    As highlighted in QA, this article[^] has an expired link. The link to "download ResEdit from [here]" points to an expired domain, which could very easily be taken over by a site hosting malware. The author appears to be long gone, and the article isn't much use without the missing download. Is it worth keeping the article with the link removed, or would it make more sense to remove the article?

      Good catch! In this case, we should remove the article.

      Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

        The article itself may come in handy for someone in the future that's looking for information on the subject. Maybe keep the article with the removed links?
