You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In [[web archiving]], an '''archive site''' is a [[website]] that stores information on webpages from the past for anyone to view.

==Common techniques==
Two common techniques for archiving websites are using a [[web crawler]] or soliciting user submissions:

# '''Using a [[web crawler]]''': By using a web crawler (e.g., the [[Internet Archive]]) the service will not depend on an active community for its content, and thereby can build a larger database faster. However, web crawlers are only able to index and archive information the public has chosen to post to the Internet, or that is available to be crawled, as website developers and system administrators have the ability to block web crawlers from accessing [certain] web pages (using a [[Robots Exclusion Standard|robots.txt]]).
# '''User submissions''': While it can be difficult to start user submission services due to potentially low rates of user submissions, this system can yield some of the best results. By crawling web pages one is only able to obtain the information the public has chosen to post online; however, potential content providers may not bother to post certain information, assuming no one would be interested in it, because they lack a proper venue in which to post it, or because of copyright concerns.<ref>((cite news|url=http://dlib.org/dlib/march12/niu/03niu1.html|journal=D-Lib Magazine| date=March–April 2012 |
 volume =18| number =3/4| title=An Overview of Web Archiving |author=Jinfang Niu, University of South Florida|doi=10.1045/march2012-niu1))</ref> However, users who see someone wants their information may be more apt to submit it.

==Examples==

===Google Groups===
On 12 February 2001, [[Google]] acquired the [[usenet]] discussion group archives from [[Deja.com]] and turned it into their [[Google Groups]] service.<ref>((cite web |title=Google Acquires Usenet Discussion Service and Significant Assets from Deja.com |date=12 February 2001 |url=https://googlepress.blogspot.com/2001/02/google-acquires-usenet-discussion.html ))</ref> They allow users to search old discussions with Google's search technology, while still allowing users to post to the [[mailing list]]s.

===Internet Archive===
The [[Internet Archive]] is building a compendium of websites and [[digital media]]. Starting in 1996, the Archive has been employing a web crawler to build up their database. It is one of the best known archive sites.

===NBCUniversal Archives===
[[NBCUniversal Archives]] offer access to exclusive content from [[NBCUniversal]] and its subsidiaries. Their NBCUniversal Archives website provides easy viewing of past and recent news clips, and it is a prime example of a news archive.<ref>[http://www.nbcuniversalarchives.com/nbcuni/home.do NBCUniversal Archives]</ref>

===Nextpoint===
[[Nextpoint]] offers an automated [[Cloud computing|cloud]]-based, [[Software as a service|SaaS]] for marketing, compliance, and litigation related needs including electronic discovery.

===PANDORA Archive===
PANDORA ([[Pandora Archive]]), founded in 1996 by the National Library of [[Australia]], stands for Preserving and Accessing Networked Documentary Resources of Australia, which encapsulates their mission. They provide a long-term catalog of select online publications and web sites authored by Australians or that are of an Australian topic. They employ their PANDAS (PANDORA Digital Archiving System) when building their catalog.

===textfiles.com===
[[textfiles.com]] is a large library of old text files maintained by [[Jason Scott Sadofsky]]. Its mission is to archive the old documents that had floated around the [[bulletin board systems]] (BBS) of his youth and to document other people's experiences on the bulletin board systems.
