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.

For the last two weeks, I have spent a lot of time thinking about UltraMantis Black. Certainly much more time than
I enjoyed spending thinking about this bacillus. But that’s what great commanders do. They don’t just run onto the
battlefield head-on. No, no, no, a good commander plans, strategizes, and constantly thinks about all the possible
moves of the enemy. I anticipate your every move, UltraMantis Black, and I have a counterstrike for every idea your
wicked mind can conjure.

But there’s one thing that separates a great commander from a merely good commander: the ability to plan a great
flank attack. Catch the enemy off guard. Plan a swift assault that might easily change not only the battle, but the
whole war. I have a few such plans, and I’m not going to reveal all of them. But I have one I cannot wait any longer
to announce. I will agree to face UltraMantis Black at "High Noon" as the world watches on
November 13th...but only in a tag team match. And since you cannot be trusted to abide by the rules anyway,
I think a match with no disqualification is in order here as well.

As the leader of a group called the Brotherhood, this should surprise no one. We are a band
of brothers that know the strength of numbers. And while I would truly savor humiliating UltraMantis
all by myself, I can’t risk anything. I will not be in that ring all by myself, so you can cowardly attack me like
you did in Manhattan. I will have one of my loyal soldiers with me, and together as a team, we will be victorious.
I will not drive you out, nuisance, but I will humble you before the world.
You say you want the Eye of Tyr Mantis? I returned the Eye to its resting place a year ago and with good cause.
Why on Earth would I give it to you? You haven't the wealth to mingle in the circles I frequent. What could you
possibly offer me to make such an idea anything other than laughable?
