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.
10/30/2012:
CHIKARA fans consider themselves the smartest of all wrestling fans. They know what comic book covers CHIKARA
bases the DVD covers off of. They think they know the in's and out's of the company. They know what Wink's going
to do before Wink knows what he's going to do. I know...I read CHIKARA101.com. When I finish reading it, I have to
turn my computer monitor off and slam my head into it a couple times to make sure the brain cells I lost reading
their idiotic ideas and thoughts didn't make me a completely brain-dead fool.

The short term memory of CHIKARA fans is another thing that amazes me. You can remember who won with this
submission move in 2005 on the exact date somebody else won with the same submission move in 2008 and
"THERE'S A LINK THERE! I BET YOU SOLDIER ANT USED THE CHIKARA SPECIAL THERE BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TO IT!" Or he
used the CHIKARA Special because it's a successful move that's won him championships against everyone but the
BDK and GEKIDO. All the things you remember...yet you seem to forget the actual important things.

Like Wink would not be running CHIKARA right now if it wasn't for YOU. You demanded Dieter be replaced by
someone. While Dieter's job was on the line, you complained (to the same man you now complain about) about
the BDK and that Dieter was being unfair to YOUR favorite CHIKARA wrestlers. You said he was messing everything up.
You said he had to go. And the man assigned to the job of assessing the situation listened and reported back to his
superiors. What happened then? The best Director of Fun in company history was deposed. And through some arcane
magic I certainly don't understand, this unqualified nutjob took his place. Can anyone explain to me what qualifies
Wink Vavasseur to preside over a wrestling organization?

Now you want me to replace Wink? You were the reason I was fired from CHIKARA all those years ago!
You booed me every time I walked through the curtain, when all I did was my job. You think I'm here to help the fans?
I'm here to cure the chaos that Wink has brought to CHIKARA because of YOU. YOU created the problem. You made people
like "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush and "The Last of a Dying Breed" Eddie Kingston think they were above people and
gave them the ability to act Holier Than Thou. When Mike Quackenbush wrenched 17's ankle in Indianapolis ending his career, the whole
crowd gave him a standing ovation and called for more. Eddie Kingston disrespects the man in charge, and you laugh
like it's a sitcom.
You're using Wink as the scapegoat for the real problem with CHIKARA: the CHIKARMY. You are as ignorant and bloodthirsty as
wrestling fans come, and if you know where I've worked, then you know I've seen the worst.
You disagree with Wink and call for his head. You want me to replace him. We all know what's
going to happen if I take his job. I disagree with you and you'll call for my head as well. I don't want to appease
you. I'm not going to go on a campaign for your support or try to sell $5 buttons and beg and plead for your
approval. I don't need it.
I know what I can do for CHIKARA. I can make it bigger than Wink can. What I don't
need is the support of lowlife fans who love you one minute and hate you the next. You're like a tankful of
developmentally-disabled goldfish. Along with a majority of the
CHIKARA roster, you're the biggest hypocrites in professional wrestling today. You cheer your "heroes," but let me
tell you something: there are no such things as heroes. Maybe in the comic books and video games you play, but
not in real life. You make me out to be the villain because you want things neatly divided up in your little cartoon
fantasy. That's a familiar construct to you. But that doesn't work in real life. In real life,
when someone goes off the deep end, you don't give them a standing ovation. In real life, when his partner
stands up to him, you don't boo him. Only the CHIKARA goldfish swimming around in their tank think that's acceptable.
