These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
This is a collection of web page captures from links added to, or changed on, Wikipedia pages. The idea is to bring a reliability to Wikipedia outlinks so that if the pages referenced by Wikipedia articles are changed, or go away, a reader can permanently find what was originally referred to.

LM completes C-5M upgrades for US Air Force
Gareth Jennings, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
07 August 2018
Lockheed Martin has completed a 20-year effort to upgrade 52 of the US Air Force’s (USAF) C-5A/B/C Galaxy strategic transport aircraft to the C-5M standard.
The last of 52 C-5M Galaxy airlifters departed the Marietta production facility on 2 August, some 20-years after the upgrade programme was first launched. (Lockheed Martin)
The company announced on 6 August that the last aircraft to go through the USAF’s final Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program (RERP) phase left the Marietta production facility in Georgia four-days prior.
The C-5M programme began in 1998, and involved a two-phased upgrade under the Avionics Modernisation Programme (AMP) and Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Programme (RERP) efforts. All C-5B and C-5C aircraft went through both the AMP and RERP processes to be designated C-5Ms, while those C-5A aircraft with enough airframe life underwent the AMP only.
The upgrades being retrofitted to the C-5 fleet under the AMP and RERP greatly increase both the performance and safety margins of the aircraft. In terms of performance, replacing the General Electric (GE) TF39-GE-1C turbofans with new GE CF6-80C2 commercial engines (military designation F108-GE-100) has added 22% more thrust, or the equivalent of fitting a fifth engine. This gives the air force the ability to take off with more cargo and fuel to give a 20% increase in range with a greatly increased payload and means that the cargo delivery rate for the C-5M is increased by more than 50% over the legacy-variant Galaxies. The safety margin is also increased as the new engines are significantly more reliable, with a 20% improvement in the in-flight shutdown rate.
