I noticed that there's a user who is making minor
changes, then adds a
template which links his website, claiming that the article uses
content from his website:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emotion_and_memory&diff=58912…
etc.
He also created some pages on his wiki, then he copy-pasted them to
wikipedia, while adding the same template.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selfcare_skills
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooding_(therapy)
etc.
Do we have a policy against this? I mean, everyone could claim that
his new articles were first published on his website and each such
page would have a spam link to a website. (links from Wikipedia are
very useful for increasing the Google PR)
Since the authoy is credited in our history there is no need for a
link to the external site how much you want to push this point is up
to you.
