faktaomfartyg.nu -> faktaomfartyg.se
Hi Rotlink; I notice that you added archive links to several faktamofartyg.nu references, as the site is dead - this is indeed the case; however, faktaomfartyg.nu was simply replaced (again) by faktaomfartyg.se and the URLs stay otherwise the same - so e.g. what was formerly http://www.faktaomfartyg.nu/superfast_X_2002.htm is now http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/superfast_X_2002.htm. So I think it would be best to replace the links with the working ones to the current site, as the pages for individual ships obviously don't get updated in the archive. Thanks for your work and if you could do this, that would be great :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 16:17, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK. Just run the replacer for faktaomfartyg.nu -> faktaomfartyg.se. Rotlink (talk) 16:34, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Some (less than 10) links to th old site (faktaomfartyg.nu) are left because of missynchronization of my index and the real Wikipedia content, they will be replaced as well as soon as the index will be rebuilt (24-48 hours). Rotlink (talk) 17:50, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Please respond
Quoted from Wikipedia_talk:Link rot:
 * It very much looks like Archive.is keeps only the newest shots when it archives external links automatically. It archives the external links once in a while, discarding the old archived versions. In the end, it's archiving dead links. And that is very bad. I detailed the process at Talk:Archive.is. The owner of Archive.is probably doesn't realize that the program deletes old versions. — Ark25  (talk) 00:35, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

User:Rotlink I've tried to reach you on http://blog.archive.is/ask, by email, and now here. Can you respond? --Lexein (talk) 02:35, 18 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Responded there. Thank you for pointing to the topic. I received only one email from you (with the question about re-archiving and typo fixes), responded to it asking for the examples, and that's all. Rotlink (talk) 03:20, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

 * There is no any redirects . Maybe you have to check you computer with an antivirus? Rotlink (talk) 12:17, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * i have already did. what have antivirus to do with this? --188.176.236.246 (talk) 12:32, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * There could be something like DNSChanger on your side. Rotlink (talk) 12:36, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * OMG, i am already making an antiviruse scan but i dont know if it can delete it. some help? --188.176.236.246 (talk) 12:40, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * planet49.dk seems to be a scam site, but I did not found yet any topics about malware associated with them. Rotlink (talk) 12:53, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * So how do i come off with the DNSChanger? --188.176.236.246 (talk) 18:19, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Questions about Archive.is
Hello! I noticed that you are the owner of Archive.is (from the talk page at Wikipedia talk:Link rot). I have a few questions: Such things would be extremely useful, in my view. Thank you. —  Ark25  (talk) 19:22, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you create a gadget for Wikipedia in order to show the archived link near each external link? (since you archived automatically all the external links last year). If yes, then can you archive the Wikipedia's external links automatically each month or so, from now on?
 * Can you create a Bookmarklet for archiving links with Archive.is, like WebCite's bookmarklet - Using WebCite ?
 * Can you create a way like the WikiWix gadget for archiving an external link automatically, just by clicking the first time on it's Archive.is link? (I detailed how WikiWix gadget works at Wikipedia talk:Link rot)


 * Do you mean something like Template:Query_web_archive ? It is already there, but not very popular.
 * There is a bookmarklet:  javascript:void(open('http://archive.is/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))  (or drag the same link from the top of http://archive.is/ to your toolbar).
 * New external links are being archived constantly, approximately each 30-60 minutes (because there are a lot of wikis and they checked sequentially). So, it seems needless to wait for a click.
 * Rotlink (talk) 13:07, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your answers. Sorry I haven't checked for your reply after 28 of July, so only now I have seen it. I have readed the Template:Query_web_archive and I don't really understand how to use "Your own style sheets". Probably that's the way to create a gadget. The user should be able to activate a gadget which will add after each external link a link to the archive.is archive. That would be awesome. Currently, at Romanian Wikipedia we are using the WikiWix Gadget (made by fr:Utilisateur:Pmartin) which is doing that, but the site (WikiWix) is not working well.
 * And another question: can you also archive automatically the external links which are in the talk pages? For example, at ro:Discuție:Traian Băsescu (talk page of the article about the Romanian president) there are a lot of links containing useful data, waiting to be inserted into the article). Until someone will add the data into the article, it would be very nice to make sure the information is not lost.
 * Thank you. —  Ark25  (talk) 10:01, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * You are right, saving links from the Talk: space can have sense. I will add it soon. Rotlink (talk) 04:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

That's the best news I got in a while! There are many many newspaper articles links gathered in such pages, like for example in ro:Discuție:Nicolae Ceaușescu/Bibliografie suplimentară - the former dictator of Romania, Nicolae Ceauşescu or ro:Discuție Categorie:Revoluția română din 1989 - about Romanian Revolution of 1989. Please, include the category talk pages too (the last example is in a category talk page). Thank you very much! —  Ark25  (talk) 09:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

BRFA withdrawn
Hi! An editor interpreted your BRFA as withdrawn after you removed it from the WP:BRFA page. Just wondering if this is what you intended to do? Thanks. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 19:53, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
