patents.com lapsed

patents.com lapsed and is for sale. Searching for insource:"patents.com" shows 25 pages affected. For the one rescue I did, {Cite patent|...} seemed not to work, so I used {cite web|...} to the Google Patents page. (diff)

Before: (URL without {cite...}):

<ref>[http://www.patents.com/Heat-transfer-initiator/US20020035945/en-US/ Heat transfer initiator - US20020035945]. Patents.com. Retrieved on 2010-02-08.</ref>

After: ({cite web|...}):

<ref>{{cite web|title=US patent 20020035945A1, Heat transfer initiator|url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US20020035945A1/en}}</ref> A876 (talk) 21:00, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

There 4 pages that need repair. Can you do it? It is not suitable for a bot request, thank you. -- GreenC 17:49, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Not done - I tried manually, the method doesn't work, at least for those four. -- GreenC 18:10, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

User:David O. Johnson: I can try to change #1 to #2, and if that fails then attempt #1 to #3 as secondary. Archive URL as last resort. -- GreenC 15:42, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Only 25 pages. -- GreenC 15:46, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

There are 27 Blogspot URLs. I was able to convert 18 by bot. The remaining 9 can't be automatically converted because the URL at the new site is different from the original Blogspot. It will require searching for the article title at ISW. I leave it to you, I've done what I can by bot.

missing slash

Some archive URLs have a source URL that is missing a slash for example: https://web.archive.org/web/20190621113030/https:/filmography.bfi.org.uk/person/642186 has only one slash in https:/filmography .. about 1,300 pages.

Done with a wikiget one-line bot:

awk -ilibrary 'BEGIN{IGNORECASE=1}{fp = sys2var("wikiget -w " shquote($0));c=patsplit(fp, field, /https?:\/[a-z]/, sep); for(i=1;i<=c;i++){ sub(/:\//, "://", field[i]) }; if(unpatsplit(field,sep) != fp){ print shquote($0); sys2varPipe(unpatsplit(field,sep), "wikiget -E " shquote($0) " -S " shquote("Fix [[Wikipedia:Link_rot/URL_change_requests#missing_slash|missing slash]]") " -P STDIN")}}' pagelist.txt
