not created by him, but by his descendants, who call it Erwin Blumenfeld's website. As it presents current information and photographs by Blumenfeld, I am confident that interested readers will find this worthwhile and should not have been deleted in the first place.
