The Christ Family (cult) update
Found this mention in a story from Waco about the Branch Davidians (while the crisis was ongoing)
Urban dictionary entry

Jesse Amen, a California man who slipped past law officers and entered the compound March 26, was being held in McLennan County jail Monday on a charge of interfering with the duty of a police officer. He also is being held without bond as a material witness, a jail spokeswoman said.
Goes on to mention the cult and more. Archive.org version (support archive.org)
Swensen said 40-year-old Amen told authorities his father’s name is Lord Lightning Amen. He said he has brothers named David, Jacob and Abraham.
Whether Lord Lightning Amen is the 40-year-old man’s father is uncertain, but the Press-Enterprise in Riverside, Calif. say a man who goes by Lightning Amen was a one-time cult leader convicted of possession and transportation of methamphetamines.

Toil not - Christ Family members arrived and were quickly asked to move on in the second week of July 1981. The founder of the group was a man named Charles Franklin McHugh who wandered out of the California desert one day and dubbed himself Jesus Christ Lightning Amen.

How to update saved data using Archive.org
Something not found on Wikipedia
I just archived a blog entry, and most of the sources used.
If something is not found on archive.org, it's easy to save it. But what about updating a changed page? Not found on Wikipedia.

Antev’s Altithermal (the climate period discovered and named by Ernst Valdemar Antevs)
This one is a little hard to believe, but not only is there no entry, the redirect for Altithermal doesn't mention Antevs at all.
And of course no mention of the period named for him on Antevs page
This one is pretty easy because many good sources exist online.
In 1948, Antevs published the 3-part Neothermal Climatic Sequence based on the Great Basin lake histories and on Great Basin arroyo geomorphology. This chronology preceded Libby's radiocarbon dating, and was based on Swedish Varve Chronology. The term "Altithermal" remains a central feature in Southwestern archaeological chronologies.
- Medithermal 0 - 4500
- Altithermal (hot-dry) 4500 - 7000
- Anathermal 7000 - 10,150

The 2007-2009 Kumburgaz Turkey UFO videos (and surrounding events)
This one is not only NOT on Wikipedia, it probably can't be found there. Ever. And unlike most entries here, this one is certainly reasonable to leave out of an online database of pretty much everything notable.
Because nobody, and I mean nobody who has posted anything online, knows what is the truth about it.
No blog or forum seems to have an answer
http://turkeyufocase.blogspot.com/
http://brainexplor.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-turkey-ufo-alien-case.html
Even the debunking of it isn't satisfying.
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/2008-ufo-footage-from-turkey.9844/page-5
The claims run from total bunk, fraud, a clever scam, to actual video of aliens in a flying saucer of some sort.
For someone like myself, not knowing is mildly irritating. After 14 years it seems we may never know what it was, how it was done, or anything else.
