Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of ornithological societies. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20101222053558/http://readingpublicmuseum.org/museum/exhibits/exhibitions/influenced_by_birds.php to http://www.readingpublicmuseum.org/museum/exhibits/exhibitions/influenced_by_birds.php

Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (France) et al.
On two occasions this year I added France and the LPO to this list. LPO (founded in 1912, current membership ~60000) is the French ornithological society. As there is currently no WP page for LPO in English, adding a redlink seemed reasonable. I carefully included an inter-language link, to serve until an English-language page is created (perhaps by myself, in due course?):
 * Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LPO)

On both occasions the LPO information was reverted:
 * 1) on account of the redlink (and at the same time as other redlinks were deleted) 2021-08-04
 * 2) because Wikipedia is not a reliable source 2021-10-24 (yesterday)

I feel confused and slightly distressed; this reversion is unnecessary and harsh in my opinion. Fellow-wikipedians, what say you? jw (talk) 15:46, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The removal was following the WP:LISTCOMPANY guideline, which requires list entries for organizations to have independent, reliable sources. IronGargoyle (talk) 07:00, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
