That assumes that a web page disappearing happens only because it is withdrawn due to factual errors. In practise, I find broken urls because they changed the CMS, the urls have been completely changed, the article is now behind a paywall, the domain expired... None of which is an indicator of the quality of the original page being bad. _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
