-    * In the case of author URLs sometimes the Internet Wayback Machine is
-    helpful (and has helped) but in other cases it has not. Note that sometimes
-    the Internet Wayback Machine helped find more recent URLs so this should be

-    * Remember to update the author JSON files if it's an author URL!
-    * For URLs that cannot be located at all remove them entirely but add them
-    to [bugs.md](/bugs.md) as a missing link to the respective entry. See that file for the
-    correct status to add. Remember that each type of issue per entry in the
-    [bugs.md](/bugs.md) file should have its own status.
-    * If it's a link in the repo then there's no need (in almost all cases if
-    not all cases) to have the Internet Wayback Machine: instead just update the
-    link to point to the right location.
-    * Do we need to update the links that point to GitHub raw content? I'm not
-    sure.
