External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Boyz Unlimited. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

5x expanded by nom. Article is adequately sourced, no issues arose upon checking. The largest similarity result from Earwig is just due to a quoted passage from a critic. Hooks are interesting, I personally like the first hook and ALT2 the most, but all are good and work. QPQ OK. Nicely done! Good to go. B3251 (talk) 15:25, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A tag was placed on this for {{tone}}, which I believe I've addressed - a promoter should probably double check this.--Laun chba ller 11:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
