Happy editing! Schazjmd (talk) 15:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Schazjmd Thank you this is very helpful. I appreciate the feedback and will also not remove dead refs as listed below. Thanks again, MailMouse (talk) 19:03, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Dead" refs

Please don't remove refs, even if the URL doesn't work anymore. In most cases, an editor can locate an archived page of the source that was used in the article and add that to the ref to make it accessible again. In your edits to Kevin Hearne, you removed refs that had archive URLs already identified in the ref and only needed url-status= changed to dead. If you find a ref that appears to be dead and are unable to locate an archived version, you can add Template:Dead link to identify it for other editors. But don't just delete it.
