Regarding citation[edit]

Question.svg This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Seems like citation 3 and 4 have issues.

  • The iQue Paper Mario booklet citation links to a tieba.baidu.com URL, which when opened, gives an error message that says page doesn't exist. tieba.baidu.com is highly prone to deleting posts, and had an incident where all posts made before 2017, regardless of whether they were against any policies or not, were wiped clean. I suggest always making a backup (eg, archive.org) of any tieba.baidu.com sources, and by extension any Chinese sources, when citing the source.
  • The techyoshi URL gives a 500 Internal Server Error when opened. Upon closer inspection, removing the index.php from the URL makes the page accessible: https://ml.techyoshi.com/topic,142.0.html . However, it doesn't mention that SP can be recovered when sleeping in a bed. Not sure if it's bad source, bad placement of the citation, or source changed.

Someone please help check the citations, and probably scan for other similar citation issues on the site.
