COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler

ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

ArchiveBot's source code can be found at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot.

Comments

Manage Comments

At WordPress.com, you have full control over what comments appear on site’s your posts and pages: you can approve, delete, or edit any comments left on your site. (There are separate support documents with instructions on enabling and disabling comments and controlling who can comment.)

To see and manage comments on your site, log in to WordPress.com, then go to My Site → Comments:

Viewing Your Comments

There are several ways to view and sort your comments. Use the tabs for pending, approved, spam, and trashed comments to filter them:

Each list will show you previews of the comments, to make it easy to scan them quickly. Pending comments — comments that have been submitted, but don’t currently appear on your site — are highlighted in yellow, to make them easy to spot.

An approved comment preview

Clicking anywhere on a preview will expand it to display the full comment.

If your site has lots of comments, the list will be split into pages. You’ll find links to move between pages at the bottom of the list.

Comment Actions

You’ll find all the actions you can take on a comment at the top of the expanded comment. Use these buttons to like/unlike, approve/unapprove, edit, mark as spam, move to trash, or permanently delete comments. (Clicking Like or Approve once will perform those actions; clicking a second time will un-do the action.)

These actions are contextual and change depending on the comment status:

Pending comments: Like, Approve, Edit, Mark as Spam, Move to Trash
Approved comments: Like, Unapprove, Edit, Mark as Spam, Move to Trash
Spam comments: Approve, Delete Permanently
