Semi-protected edit request on 7 June 2017

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Bill Clinton. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. We prefer HTTPS. Your change reverts to HTTP, so you're going to need consensus. Izno (talk) 03:03, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done and not likely to be done Wall Street Journal articles are behind a paywall. The non-secure versions of these links provide at most a one paragraph lede to the reader, which is not going to help a reader with verification of the claims any better than the version behind the secure link. Wikimedia uses https and links with https are preferred. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:05, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They're currently DEAD LINKS that REDIRECT to LOG IN PAGES! Just HURRY UP and CHANGE them back! 109.26.26.170 (talk) 18:09, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They are not dead links and re-directing them to log-in pages is the Journal's right as a commercial entity. Just because they are inconvenient is no reason to change them. The http versions do not supply significantly more information than the https versions and are also mostly paywalled. 18:15, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Just for documentary purposes: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Bender the Bot 8 Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:02, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, they REDIRECT to log in pages now because of Bender the Bot adding the S in HTTP where it doesn't need to be, and NOW no one can read the articles themselves anymore. Why don't you change them back? 156.194.233.191 (talk) 20:18, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
