Archive links (Howard W. Gilmore)

Hello Katatonica, thank you for your efforts to fix broken reference links. Just a quick tip though: you should add archives using the additional parameters "archiveurl", "archivedate" and "dead-url" to specify an archive but preserve the original URL in the url parameter (see Template:cite web for more info). If you want to hide the original URL from readers (for example in case of spam, malicious redirects or usurped sites), you can set "dead-url=unfit" or "dead-url=usurped", and the original link will not be displayed in article views. Hope these tips are helpful, but please feel free to ask me or at WP:Teahouse if you have any further questions. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 06:23, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
