Broken links needing manual action (follow-up to #838 / #751) #839

Description

@LukasWallrich

Follow-up to #838, which fixed the automated link-checker findings from #751. A handful of broken links could not be resolved from the repository alone — they need a maintainer with account access or an editorial decision. Listing them here so they aren't lost now that #838 is merged.

Restricted Google Forms (need republishing)

  • FRED data-curator application form — linked on /replication-hub/fred_data_curators_role/. The current link is a private /edit editor URL, and the /viewform variant also redirects to Google sign-in, so the form is restricted rather than just wrongly linked. Action: publish the form to "anyone with the link" and update the page with the public /d/e/<published-id>/viewform URL.
  • Open-Scholarship-Syllabi submission form — on /syllabus/ (also embedded via the {{< gform >}} shortcode). Already in public /viewform format but redirects to sign-in, so the form is closed/restricted. Action: reopen the form to the public or supply a current public link; if collection is closed, consider removing the embed.

Deleted resources with no archive (editorial decision — likely retire)

These are curated-resources entries whose entire linked resource is a Google Doc/Sheet returning HTTP 410 (deleted), with no usable Wayback snapshot. Since the source is the "FORRT Database 2.0" sheet (gid 1924034107), the rows should be removed there so they don't regenerate:

  • content/curated_resources/hackathon-encouraging-open-science-pract.md → deleted Google Doc 1x-Q6pE3eaPRkOyhHxf_wUjBWbi2a5ASGLTZRxneDs6g
  • content/curated_resources/open-research-examples-of-good-practice.md → deleted Google Doc 1Vblnwym18kX2tmL3VcooSdN1CLg3xkppARGCGB39lvw
  • content/curated_resources/preregistration-for-quantitative-researc.md → deleted Google Sheet 1vlp5GN-HXrtrjCdjE28f_3tT6RiwhQO2vVeOZGOaFsQ
  • The Economist "Unlikely Results" videocontent/curated_resources/unlikely-results.md links youtube.com/watch?v=TosyACdsh-g, which is deleted from YouTube with no re-upload or archive found. Find a replacement source or retire the entry.

Citation needing verification

  • Patson et al. (2016) in /reversals/ (content/reversals/reversals.md, "match advantage object number" reversal) — the original link was a dead EBSCO session URL. No candidate DOI could be confidently matched to the described number-match verification paradigm, so it was left unchanged rather than risk linking the wrong paper. Needs someone who knows the reference to supply the correct DOI/link.

Everything else from #751 (malformed URLs, moved sites, dead-but-archivable pages, broken/typo'd DOIs, publisher→doi.org conversions, placeholder social links, the Open Research Toolkit videos → OSF, etc.) was fixed in #838, including the upstream Google Sheet cells so the fixes survive daily regeneration.
