Open source VRML programs (external links)
Moving this list of external links to Talk, replacing with a list of links to appropriate articles in Wikipedia -- Writtenonsand 14:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Meh, I'm not real happy with how that turned out. Wikipedia's guideline is to use internal rather than external links whenever possible ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links ), but we still need articles on most of those. -- Writtenonsand 15:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * After adding replacement link directory such as VRML I removed all these unneeded links from article, because they are accessible from this Open Directory Project replacement. Wikinger (talk) 16:23, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Dead links
Two of the external links are dead. The one for the VRML and X3D Plugin Detector and the example at http://cic.nist.gov/vrml/nistlogo.wrl Please delete them. 69.138.64.243 (talk) 03:41, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Why is this page still protected? If it weren't I could delete the dead links myself. 69.138.64.243 (talk) 01:44, 3 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Best practice isn't to simply delete dead links anyway. Tag them with dead link first. Then either find the same content at a different URL (many links become dead after site re-organisations and the content is still there, just moved) or else use http://archive.org to recover an old copy.
 * Deleting dead links is only really needed if the link isn't worthwhile, or it can't be found after careful searching. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:26, 3 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I can't tag them with dead link if the page is still protected. The dead links that I'm pointing out are my own content that I have deleted from the NIST website.  I no longer have the resources to maintain the pages.  Old copies are not good as the content can get out-dated quickly.  Please just delete the links.  Thanks.  69.138.64.243 (talk) 02:17, 6 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes check.svg Done For sources it is best to find replacements, but these were external links in a section that is already tagged as having too many external links. See also WP:ELDEAD. PaleAqua (talk) 15:39, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
