That would be the most reliable way to set up the partnership emijrp
proposes. And it's certainly a good idea. Figuring out how to make
it work for almost all editors and make it spam-proof may be
interesting.

Are people who clean up dead links taking the time to check Internet

I actually proposed some form of Wikimedia / IArchive link
collaboration some years ago to a friend who worked there at the time;
however, they left shortly afterwards.
I like SJ's particular idea. Who has current contacts with Brewster
