Hi Gadget593! Thanks for your contributions! I noticed that you changed a website into their archived urls, saying that they are dead links. However, the correct way of rescuing dead links is
<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=Aslam+charms+the+Valley&NewsID=356147|author=Jessica Rai|date=30 November 2017|title=Aslam charms the Valley|accessdate=9 February 2013|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217102352/https://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=Aslam+charms+the+Valley&NewsID=356147|archivedate=17 December 2013|deadurl=yes}}</ref>
