I believe that ZeitPolizei meant the links in the actual article on salon.com. They all direct me to the Ohio State University email login as well. For example, I clicked on "expert entertainer and performer" and it took me to this.

Weird, I will talk to Salon people about this.

You must have written the article off-campus while logged into the OSU proxy server. All links are the ones provided by the OSU proxy. This allows you to read subscription-only journals while off campus, but if you copy them, they won't work for anyone else. Salon won't be able to help you.

It does indicate that Salon doesn't proofread or copyedit, which is good to know.

Ah, thanks for clarifying, makes sense. Oh well, such is life.

There must be some mechanism for you to repair such errors in the article. (Imagine that you'd accidentally -- or not accidentally, for that matter -- written something libellous and obviously wrong. It must be possible to retract such things, no?)

I don't know how the process for submitting things to Salon works, but is there no one you can contact and say "oops, the hyperlinks in my article are garbled; please replace the article with this new version, which differs only in having them ungarbled"?

Yup, I already sent an email to my contact there with a new version that I created after signing out of my OSU account, so it's all clean. Hopefully they will put it up soon.
