Frequently Asked Questions

Doesn't something like this already exist? What about CrossRef, Google or the Wayback Machine?

WebCite Frequently Asked Questions
No. While systems such as Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and CrossRef ensure the stability of cross-links to other journal articles and other materials carrying a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), this does not ensure that cited non-journal webpages which do not have a DOI (for example links to questionnaires on the web, research reports, quotes from homepages etc.) will remain accessible to readers.

WebCite Frequently Asked Questions
No. While systems such as Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and CrossRef ensure to a certain degree the stability of cross-links to other journal articles and other materials carrying a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), cited non-journal webpages (for example links to questionnaires on the web, research reports, quotes from homepages etc.) do not usually have a DOI. To assign a DOI, a document has to be stable, and it must be formally "published".

Can I link to old pages on the Wayback Machine?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! The Wayback Machine is built so that it can be used and referenced. If you find an archived page that you would like to reference on your Web page or in an article, you can copy the URL. You can even use fuzzy URL matching and date specification... but that's a bit more advanced.

How does the Wayback Machine behave with Javascript turned off?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
If you have Javascript turned off, images and links will be from the live web, not from our archive of old Web files. Not every date for every site archived is 100% complete. When you are surfing an incomplete archived site the Wayback Machine will grab the closest available date to the one you are in for the links that are missing. In the event that we do not have the link archived at all, the Wayback Machine will look for the link on the live web and grab it if available.

How do I cite Wayback Machine urls in MLA format?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
This question is a newer one. We asked MLA to help us with how to cite an archived URL in correct format. They did say that there is no established format for resources like the Wayback Machine, but it's best to err on the side of more information. You should cite the webpage as you would normally, and then give the Wayback Machine information. They provided the following example: McDonald, R. C. "Basic Canary Care." _Robirda Online_. 12 Sept. 2004. 18 Dec. 2006 . _Internet Archive_.

That doesn't make any sense; how can God tell you he doesn't exist?

Jhuger - About
You'll believe in talking snakes, a magic cracker that turns into godmeat that's extra-special magic god meat because it still tastes like a cracker, and even that 1 + 1 + 1 = 1, but you just can't cope with something that acts without existing. Interesting.

Q. Is it like a smith machine?

ProSpot Fitness - Frequently Asked Questions
Not even close! Smith machines ‘track’ the barbell in a single plane, with no side-to-side or front-and-back movement. This forces you to workout with an unnatural lifting movement and limits the type of exercises that you can do on a smith machine. Also, locking the bar on a smith machine is not an automatic operation, you have to do it manually. ProSpot Fitness free-weight systems allow you to use a barbell unrestricted by sliding tracks or any other conventional constraints.
