What are the MIT stable links/ JSTOR stable? Is there a pledge/fund that ensures they won't delete URLs to papers/online appendixes?

After short research I couldn't clarify this. Diceypoo (talk) 11:27, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on JSTOR. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110724043722/http://www.justice.gov/usao/ma/news/2011/July/SwartzAaronPR.html to http://www.justice.gov/usao/ma/news/2011/July/SwartzAaronPR.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
• If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be removed: "Internet activist Aaron Swartz noted that by limiting access to the knowledge produced at public universities and financed by the US government and students, JSTOR was earning billions of US dollars each year to for-profit corporations that did not invest in any of these public works. Instead of benefiting the creators of the knowledge or its sponsors, JSTOR secured multi-billion dollar profits for private publishers, by repackaging their publications in academic databases that university libraries pay thousands of dollars to subscribe to, so that their students can access the content.[22]"

Explanation of issue: Hello, I am employed by JSTOR. We noticed that the information above is incorrect and we would like to clarify it for correction. We are happy to discuss with any of the editors further, and look forward to working together.

The information in the above paragraph does not reflect the information in the cited article, and misrepresents facts. JSTOR is a digital library that provides access to academic journals, ebooks, images, and primary sources. As a not-for-profit, the claim that JSTOR brings about “multi-billion dollar profits” either to itself or to publishers is wrong.

JSTOR licenses its content from the publishers themselves. Our fees go to pay the publishers and to digitize more content, apply metadata and OCR, deliver it on the platform, and preserve it for future users.

Unlike the claim in the entry, the content in JSTOR is not financed by the US government, and any content in JSTOR that was originally open access remains open access. The person who wrote that section of this article in Wikipedia may have confused us with PACER, the repository for federal judicial documents that is mentioned in the citation but has no relation to JSTOR.

We propose removing the text above, as the rest of the section outlines the case.

Hello Themanfromstarwars. I have removed the content at your request because it was poorly sourced. I do believe the text removed should be kept, but as for now, it's not verifiable. So for now, that part is removed, may come back if good sources come.

Also, if you were paid or are being paid to contribute to wikipedia, you are required to disclose who is paying you per the Wikimedia Foundation terms of service.
