Am going to put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 20:06, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

@NASCARfan0548: I am trying to finish my last week of college online before I graduate, so my time is limited right now. Even so, Max, I encourage you to seek these sources out yourself. You nominated the article, so it's up to you to bring it to GA standards. Sometimes, that includes research for citations. Hope that helps, --Bcschneider53 (talk) 03:29, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Bcschneider53, OK NASCARfan0548 ↗ 04:19, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Bcschneider53, Thank you for fixing the URLs. NASCARfan0548 ↗ 20:44, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

After fixing most of these issues I can fix, is the article ready for GA yet, @MWright96:? NASCARfan0548 ↗ 16:20, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

• @NASCARfan0548: References 2, 4 and 13 have still not have had the archive links from the Internet Archive added to them by using the archiveurl= and archivedate= fields added to the references in question. MWright96 (talk) 20:15, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

  MWright96, I want to archive them myself, but I don't have the permissions to run the bot. NASCARfan0548 ↗ 20:28, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

  • @NASCARfan0548: Archiving can be done manually by first copy-pasting the urls at https://archive.org/ and then pasting the archived link from archive.org to the archiveurl= field in the relevant references on the Wikipedia article in question. MWright96 (talk) 20:39, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
    • @NASCARfan0548 and MWright96: I ran each of these three through the Internet Archive and was able to add the archived URLs. For future reference, Max, Micheal is right; this can be done without a bot simply by going to the Internet Archive in any web browser, pasting the URL you need, and finding the archived version. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:45, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
      • Bcschneider53, Thanks, I didn't know you can archive manually. NASCARfan0548 ↗ 20:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

        Also Ref 2 gives a lot of CS1 errors, including a missing URL. NASCARfan0548 ↗ 20:53, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

        My bad, must have forgotten to preview that one. Fixed the second ref. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 21:15, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
