Dead links
Hello Dailycare,
Regarding this edit, where you removed a "non-working link". Sometimes you get an error while trying to go to a certain website, but that doesn't necessarily mean the link is "dead". It could be a problem with your browser, ISP, various servers on the way, or a temporary error with the destination server. In these cases, there are two things you can do - first, try to find an alternative link, using the information you have (which is why it's important to always include as much information as possible in these links - title, publisher, date, etc). If you don't want to do so, or can't find an alternate source, just tag to link with "{{dead link}}", which will add the text "dead link" next to the link in question (see details in Template:dead link). Then, in the future, another user will again try to access the website, and take appropriate steps if the link is still down. There are users who mainly deal with the problem of dead links, going around correcting them (often a website will change the internal systems, and break the links, while the actual content is still there, and you just have to find its new location).
Remember - once a link is deleted, it's probable that no one will remember the source, while it could have just been a temporary problem - it's a shame to lose a source due to such a thing.

Israeli settlements
Hi Dailycare! Please stop edit-warring and adding irrelevant and unsourced content to articles about Israeli settlements. As a new editor, I am not sure you understand what a source on Misplaced Pages is considered. Please read WP:V and WP:RS and self-revert. The content you added is also not relevant because the United Nations resolution does not translate into international law, and was written much earlier than Modi'in Illit's founding. You will need to find reliable secondary sources saying that Modi'in Illit and Ma'ale Adumim specifically are illegal, otherwise the content might only be relevant to the main Israeli settlement article. —Ynhockey 17:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
