WP:ARCHIVEIS usually gives users a short URL to its archives, but like WebCite, there is actually a "full form" URL available as given in its FAQ. Such "full form" URLs are required by an Rfc.
A quick way to obtain a "full URL" from a short one can be:

Hi GreenC, thanks for your earlier replies and fine tuning to —at least on my reading of your summary— effectively give the original human editor some priority. I do recognise the usefulness of your bot in maintaining these links. As an editor using archives heavily, I'm also interested in seeing the process improved where it can be. So, checking my watchlist today has prompted me to raise another query.
Even though the link added by Green C bot for the Sydney University citation is a more recent capture, it is an inferior version (format-wise and as a reproduction of the orginal web page) compared to the one originally included. The NSW Rugby History citation now has no archive url at all, although the link originally included is still viable. So my query is fourfold:

A tag has been placed on Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hey, I initially read this as a somewhat-off-the-mark reference to my general query thread on VPM. I seriously had no idea what they were about and if I was just going insance thinking it looked like a canvassing forum, until others agreed with me.
If you meant to indicate you are buying into the conspiracy theory some of the project's members have apparently been building up about me, I have to say I'm a little surprised, given that to the best of my recollection our past interactions consisted mainly of you and me both gunning for the deletion of the same articles. My still kinda-sorta ongoing proposal (at the time you wrote that, though not now) was not concerned with closing the project but slightly limiting its potential for abuse. As I said at the top of that VPM thread, I get the idea of pushing to fix the problems of articles that are currently at AFD in theory, but the problem is that it seems, in reality, to primarily primarily allow editors canvas AFD discussions and then not do anything to fix the articles; this is actually completely in line with the stated goals and code of conduct of the project. (The fact that the project is apparently inhabited by a lot of people who fling personal attacks and accusations of bad faith at the drop of a hat is really irrelevant, since I know editors in some of my favourite WikiProjects who would also fit that description.)

Hi. I mentioned Template:Books and Writers and User:GreenC/kirjasto.sci.fi in this comment at an AN thread which arose from an issue with the Olavi Paavolainen article that was raised at User talk:Dr. Blofeld#Copyright problem: Olavi Paavolainen ( permalink). Would you be able to add to the discussions? Carcharoth ( talk) 11:27, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
(When you have time, no rush.) Following on from the above (related to the AWB edits described at User:GreenC/kirjasto.sci.fi), would you be able to give advice on how best to approach dealing with using AWB to replace casualty and cemetery links to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) website with these two templates: {{ CWGC}} and {{ CWGC cemetery}}? Not all the pages on Wikipedia that could or should have such links have them yet, but many do (several thousands). Some of the background, including this bot request to fix broken links, can be seen here. That should be enough to see what I am asking about (but please ask if anything is not clear). On the talk page of that userspace page, I am (slowly!) sorting through the pages and becoming more familiar with the groupings and types of pages. But ultimately I'd like to semi-automate the addition of references - the main stumbling block being using the form of the names as given at the CWGC site. But maybe there are ways to extract the data and use for the parameters for the template. I can probably do that, but it is using AWB that is a bit of a stumbling block. Would you be able to give any advice on all this? Hmm. I have just noticed that User:Bamyers99 is doing a lot of edits on Wikidata relating to this. Maybe they can help (I have pinged them and will drop a note on their talk page). I should maybe move this discussion to the talk page of one of the templates? Carcharoth ( talk) 12:12, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Carcharoth: - looking at an example article it contains the citation
<ref name="CWGC">{{cite web | url=http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/100376/ROBERTS,%20FRANCIS%20BERNARD | title=Francis Bernard Roberts | publisher=Commonwealth Graves Commission | accessdate=21 June 2014}}</ref>
Normally this would be the preferred method as CS1|2 has a full suite of options designed for citations including hidden metadata. The {{ CWGC}} and {{ CWGC cemetery}} would be for non-citations, such as in an external links section. This is how I understand the relationship between CS1|2 and external link templates. The reason is because CS1|2 creates overhead that is not needed for a simple external link so early on there was a split between using CS1|2 for citations, and external link templates for everything else. That's kind of how things are supposed to work, though sometimes users will use CS1|2 for external links, or templates in citations, but I guess there would need to be a good reason for converting a good CS1|2 citation ref into an external link template. -- Green C 16:16, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Iggy the Swan: Yes I see a couple problems. 1) The archive.is URL wouldn't end in "/image" because that goes to the jpg capture of the page which truncates the page, so it would be
http://archive.is/M1iv 2) There would be a |deadurl=yes
since the primary URL is "dead" (inoperable). 3) The archive.is URL is a "soft-404" which means it looks like a working page, but is actually a redirected page and not what is expected. Instead of the article titled "Navy Capability Upgrade Team Inspects New Ship" it's a news index page. So it shouldn't be used at all, and the {{
dead link}}
restored since there is no available archive. Unfortunately archive.is has a lot of soft-404s so need to check carefully it's the page your looking for. --

Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: /info/en/?search=Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{ infobox ship}} is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

WP:ARCHIVEIS usually gives users a short URL to its archives, but like WebCite, there is actually a "full form" URL available as given in its FAQ. Such "full form" URLs are required by an Rfc.
A quick way to obtain a "full URL" from a short one can be:

Hi GreenC, thanks for your earlier replies and fine tuning to —at least on my reading of your summary— effectively give the original human editor some priority. I do recognise the usefulness of your bot in maintaining these links. As an editor using archives heavily, I'm also interested in seeing the process improved where it can be. So, checking my watchlist today has prompted me to raise another query.
Even though the link added by Green C bot for the Sydney University citation is a more recent capture, it is an inferior version (format-wise and as a reproduction of the orginal web page) compared to the one originally included. The NSW Rugby History citation now has no archive url at all, although the link originally included is still viable. So my query is fourfold:

This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Hey, I initially read this as a somewhat-off-the-mark reference to my general query thread on VPM. I seriously had no idea what they were about and if I was just going insance thinking it looked like a canvassing forum, until others agreed with me.
If you meant to indicate you are buying into the conspiracy theory some of the project's members have apparently been building up about me, I have to say I'm a little surprised, given that to the best of my recollection our past interactions consisted mainly of you and me both gunning for the deletion of the same articles. My still kinda-sorta ongoing proposal (at the time you wrote that, though not now) was not concerned with closing the project but slightly limiting its potential for abuse. As I said at the top of that VPM thread, I get the idea of pushing to fix the problems of articles that are currently at AFD in theory, but the problem is that it seems, in reality, to primarily primarily allow editors canvas AFD discussions and then not do anything to fix the articles; this is actually completely in line with the stated goals and code of conduct of the project. (The fact that the project is apparently inhabited by a lot of people who fling personal attacks and accusations of bad faith at the drop of a hat is really irrelevant, since I know editors in some of my favourite WikiProjects who would also fit that description.)

