Blue Horizon seems to be permanently gone, Wells-Moody Motel

A Semi-Wicked Good Maine Page
http://www.angelfire.com/me/fromaway/index.html - The site has moved to its own domain (to which angelfire is kindly including a redirect, which is why the link from DMOZ still works). The correct URL is http://www.semiwickedgood.com/

http://people.bu.edu/lorettah/glossary.html - If you click on this link, there is a statement that the site has moved and that one should check out http://home.earthlink.net/~lorilady/glossary.html

Re: Dead Links - Maine>Travel>Events
P.S. On Post #68096:
Though both work (for now) it is probably better on the Maine Open Farm Day link to use the "getrealmaine" nomenclature. I.e., substitute "mainefoodandfarms" in the URL with "getrealmaine" The resulting URL would be: http://www.getrealmaine.com/visit/open_farm_day.html
gckorn
P.S. Even the www.maine.gov website has many dead links from use of the old "mainefoodandfarms" links. See the various links under the "agriculture" heading here: http://www.maine.gov/portal/living/land_environ.html#agriculture

thanks again for helping out with these.
#67101 is waiting for a Recreation editor
#67643 done
#67986 done
#68096 / #68098 done . Have corrected existing url, and placed a note to the new domain for if/when it goes 404.
#68438 done
#68778 done . http://www.timesrecord.com/Taste_Midcoast/kristinas.html listed instead. The old link was delivering all those variant pages as the old host is selling their 404 traffic, so you are effectivly clicking on a PPC ad each time you head there
#68995 done. Can't find new site, did find a reference "open April-October,".

http://dmoz.org/World/Deutsch/Freizeit/Humor/Witze/
www.witz.de was not really hijacked but probably sold to some dialer-guys. used to be a good site but it isn't any more and should be deleted. no free content at all any more as you can see.
and there was another one, but i just forgot that. well i'll first post this one, the other one later.
do you agree, that those site shouldn't be listed in odp?

Dead/Redirect Links: Maine>Trav>Monuments>Acadia
The following category contains duplicative and/or redirected links (and a link that at might warrant a title correction):
http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Maine/Travel_and_Tourism/Parks/National_Parks_and_Monuments/Acadia_National_Park/
Acadia Visitor Guide
http://www.acadiaguide.com/ - This link is live.
Acadia Visitor Online
http://www.acadia-national-park.com/ - This link goes to a site that has IDENTICAL content to the above link, i.e., http://www.acadiaguide.com, even though the URL is different. It is odd, but there is no need for 2 links to the identical content. Also violates the rule "Do not add mirror sites."
Query on the following link:
Sailing Acadia National Park
http://www.downeastfriendshipsloop.com/ - The name of the company is "Downeast Friendship Sloop Charters." This does not match the link title, although it does match the meta-tag title. URL submission guidelines state: "Always opt for the official name of the site." The meta-tag is more "descriptive" than it is a title of the entity. Anyway, it had me confused.

Misdirected Link: Maine>Trav>Lodg>B&B
This one is odd. The following category has a link whose URL is that SAME as that of the category itself. The category is:

P.S. Given that the number system has changed, I went through old posts and tried to determine what was still open. Here they are:
#270/271: Same thing, but need #270 to see the issue, and #271 to access.
#285: The "Special Olympics" item still needs to be corrected.
