User:Rhododendrites, what is an acceptable citation for the current v3 Onion URL (dreadytofatroptsdj6io7l3xptbet6onoyno2yv7jicoxknyazubrad.onion)? Is it accepted that 0x6133ACE1F4B87C51DBF3FEA5E8610510F9A6E922 is the fingerprint of HugBunter's PGP key, that the key is uncompromised, and thus a message which is signed by that key will suffice? Are resources such as
dark.fail accepted? Similarly, is a citation needed to mark the v2 address (dreadditevelidot.onion) as defunct? It is clear to see that it no longer works. —JivanP (

JivanP: Because of how messy onion urls can be, and the great potential cost to the reader of going to the wrong one, Wikipedia tends to want a
reliable source to back up the address and to err on the side of exclusion otherwise. So like
Silk Road (marketplace) cites a book and Business Insider. The current Dread url is from The Register. DeepDotWeb was one source (though a kind of controversial one -- no clear consensus about its reliability) but, well, that's gone. I don't know anything about dark.fail. It doesn't look to have a lot of information about it or the kinds of things we'd look for when assessing

Unlikely to be supported as is. The idea is that the Wikipedia reader shouldn't have to do such validation of their sources. If another reliable source has done so however, that source can be used