Hi. I mentioned Template:Books and Writers and User:GreenC/kirjasto.sci.fi in this comment at an AN thread which arose from an issue with the Olavi Paavolainen article that was raised at User talk:Dr. Blofeld#Copyright problem: Olavi Paavolainen ( permalink). Would you be able to add to the discussions? Carcharoth ( talk) 11:27, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
(When you have time, no rush.) Following on from the above (related to the AWB edits described at User:GreenC/kirjasto.sci.fi), would you be able to give advice on how best to approach dealing with using AWB to replace casualty and cemetery links to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) website with these two templates: {{ CWGC}} and {{ CWGC cemetery}}? Not all the pages on Wikipedia that could or should have such links have them yet, but many do (several thousands). Some of the background, including this bot request to fix broken links, can be seen here. That should be enough to see what I am asking about (but please ask if anything is not clear). On the talk page of that userspace page, I am (slowly!) sorting through the pages and becoming more familiar with the groupings and types of pages. But ultimately I'd like to semi-automate the addition of references - the main stumbling block being using the form of the names as given at the CWGC site. But maybe there are ways to extract the data and use for the parameters for the template. I can probably do that, but it is using AWB that is a bit of a stumbling block. Would you be able to give any advice on all this? Hmm. I have just noticed that User:Bamyers99 is doing a lot of edits on Wikidata relating to this. Maybe they can help (I have pinged them and will drop a note on their talk page). I should maybe move this discussion to the talk page of one of the templates? Carcharoth ( talk) 12:12, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
@ Carcharoth: - looking at an example article it contains the citation
<ref name="CWGC">{{cite web | url=http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/100376/ROBERTS,%20FRANCIS%20BERNARD | title=Francis Bernard Roberts | publisher=Commonwealth Graves Commission | accessdate=21 June 2014}}</ref>
Normally this would be the preferred method as CS1|2 has a full suite of options designed for citations including hidden metadata. The {{ CWGC}} and {{ CWGC cemetery}} would be for non-citations, such as in an external links section. This is how I understand the relationship between CS1|2 and external link templates. The reason is because CS1|2 creates overhead that is not needed for a simple external link so early on there was a split between using CS1|2 for citations, and external link templates for everything else. That's kind of how things are supposed to work, though sometimes users will use CS1|2 for external links, or templates in citations, but I guess there would need to be a good reason for converting a good CS1|2 citation ref into an external link template. -- Green C 16:16, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Iggy the Swan: Yes I see a couple problems. 1) The archive.is URL wouldn't end in "/image" because that goes to the jpg capture of the page which truncates the page, so it would be
http://archive.is/M1iv 2) There would be a |deadurl=yes
since the primary URL is "dead" (inoperable). 3) The archive.is URL is a "soft-404" which means it looks like a working page, but is actually a redirected page and not what is expected. Instead of the article titled "Navy Capability Upgrade Team Inspects New Ship" it's a news index page. So it shouldn't be used at all, and the {{
dead link}}
restored since there is no available archive. Unfortunately archive.is has a lot of soft-404s so need to check carefully it's the page your looking for. --

Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: /info/en/?search=Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{ infobox ship}} is parsed).

Please read the section in the article about Michael R. Caputo for his paid consulting with the Kremlin and its control of Russian media which was occurring at the same time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.214.86 ( talk) 05:34, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
The lenta.ru article about Gazprom contains a useful timeline of events that were not positive for Putin's image. Guisinsky's media companies were highly critical of Putin and Caputo was hired as a consultant to improve Putin's image at this time.
− Gazprom article from lenta.ru I have been adding some useful references for the Gazprom Media article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.214.86 ( talk) 05:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
It appears you are doing original research trying to connect these individuals. Also what is lenta.ru? This kind of looks like a Wikipedia article redone, though I can't be sure. There's no author, a random collection of facts, heavily footnoted.

You can see direct similarities in sentence structure and chosen facts. I would be wary of using it as a direct source. -- Green C 14:07, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
This source and this source provide much insight among the Kremlin, Putin, Lesin, Guisinsky, Gazprom, Gazprom Media, and others. Through Gazprom Media, the article about Michael R. Caputo puts him as a paid Kremlin advisor among these. Caputo was paid to improve Putin's image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.214.86 ( talk) 20:57, 9 May 2018 (UTC) Please visit Lenta.ru for information about that site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.214.86 ( talk) 21:01, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Anton Nossik, the creator of Russian online news, suspiciously died in July 2017. He was very critical of Putin and the Kremlin. Please review and visit the footnotes in Lenta.ru. He started Lenta.ru. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.214.86 ( talk) 21:08, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi there GreenC, I was pulling various user reports looking to nominate some editors for RFA and you hit most of my check boxes. Are you interested? The only real (super super minor) negative on my list is that your talk page needs some archiving :D. I suspect there are some co-nominators still lined up above. Please let me know if you would like thrown your name in the hat. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 19:03, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
