I really don't understand why Google can find information that is not available to me. It would seem that if Google can find it, it must be archived somewhere. So why can't I find this archive? |

Gerry Fialka moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Gerry Fialka, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider
.Thanks again, and happy editing!

Please help me with... I need help with using citations with broken (archived?) links in Draft:Gary Stockdale. Specifically, these citations are to the Library of Congress. There are 4 such citations at Draft:Gary Stockdale.
I found these citations using Google searches, for example, a Google search for "Doctor Detroit" "Gary Stockdale" shows that a page at https://www.loc.gov/item/jots.200015001/ contains the info I want. However, when I go to that URL, I get only "Sorry! We can't find what you're looking for. The page you requested could not be found." I'm not sure if this means that the page I want has been archived; but if it has, I don't know where to find the archived page, or an archive date. I really don't understand why Google can find information that is not available to me. It would seem that if Google can find it, it must be archived somewhere. So why can't I find this archive?
Is such a citation usable, and if so, how to cite it, please? Dr.bobbs (talk) 14:33, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- This is unfortunate, I cannot seem to locate that document anywhere and the Wayback Machine doesn't have a copy either. Sadly, I don't think the citation is going to usable. Very strange occurrence though - RichT|C|E-Mail 17:53, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! Although of course that isn't the answer I was hoping for.
