Request

Hi, I’m trying to find my help to a forum to apologise for editing mistakes. Thanks for help. Ema--or (talk) 17:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No more footnotes with no link and when link go inactive auto-delete claims.

This is existential and needs to be fixed ASAP. And to be clear this is not solely an issue of link rot, though it largely is, it's fundamental to the legitimacy of the project, handwaving notwithstanding 🙏 Iluvlawyering (talk) 02:51, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is especially problematic re:philosophy/history/religion but exists in all entries, mathematics, physical and social sciences, individual biographies, definitions and concepts, etc. The central premise of the entire project is impartiality and transparency, not expediency, so just as there's no justification for claims made without support, whatever the authority, there's no reason that references to purported support not be strictly limited by salience/availability. No one I know has a library card or any other way to access the recorded thoughts of other human beings than via remote access to electronically stored information. No?

Is this serious? 0xDeadbeef 06:36, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks more like an attempt to stir up controversy. —Kusma (talk) 15:08, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Much as I dislike ad hominem arguments, the clue may be in the account name. On a practical note, most internet sources which go offline are available on archive sites. Certes (talk) 17:58, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
