Do any exist anymore? (The Price is Right online stores)

I'm trying to find some online stores related to The Price Is Right (U.S. game show). So far, no such luck. The CBS online store did have some at one point or another. Do any gift stores related to the aforementioned game show exist?2604:2000:7113:9D00:B81E:C008:E611:FADF (talk) 03:49, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

I added to the title to make it clear. StuRat (talk) 04:26, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

I looked, but there's nothing on either of them.2604:2000:7113:9D00:B81E:C008:E611:FADF (talk) 14:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Did you search on eBay, they have listings, they also have a "buy it now" option.-- Isaidnoway (talk) 16:10, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Dead Links on Secured Pages

Hi,

I have 2 questions I was reading an article about a company on wikipedia. I noticed that there was a link on alexa rank. But that link was not of the company's website. I edited that link to the company's original site. I was able to edit.

As it was my first edit, i was excited to check my contribution. -9 was written after my edit. I thought there must be something wrong with my edit. Then i wanted to edit some more pages. I chose Sir Amitabh Bachchan's page. Being a fan, i thought i could edit something there. There were many references giving 404 error. But I couldn't edit.

Q1. Why -9? Q2. Secured pages cannot be edited. What about those dead links, how can we delete them?

Could you please fill me in on this?

The -9 means that you reduced the total number of characters in the article by 9. Which you did.[1] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 11:45, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

As to why Amitabh Bachchan was permanently semi-protected nearly four years ago, you might need to ask the admin who took that action. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 11:52, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

To get deadlinks removed from protected pages, and make similar improvements in the future, see instructions at Wikipedia:Edit_requests. SemanticMantis (talk) 14:08, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
