In ropensci/taxize: Taxonomic Information from Around the Web

I am taking over as maintainer from Scott Chamberlain. Scott told me that there was an error on a CRAN check due to a down internet service. The error no longer appears at https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_taxize.html so I do not know what the problem was exactly. However, I have checked all of the test code to make sure that tests requiring internet services will not be run on CRAN, so the problem is probably solved.

Update after first submission:

I have checked for invalid URLs using urlchecker::url_check and fixed all except for:

x Error: inst/CITATION:8:22 403: Forbidden
   url            = "https://f1000research.com/articles/2-191/v2",
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
x Error: inst/CITATION:13:37 403: Forbidden
        "F1000Research, 2:191. URL: https://f1000research.com/articles/2-191/v2")
                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am not sure what the problem is here. The link works fine in a browser and does not redirect to another URL.

I got many notes about unconfirmed URLs like:

  URL: https://github.com/JulietteLgls
    From: README.md
    Status: 429
    Message: Too Many Requests

probably because there are so many to check.
