Copyediting the URL of sources

On 17:06 28 October 2018, you edited the URL (see difference between revisions Line 33) of a source in the Lesbophobia article by changing the URL's curly apostrophe style to straight. In doing so, you created a link rot that returned "404 Page Not Found". In your summary, you gave "Citation Style" as reason for the edit. However, the CS guidelines do not include altering the punctuation style in the URL of a source.
The MOS Punctuation guideline is for apostrophes in the text -- not in citations.
I really hope you have not made this same type of edit to other articles because if you have, you created link rot in them and only the most determined readers will go out of their way to find the problem and fix it.
FYI, I created a discussion in MOS regarding the copyediting of URLs: MOS:PUNCT does not apply to URLs. Pyxis Solitary yak 11:39, 13 April 2019 (UTC) - edited 06:59, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

thanks for catching that error. I thought I had repaired the few curly urls that slipped through my early drafts of the script. Smasongarrison (talk) 07:01, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
