citation reference to museum website has been hacked

[edit]

First citation link adds 'nothing to see here' and links to: http://www.nothingtoseehere.net/2009/03/the_helicopter_museum_westonsu.html

It should say https://helimuseum.com

I tried editing page but don't want to mess it up even more than the miscreant. 80.189.104.168 (talk) 13:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out. I've removed the bad ref. I can't find a history page on the museum's website to verify the sentence it relates to. Perhaps someone else can find something suitable. Lestocq (talk) 00:00, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the change but why not link direct to their home page?

Inline citations are to show the source of the information in the preceding (or sometimes the surrounding or following) sentence(s). I can't find a page on the museum's website that mentions the founding of the museum. The Infobox already has the link to the museum's website, and it's irrelevant/misleading to cite it inline if it doesn't provide a source for the adjacent material.
