This looks like a solid organization. Solid in the sense that it wont go suddenly offline.
Such links may be valuable for: - article references to sources, in case the source goes offline - article references to sources, in case thesource changes its content - media copies when the source changes or removes a license
I took a look at the example in the french wiki, and didnt spot a date in the archive reference. If the source changes its content, this may pose a problem.
kind regards, teun

Hi all;
I want to make a proposal about external links preservation. Many times, when you check an external link or a link reference, the website is dead or offline. This websites are important, because they are the sources for the facts showed in the articles. Internet Archive searches for interesting websites to save in their hard disks, so, we can send them our external links sql tables (all projects and languages of course). They improve their database and we always have a copy of the sources text to check when needed.
I think that this can be a cool partnership.
