- Media usage:
- File:Where Is Love? by Jack Jones.png - missing alt text
- File:Old Man River by Jack Jones.mp3
- All files have proper copyright tags, captions and alt texts; except noted. Vestrian24Bio 10:33, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
- @HazelAlbertSheriff: that's all I got, ping me when you're done addressing these.. Vestrian24Bio 10:33, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
- I think I addressed all the comments now, though link-dispenser still shows that no link is archived when I archived all non-archive.org sources. Do you know why that could be? HazelAlbertSheriff (talk) 12:59, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
- It takes a while to update, it now shows nine refs as archived.. Vestrian24Bio 13:30, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
- Ah yeah I see now, thanks. Also, if I try archiving the books from archive.org it says "We're currently facing some limitations when it comes to archiving this site. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your understanding" for two days now. Everything else is done. HazelAlbertSheriff (talk) 07:18, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
