Handling citations with broken URLs

Hello, Mrsedashwoodferrars. I noticed that, at Symphyla, you replaced some citations because their URLs no longer worked (1, 2, 3). I restored the original citations (4, 5, 6), using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and the citation templates' Web archive parameters. Advice on the problem of citations with broken URLs is available at WP:DEADREF (with which I wasn't familiar myself, so don't worry if you weren't). Although I've not used it myself, I understand that we have an Internet Archive Bot (WP:IAB) that can be told to find and to fix (if possible) all such broken citations in a page; according to the bot's page,

You can use this bot yourself by viewing the revision history of any page, and clicking on the "Fix dead links" link in the "External tools" section at the top of the page.

Hope this helps, —2d37 (talk) 02:57, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Attempting to use newworldencyclopedia as a source

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:37, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this heads up. I'm learning! The page on Death Valley that I was editing (it was on the list of citations needed) seems to be drawing heavily verbatim from the New World Encyclopedia. Not sure what to do in that case. Finding it hard to locate reliable alternatives for the "citations needed." Should I just skip? Mrsedashwoodferrars (talk) 01:06, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The New World Encyclopedia "selects and claims to rewrite certain Wikipedia articles through a focus on Unification Church values." Wikipedia didn't draw heavily from NWE; NWE is essentially a copy of Wikipedia edited by it's owner, a church. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:11, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
