Guantanamo Bay detention camp dead link removal
I put back the dead links you've removed. They shouldn't be removed without replacing them with new ones. By removing them, you're making it look like many of these issues are now unreferenced, making them subject to easy removal. Even when a paragraph has multiple references, sometimes those references only support part of the claim. You can't know without seriously reading them that the ones remaining will continue to support the paragraph the way that the old link used to. Besides that, dead links are still useful for tracking down information. -- Randy2063 (talk) 22:44, 22 June 2014 (UTC) How are dead links useful when tracking down information? If the link is dead, that means there is nothing to see and the link is useless. Whoever was responsible for posting now-dead links can re-link to archived content on the Wayback Machine, but don't waste readers' patience by re-posting dead links. It makes the subject irrelevant without active links readers can view. You might as well post content without any references at all if the only support for them is dead links.
