Archive links

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Archiving_a_source This is a link to the policy on adding archives, since I'm being reverted. The editor asked me where it's encouraged. It's here, where it says, "Editors are encouraged to add a archive link to each new citation." Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 17:06, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes, but that's when the citation is created, one at a time, and doesn't imply massive bot runs that only add to clutter and don't facilitate the creation of the actual archives, which is done according to the original link being placed. Dhtwiki (talk) 20:37, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

@Dhtwiki: I was going to start a new discussion after you reverted my edit, but I see that you did the same thing a year ago. I don't understand why you would call archive links useless links, they are future-proof and highly beneficial as a preventative measure to avoid WP:LINKROT. In fact, WP:ARCHIVEEARLY states, To ensure link accessibility and stability, please consider pre-emptively adding an archive URL from an an archive source such as the Internet Archive or WebCite. There's a reason why the parameter |url-status= exists, and adding in archives does no harm to the article. While not an official requirement, I've seen many GA and FA reviewers ask for all sources to be archived, so this is clearly good practice. This is literally the first time I've seen opposition to adding archived URLs. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:24, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

@InfiniteNexus: I've never seen reviewers ask for links to be archived. Usually there's too much else of concern, but it could happen; and if it does, a review is apt to be a place where those links are checked for relevancy. Did you check each of the 120 links you added for such correctness. I wouldn't have reverted if there hadn't been so many, with so much extra markup added, which adds to download time and to the time it takes to set up the data structure that must be constantly scanned for mouseover events. My initial objection was to the visual clutter they add when editing in raw mode. The bot, when it runs itself, only adds links when it determines that the original has died. I think that that's a better indication of what good practice should be. Dhtwiki (talk) 05:10, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

We're supposed to accommodate readers, not accomodate ourselves. InfiniteNexus (talk) 15:39, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

How are you accommodating readers by adding to their download and rendering times, without any certain increase in substantiating the text? Dhtwiki (talk) 23:26, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Page size is far more impacted by other factors than archive links. Bots running archive tasks after links go dead are prone to errors and it may not be possible to fully recover the information; being proactive is good practice (especially since the vast majority of links will absolutely go dead even in the shorter timeframe.) That it makes things for you less convenient is not really a valid reason to revert someone's edits. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 19:55, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dhtwiki: Do you have a response? Because we now have at least three editors supporting this change. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:30, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Samurai Kung fu Cowboy quotes a policy that says: "Editors are encouraged to add a archive link to each new citation." That indicates one-at-a-time creation by editors creating the original citations when they are *new*, and, hopefully, reviewing the archive snapshot. It doesn't mention bot runs across *old* citations at all.

Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talks of "other factors" impacting size more. However, 21k is considerable, especially if it isn't justified. Bots are running archive tasks *at the archive site* *before the links go dead*, in any case. All you're adding is the link; you're not causing the archiving to take place. And, my convenience isn't to be considered representative of others', even though page clutter isn't my only concern?

You talk of "future-proof", which I think isn't necessarily so. There could be take-downs by copyright holders, or the archive site itself could go dead. If that doesn't happen, the links should be there for your use when links do die. That is, after you, preferably, investigate the source for continued relevancy or look for a better original link, which are often to be found when, say, websites are merely reorganized. Dhtwiki (talk) 02:12, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

I still don't get why this is the hill you're fighting on: a potential 4% boost in total HTML page size. Either way, if you really want to start an RfC about this, you're welcome to do so. Otherwise, I recommend not reverting someone the next time they try and archive the page's references. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 03:02, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm fighting on this "hill" because I'm seeing something that degrades articles without there being justification for doing so, and I'm not seeing my understanding of guidelines or my assumptions about article degradation being refuted. You "recommend" that I generally not revert as I've done here? On what basis? I often do not revert, when the links amount to only a small addition, but do that for reasons of practicality (e.g. avoiding contentious argument over really small matters), not because smaller additions are essentially more justified. How are you arriving at a figure of a 4% increase in HTML page size? The only way I get close to 21k being only a 4% increase is dividing that figure by 540k, which is my measure of the article's total HTML size, which supposes that 21k is representative of the HTML it generates, which strikes me as unlikely. As far as an RfC, I've thought of it, at least to clarify the wording of the guidelines being referred to. However, discussions that I've had at, say, the bot operators' noticeboard, tell me that there may be little support, as too many people want to think that they're helping by running IABot this way. However, if the three of you are adamant, I'm willing to have the archive links added back, which can still be done, by undoing my edit, the last I checked, without conceding that that is in any way helpful, except to put this matter to rest.

Are you saying that you don't want to start an RFC because you think you're in the minority? InfiniteNexus (talk) 20:12, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Not so much a minority, but not part of an overwhelming consensus that sees things as I do. Before I'd start an RfC, I'd start a discussion to see what support there is, at, say, Village Pump (Policy). In previous discussions I've had, esp. on, say, the bot noticeboards, there hasn't been an overwhelming support for change, but the bot operators themselves (mostly?) seem to be in agreement with my stance, which is why I'm fairly confident of it. An actual RfC, if I'm not sure of support, would be a waste of time. On the other hand, does there need to be a change in the guidelines? As I've tried to explain, there isn't any guideline that supports these massive bot runs, just a misreading of those already in place, which might stand some clarification.

For what it's worth I still think adding archives is preferable. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 05:34, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 September 2021

Hi, this request is just to add Universal Pictures as the production company of the film. Jurassic Park was co-produced by Amblin and Universal, and distributed by Universal. The Globe Company served both as producer and film distibutor. Thanks. 92.184.117.155 (talk) 15:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 16:37, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Paltrow

The article says that Gwyneth Paltrow auditioned for the role of Ellie. The source doesn't seem super reliable, and it's hard to believe that a 19-year-old was seriously auditioning to play a paleobotanist. Seems more likely she would have auditioned for Lex. Does anyone have a more solid source? ShorinBJ (talk) 09:39, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

The HuffPost article partially cites IMDB, which isn't a reliable source. That said, the screen tests referenced in the article are are out there and exist; you could just cite the original Today show where they were shown and it'd be functionally the same for verifiability purposes.
