(note: this last one is blacklisted on enwp, iirc). I
revived few deadlinks (not this host though) from these archives.
And try to make habit of archiving websites when you cite something. I
think I once saw a project to automatically archive citation source links
but not sure about current status.

There's a point to be made there: Libraries in
some countries are still
being destroyed (see
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jan/28/mali-timbuktu-library-ancient-…
and
http://elaph.com/Web/Culture/2015/2/985403.html or
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/isis-burns-8000-rare-books-030900856.html),
and although there's an effort to save them, it's not an effort we're
really involved with. That's before we even start on how to reflect a
reference to a non-existent book on Wikipedia!
But to get back to the original point, a semi-automated effort might be the
best way (if the slowest) to get these web pages linked properly again.

Yes, if you forget
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_the_Library_of_Alexandria.
Well of course that was some 1700 years ago. You are equating a event of
millennial proportion with something that happens every day? Get a grip
on
reality.
