 :Any links to bmwdean.com are bound to be violations of WP:COPYLINK. You're hosting a copyrighted material without permission on almost every page. The way to link to a patent is with , or , i.e.  {{Cite patent |country= GB |number= 693646 |title= Motor cycle front wheel forks |inventor= Ernest Richard George Earles  }}... .  Whether you can provide a convenience link to the full text of the patent or not is not critical to the citation. Convenience links are nice, but anyone who wishes to verify the citation is going to be capable of tracking it down using the patent number, name, inventor, etc. If they don't know how, the reference desk can tell them how. URLs directly to your sources are not a critical part verifiability.
