I once found the info / help page on how to use the three possible website archives, like Internet Archive / web.archive.org, but now trying to search the help pages for either "Internet Archive" or "archive.org" gives me lots of results, but none of these seem to be the one page I once found. Since it happens frequently that a page once existed and was accessible with its original URL, it happens regularly that the host no longer has the original URL.
I don't recall what the bot was named which finds such URLs by itself (could be giftbot²), because that way I was able to do some edits since I used the infobox of that bot (it places these info on the talkpage) to find the needed info (since not always the bot suggested web.archive.org is the one that should be used. I think the info of how to use these website archives should be easily found in the wikipedia:Help area. Cheers Dietmar Lettau ( talk) 00:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
i have posted a user comment to this post called 'Removing Posts' and is drawn from personal experience. I seems to have disappeared. Can you tell me where I can find it or what has happened to it? It needs the image uploading, which I couldn't seem to achieve.

I'm afraid it's probably the "personal experience" part. Articles on Wikipedia are based on reliable published sources for verifiablilty. Britmax ( talk) 11:46, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

I was sent a message, which I could not reply to because it is a semi-locked account. He decided to change an edit I made, which I had received confirmation from a personal source. However, I could not reply to him because of that. Please address as to why he can edit, message, and tell me how wrong I am but it does not allow for me to do the same. My information did not violate any copyrights and it was verifiable, especially within a few seconds of change from the major networks, even though i have verified sources with my background.

Thank you both for your responses. I understand the concept of sourcing, I do it everyday. I did not know about the Reply HTML code. This will help, anytime I tried to access talk to chat with him, it said his profile was Semi-protected and the autoconfirm had to be completed, it wasn't a matter of me editing his page, just trying to message him. There needs to be some way to unlock his profile if he provide a message to message him in return, but keep any information about him other un-editable or editable with approval, meaning it only goes live once they have reviewed and approved the edit to their own page. Just suggestions.

Hi Wiki-peeps! I want to create an entry for One World Cafe in Halifax. It was a popular community center and award-winning music venue. https://www.facebook.com/OneWorldCafeHalifax/ Unfortunately, another business in Utah is already catalogued under that name. What can I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.192.89.165 ( talk) 18:24, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
In a sockpuppeting investigation case, is it appropriate to send a message requesting comment (if relevant by first-hand experience) to the talk page of the latest editors involved in conflictive discussion with an editor now subject to SPI? Thanks Iñaki LL ( talk) 21:25, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
So I was changing the citations on this article from a long form to a short form, specifically the "harvnb" style. At first everything seemed to be working smoothly, but now I'm getting multiple errors about names not being defined and <ref[/]> tags missing, even though everything is, to my knowledge, defined and clearly there. This occurred suddenly at this edit. Any help would be appreciated. Indy beetle ( talk) 21:32, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
