    If I'm looking for an article that used to be on starwars.com long, long ago and was not archived automatically by archive.org, which subforum is the right place to ask such a question?

    Thanks in advance. :)

    It depends. What kind of article, exactly?

    I'm editing a page on Wookiepedia and there's an article provided among references, that I never read; so I was wondering if somebody had saved it back in the day, or if they at least know what it is.

    Thanks for such a quick response!

    Which Wookieepedia article and which reference? If you need it for the purpose of editing Wookieepedia, you could also ask about it in Wookieepedia's Senate Hall forum. Some Wookieepedians have saved copies of old articles that pertain to their areas of interest, and there's a chance one of them might be able to send it to you.

    I would think if the article is book or comic-related then Literature would be the best place to ask.

    I don't like the lack of communication on Wookipedia, overall, and whenever I ask a question, I feel like an elephant in a glass shop. Literally. People are reserved, to the point of ridiculousness.


    The thing is - I don't know what it's about. This is what its URL used to be:
    http://www.starwars.com/hyperspace/member/photoreceptor/2004/11/photoreceptor20041101.html

    And the title is, apparently, "Payback for Artoo".

    I think I've found the image for you. Looks like it was part of a Hyperspace collection of rarely-seen images. It's pretty small and the site is in Spanish so you might need Google Translate. Scroll down til you see 'Nombre: Payback for Artoo'.

    SithNET .

    Here's a Wiki article on the Photoreceptor series with a list.

    I started learning Spanish in April, so I understand it to a certain extent. :) Thank you so much!

    And now I don't see why the whoever-authored-the-article put that as a reference, as it's not something that makes sense to reference. But that's another story.

    My case is resolved, and I'm sorry that the discussion went on in this subforum, but ohwell.
