I've been a Wikipedia editor since 2003 or so, but I am not a neutral participant in this.
Also, I do not know what the links originally pointed to.
I'd say, for a starter it is sufficient to add some text like "(this link is dead)" oder "(this link needs an account with ...)". When someone rereads your annotations, he/she may remember what has been linked here and find another link as a replacement. It's OK that you want to do constructive work, but it can be hard to fix something when you don't know what's missing :) So currently I'd just give a heads up to the author by leaving those remarks.
