To my great astonishment I just received a warning for providing links to a book and a peer-reviewed paper by Einstein, one put online by Bartelby.com and the other by Wikisource.org.
The first is a link to his 1916 book explaining Relativity in easy to understand language, while the second is a link to the text of his foundational paper on GRT, also of 1916.
Usually I provide a link to a pdf version of the paper, but it's a very sizable download; a text version appeared therefore more appropriate to me.
The warning was:
"General Warning
Unless you have a valid, peer-reviewed source, please do not cite something off a webpage."
Can anyone here explain to me why I should get an official warning for providing links to such quality papers? I'm flabbergasted.
