Dead link seen in the "TGen_in_the_news" section

The hyperlinks originally inserted here (in this section of the "Talk:" page) (on March 6, 2016) are based upon this version of the article; -- which was the current (most recent) version, as of March 6, 2016. That version is also known as the "03:11, 14 February 2015" version of the article.

The second entry in the "TGen_in_the_news" section of the article, has a hyperlink that displays as "'Dramatic results' for cancer drug; tumors shrinking, TGen researchers report" [0] and points to (links to) the URL http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/0528cancer0526.html [1].

However, that URL -- call it "[1]" -- is (as of March 6, 2016) a Dead link. As of March 6, 2016, the URL "[1]" auto-forwards to http://www.azcentral.com/404.html [2] which is a dead end. The web page at "[2]" displays messages such as

"OOPS!

This page exists to tell you

that this page doesn't exist."

and it also displays a picture of a single-toothed bear/clown character holding (like a paid astroturfer) a sign that just says "404". An unsuccessful attempt was made (on March 6, 2016) to get help from the Wayback machine archives. That attempt led to a ["result"] page (see the "archive dot org" page) -- call it "[3]" -- which said:

"Sorry. This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

and while it did not go in to detail about how the excluding was done, the excluding "might" have been done via a "robots.txt" file.

There did seem to be some (partial?) success, when trying to use the internal search capability feature of the http://www.azcentral.com/ web site. Searching there (on March 6, 2016) for the character string "[0]" (see above) led to [some ads, and] one "hit", which pointed to http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/scottsdale/2015/06/20/melanoma-trial-begins-new-cancer-drugs/29025443/ [4]. I do not know whether that corresponds to (or even "is similar to" in any way) the erstwhile web page that used to be at "[1]". However, since it was found via a search for the text that is displayed for the URL "[1]", I think that it might be helpful to add some explanatory (and maybe apologetic) verbiage -- including the [search result "hit"] URL "[4]" -- to that "second entry" in the "TGen_in_the_news" section of the article.

Any advice, or other comments? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 21:20, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
