:They both already have archives that support the reference. I don't know why you can't find them, that's quite weird. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 05:05, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

::I checked both before I removed them. Neither of the citations had a good capture. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 05:13, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

:::I think I went to your removed version and saw citations 2 and 4 both being completely fine archived. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 05:14, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

:::Yes, that's what I meant - the archived snapshots I found were bad. Sorry that wasn't clear. Thanks for taking care of the references. [[User:Marc84|Marc84]] ([[User talk:Marc84|talk]]) 02:13, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

:I've gone ahead and removed the problematic citations. Reference 2 was not a huge loss since there was at least the Daily Mail citation covering the same subject. Reference 4 for the Candy Crush Saga in-game ads was very unfortunate, as I'm only finding conflicting information on how in-game advertising is defined and whether it both exists and is problem — which is very much not helped by the AI slop/hallucinations I've come across while searching.

:Goes to show why archiving web pages ASAP is so important. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 05:09, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

::no wonder they looked completely fine LOL [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 05:13, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
