===IPs unceremoniously stripping out citations with archive.is links===

This morning, I noticed two IPs, {{useranon|185.127.244.160}} and {{useranon|27.4.121.209}}, mass-removing archive.is citations from articles. I don't have time to investigate each citation in hopes of finding suitable replacements, and, because of the blacklist, I can't roll them back either; the best I can do is undo and comment out the offending archive links, which I did on the articles on my watchlist. Is there a better way to handle this? <span style="font-weight:bold">[[User:Rebbing|<span style="background:#f660ab;color:#60f6f6">Rebb</span>]][[User_talk:Rebbing|<span style="background:#60f6f6;color:#f660ab">ing</span>]]</span> 16:48, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

:The better way to handle it is to not add blacklisted links to Wikipedia. Since you were not able to rollback due to the blacklist, I presume that means the pages haven't been given an exception, so anyone is correct to remove them (pending, of course, the outcome of this RfC). &mdash; <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 17:20, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
