Jack Atley Australian Photographer

Please STOP and remove this page from Wikipedia. 'Jack Atley Australian Photographer'. The information is totally wrong, outdated, innacuarate and liable. Jack Atley has not worked as a photographer for 7 years. He is no longer in any way whatsoever associated with photogtaphy. Why - if he hasn't worked in the industry for 7 years - does Wikipedia continue to display a wrong, inaccurate and totally misleading page? Frankanderson101 (talk) 10:02, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Removal of archive links from Ron Mark page

Why did this Bot remove five archived links from Ron Mark on 14 August 2023. They were correctly cited and have been returned. Who controls this Bot??? Realitylink (talk) 07:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I think you understand why they were removed. They were broken due to a syntax error in the URL with "if_" .. see Special:Diff/1170301099/1170395366. When you added them back, you fixed the error see Special:Diff/1170631062/1170631848. You could complain the bot should have known it was an error and fixed it, and the bot does a lot of that, but in my 8 years running this bot I have never seen this kind of syntax error before. It's a case of GIGO (Garbage In / Garbage Out). End result: the links were broken before, now they are working. -- GreenC 15:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Yes, the weird thing is that a while back I read that it is ok to use if_ to remove the bar in Wayback giving a cleaner archived reference. So I did that to hundreds of archived links! Never had an issue until the other day on another page when it said the archived url didn't exist...and then your bot in Mark's page. But I can't find it anywhere in the Wayback information! I did this search:https://www.google.com/search?q=using+if_+in+wayback+machine&rlz=1C1CHZL_enNZ764NZ764&oq=using+&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l2j69i57j0i67i650j69i60l2j69i65j69i60.6753j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Can't track it though! So, will the bot go back and remove all if_ in them?? Sorry if this sounds confusing...Realitylink (talk) 17:31, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Looks like there are only 3 pages with this error: search result. -- GreenC 17:49, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Whoops, I can see that previously I had been putting the if_ directly before the http instead in front of /http. Do you think they will be ok if the if_ is placed there? See the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20161013035813if_/https://www.bwb.co.nz/books/great-war-new-zealand Hopefully they will be ok?Realitylink (talk) 17:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes that is correct, it goes directly after the 14-digit timestamp like you have it there. -- GreenC 17:47, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. So it is ok to carry on doing that...correctly? Appreciate the work you are doing.Realitylink (talk) 18:43, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
