Mysterious Removal of Videos

As the sole moderator at the Phantoms and Monsters Wiki, I get hit with questions about glitches. The latest question has to do with a link to a YouTube video titled "Spirit Orbs...." The member/user did not remove the video, nor a couple of others he posted about the same time. But when I was perusing the newsest videos in the gallery, and I opened his postings, it said quite plainly "removed by user".

The member is of the opinion that there was a copyright issue as to why the videos were removed, but the videos were all made by him! I think he should just go ahead and re-post the videos, and we both will be watching to see if someone deletes them again.
Do you find this valuable?

The message you are seeing is from Youtube. The user who uploaded the video to Youtube decided to remove the video from Youtube for whatever reason. The widget on the wiki for the Youtube video is still there, but Youtube no longer has that video. Go to Youtube to see if those videos are still there and functional.

When a video is deleted from the wiki video gallery, there is no message anywhere saying who or why.. It is simply deleted from the video gallery.
