Find dead links on Wikipedia pages
Name the Wikipedia articles your subject is covered in, and AkOOre checks every link they point out to. The ones that no longer work are gaps an editor needs filled — and OriginalUniqueArt.com can be what fills them.
What this is worth, honestly
A link from Wikipedia is nofollow: it passes no ranking signal to Google, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. It is still one of the most valuable placements on the web, for three reasons that have nothing to do with PageRank:
- AI answers quote Wikipedia constantly. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews lean on it heavily. Being the source cited on the article about your subject is one of the few reliable ways to turn up inside an AI answer.
- Real readers click. The people reading the article about your subject are researching it right now.
- Other writers copy Wikipedia's sources. Journalists and bloggers start there, so one citation quietly becomes several ordinary links elsewhere.

Paste a few Wikipedia URLs above and press Search. AkOOre begins within a minute; each list appears here with its progress, and the dead links land in the table below as the pages are checked.
How AkOOre decides a link is dead
Each page's citation list is read from Wikipedia itself, then every link is checked by asking that site directly. Anything that fails is asked a second time before it is listed, because a single failed request is often just a slow server rather than a dead page.
What the link answered is shown beside it, because the two are not the same thing:
- gone (404, 410) — the page is really not there. This is the opportunity.
- blocked (401, 403, 429) — the site refused an unknown visitor. It is probably alive and fine; open it yourself before doing anything.
- server error (5xx) — broken today, possibly back tomorrow. Worth re-checking later rather than acting on now.
- no answer — nothing responded at all: the domain is switched off or its DNS is gone. Usually genuinely dead.
