These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
This is a collection of web page captures from links added to, or changed on, Wikipedia pages. The idea is to bring a reliability to Wikipedia outlinks so that if the pages referenced by Wikipedia articles are changed, or go away, a reader can permanently find what was originally referred to.

Not so fast, Herr Vavasseur. I said that UltraMantis Black had become the focus of my attention. I said that
I would face UltraMantis, and I am a man of honor.

But I did not agree to face him in a singles match at "High Noon." Not verbally, not in writing, and not to you.
When I face UltraMantis Black again, it will be on my terms.

Mantis, you need to learn that every war has its casualties. Not every general comes back from battle. Remember this -
it is one thing to make war with a man, or an army, or a nation. It is something else to make war with a god.
I am called Ares for a reason.
