Here's the Archive's on-demand service:

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.

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.

Are people who clean up dead links taking the time to check Internet
Archive to se if the page in question is there?

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
Kahle or someone else over there?
