I did RTFA and this paragraph threw me off:
> All in all, emails about defunct links of sites that weren’t saved are annoying, but harmless. Finding archived materials to replace them add maybe 20 minutes of internet searches to my day – and a bit of anger at the state of the country.
The way I read that was that the articles still existed elsewhere. But reading the article again I can see they are referring to other people's citations of the things that are deleted.
Also, the title itself:
> I am an Arctic researcher. Donald Trump is deleting my citations
Citation is defined by the dictionary as:
> "a quotation from or reference to a book, paper, or author, especially in a scholarly work."
Not the source data.
So my apologies. I misread what the author was intending to say. But in defense if the author was intending to say that then the word citation in the title is used completely wrong. (or scientist have a different definition which I find odd)
Actually readying the article again. I am still not sure I was not right the first time. Deleting a citation is NOT deleting the source material. Deleting "cited material" is.
