[Keerthivardhan1]

no @possumbilities. thanks a lot for the idea.

[Keerthivardhan1]

Ok @possumbilities, Thank you.

[tusharbansal22]

#14 Made some changes. Please check

[Keerthivardhan1]

This are all the broken links that I found. and almost all of them are showing 404 error this means server can not find the resources mentioned. please let me know if I am wrong can I proceed with this issue thank you

[possumbilities]

@Keerthivardhan1 How did you come by this list? Was there a tool you utilized, would you mind documenting that here?

[possumbilities]

@Keerthivardhan1 And a tremendous thank you for looking into this further! ❤️

I would also strongly encourage you to provide the full list of broken links as actual text here in a comment (you can use Markdown tables or just a bulleted list to do so). That way it's more accessible, and easier for people to document and check for.

I'm marking this as ticket work required which means it's not yet ready for PRs. It'll move to ready for work when the documentation here is more clear and thorough.

Thanks all so far for your contributions!

[Keerthivardhan1]

Thanks @possumbilities , sure I will provide list of all the broken links in text format.

@Keerthivardhan1 Ah, thanks for linking to that other issue. For the future make sure what you are submitting as an Issue doesn't already exist, and if it does then I'd suggest adding onto that Issue instead of creating a new one :)

Once you've got all the details moved in here I'll close that other one as a duplicate of this one.

[Keerthivardhan1]

"Visit" link in https://resources.creativecommons.org/cash-music-creative-commons-portal/
is leading to bad host server error.
Can you give me a clarity that is this the destination page of that link

if yes
the problem is that , the url of the destination page had been updated
solution :
we must update the url of destination page in our code base as well
thank you

[possumbilities]

@Keerthivardhan1 Well done on listing them out! I think next steps might be helpful in determining what the correct links should be corresponding to the ones that are presently broken, so there's a solid map on which ones we can change, and which ones we may need it discuss removing entirely.

As for the cash music portal I'm not sure on what the correct link is, I will look into it and see if I can track down something. You could also look back through the repository history here and see if you can discern any clarity, that may or may not work.

[Keerthivardhan1]

sure @possumbilities

[Keerthivardhan1]

on researching
https://creativecommons.org/2009/01/21/cash-music-exploring-creative-commons-licensing-in-the-music-industry/

that mentioned link takes to the same destination and the result is the same.
but by this article I think the destination page might be this :- https://cashmusic.org/

going through repository history I found this :-

cc-resource-archive/docs/cash-music-creative-commons-portal.html

Line 13 in 0d04dbc

downloadurl: http://creativecommons.cashmusic.org/

solutions :-
1 . deleting that link :-
if iam not wrong because in the creativecommons.org there is no sub rout or folders with name cashmusic

2 . or linking to the main website of cashmusic.org

what shell I do @possumbilities
please let me know if I am wrong .

[Keerthivardhan1]

I would like to work on this issue can you please assign to me.

[possumbilities]

@Keerthivardhan1 for the cashmusic bit. have you tried using the Internet Archive to see if the two sites/services are the same?

[Keerthivardhan1]

creativecommons.cashmusic.org sit maps to following one
https://web.archive.org/web/20160309043535/http://creativecommons.cashmusic.org/

cashmusic :- cashmusic.org

what i found is that UI of both sites are different *But twitter account of the both sites point to the same one

in Internet Archive

in cashmusic.org site

so I think
They had updated there site url and UI .
but url in our site is not updated accordingly this is the reason we are facing 404 error.

I am new to internet archives . it will be helpful if you once verify it . thanks.

[Keerthivardhan1]

in 15 :- more over in browser it is showing http://www.layervault.com/ not secure

as far as my research.

the website "layervault.com" no longer exists and there is no updated URL available. It seems that the website has been discontinued and the content has been taken down.
so the following links

https://layervault.com/creative-commons/Six%20Licenses%20guide
In the page :- https://resources.creativecommons.org/six-licenses-for-sharing-your-work/

https://layervault.com/creative-commons/Public%20Domain%20guide

need to be deleted or
we have to ask for maintainers or contributor who have added this that if the resource really exists now ?

on the way I found this artical. says(BrokerMarket Acquires LayerVault IP)

@possumbilities please give me your suggestions on what to do with the links related to layervault.com
please let me know if Iam wrong. Thank you @possumbilities.

[Keerthivardhan1]

@possumbilities can you please review this issue (decent amount of work is done on it)
#50 . thanks a lot for your time.

[possumbilities]

@Keerthivardhan1 Hi, and thank you for all the work here! For any places like layervault that seem to have left the web, see if you can find a matching Web Archive at The Internet Archive and provide links there instead.

As for cashmusic if it's the same social media it's likely the same place, but if you can't find the old links on the new site, then the Internet Archive might still have the content in a snapshot there?

[Keerthivardhan1]

hello @possumbilities,
yes I found the snapshot of url http://creativecommons.cashmusic.org/ --(cashmusic) (in 2016)

I think it should be the right one.
It also has snapshots in 2015.
can you suggest me which one would be the best to replace the broken url?

coming to layervault
Internet Archive has snapshots but none of them have content in it thay had only the landing page (home page ).
and for url https://layervault.com/creative-commons
it has 2 to 3 snapshots but only one as content in it. and that too the one snapshot has only html content and when we click in a link present in it. that is taking to a blank page.
here are the screenshots: -

this the html content shown:-

suppose if we click on six-licenses-guide this is the result: -

what shell I do @possumbilities ?

[Keerthivardhan1]

@possumbilities can you please review this issue (decent amount of work is done on it and now it is ready to rise PR)
#50 . thanks a lot for your time.

[possumbilities]

I looked into layervault and it seems this was OUR hosted account there, and the Internet Archive lacks a snapshot of the content, so there'd be no way to repair that particular link-out.

Feel free to go ahead with a PR for all of the above.

[Keerthivardhan1]

Everything is almost done, but I have two doubts.
in page of -->get-cc-savvy links in that page point to
(404 error)
However, this page is critical to Creative Commons as it assists individuals and organizations in learning about Creative Commons licenses and how to use them.
My idea is that we can point all those link to https://creativecommons.org/get-cc-savvy/.
can I Proseed with this.

********2 . Shell I remove all the links related to layervault ???

All other broken links have been fixed.
Thanks a lot for your time @possumbilities.

[possumbilities]

@Keerthivardhan1 I think that change works! Go head!

[Keerthivardhan1]

All of the broken links have been repaired. Would you kindly review my pull request at #96? Additionally, I came across some errors in the HTML code on the resources page and would like to correct them. Should I create a new issue for this or submit a PR related to the errors in the same issue?
Thanks a lot @possumbilities for helping me out in my contribution journey. Thanks you.
