Troublesome...

 * http://finance.baylor.edu/reichenstein/fin4365/CalcultaingAssetAllocation.PDF (archive)
 * In Tax-Adjusted Asset Allocation on 2009-11-13 14:41:06, Socket Error: 'getaddrinfo failed'
 * NOTE: There seems to be some kind of DNS trouble with this one. It "works", but not with Verizon? --Mas 03:47, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Update: I have Verizon. The link works now. --LadyGeek 03:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Still does not work for me (both primary and secondary DNS lookups fail). Maybe it is a regional issue?
 * >nslookup finance.baylor.edu 71.252.0.12
 * Server: nsrest01.verizon.net
 * Address: 71.252.0.12
 * nsrest01.verizon.net can't find finance.baylor.edu: Server failed
 * >nslookup finance.baylor.edu 68.237.161.12

 * I had one failure on the 2nd nameserver, then they both worked
 * ~> nslookup finance.baylor.edu 71.242.0.14
 * Name:	finance.baylor.edu
 * Address: 129.62.162.212


 * ~> nslookup finance.baylor.edu 71.250.0.14
 * (same as primary nameserver)
 * We're neighbors. 71.241.224.0 - 71.253.255.255 belongs to Verizon, Reston VA. traceroute is going through Philly.

 * Removed from external link page, comment already noted in Commodities
 * However, it's duplicated in External link maintenance, the pywikipedia bot will find it again. There appears to be multiple broken links in Commodities. Instead of deleting, perhaps the links should be broken (change format to bypass bot find) in case someone wants to research the references via another channel, or, just delete the references?--LadyGeek 03:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I think the best way in Commodities is to just break the links to keep pywikipedia happy, but leave the reference info available. --LadyGeek 02:57, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
