Rm following non-working refs - can someone find them?
I have had to remove the following refs from the article in the process of cleaning up refs. They do not work any longer and I was unable to find other sites for the same sources.

Discrepancy: number of protestors at funeral
In the lede:
At Dink's funeral, two hundred thousand mourners marched in protest of the assassination,
in the body:
Dink's funeral ceremony developed into a demonstration at which a hundred thousand citizens marched in protest...
Which is correct? Neither is cited. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:32, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
About his stance
The lede says that Hrant Dink criticized both Turkey's denial of the Armenian genocide and Armenian diaspora's campaign for its international recognition, yet the inline references do not support this statement. RekishiEJ (talk) 03:35, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
- I agree. After a review of the relevant literature clearly illustrates Hrant Dink's distinctive position. The sources indicate that while Dink was critical of Turkey's denial of the Armenian genocide, he also did not fully endorse the Armenian diaspora's campaign for international recognition. His primary focus was instead on fostering direct dialogue and establishing a sustainable groundwork for reconciliation between Turks and Armenians. We can therefore reference these sources to highlight his balanced perspective, which critically engaged with both sides.[1][2][3][4][5] Enjoyman (talk) 10:29, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
