This site seems to be taken over by a Japanese website that google translate tells me is selling health insurance

mindtrove link is fixed, jwave link is replaced to pay-walled version of paper in #6679

I think in both cases the links to the astraw.com domain are only minimally important and it would be difficult for me to resurrect them, so I propose just to remove those links from the docs.

The first one seems dead; maybe can be replaced by this one: http://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/

At this point, searching for aspnetresources.com just points to this page and the dead one; I think there's little hope of it coming back.

I think this is fixed.
@tacaswell can you confirm and close if that is the case?

This isse is about external links. You have to pass --check-extern to link checker to check those. The internal ones are checked by Travis automatically
