fixing dead links instead of removing? edit

Latest comment: 1 month ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hey, Jtr, and welcome! When you made this edit, did you try fixing the dead links first? If you open the edit history on an article, you'll see a link near the top of the history that says 'fix dead links' which lets you check to see if they can be replaced instead of removed.

Thanks for letting me know about this function, however there was only 1 link which is need to updated and i did that Jerrytherat (talk) 12:11, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Jtr! There's more information at WP:DEADLINK. In general, if you can't fix it and you can't find a replacement, it's often better to leave it in place if it looks like it provides information -- name, date, title, publication -- so that other editors who come along after you might be able to find it somewhere.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Diamond ICQ (May 27) edit

Latest comment: 2 days ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Kline was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Diamond ICQ and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
