The emboldened blue above that says "found here" is indeed the link to the Wikipedia archive

The link was easily visible and accessible at the top part of your comment, very nice.

that I painstakenly copied

I appreciate the effort, I still think the comments area is best suited for comments while linking to content instead of including it allows for easier conversations.

Sorry to hear you found it painstakingly. Perhaps it's your technique? I manually select the main content of a wiki article instead of "Select all". Then a bit of formatting and done! Not that bad at all.

It seems like a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

As long as other people exist, so will differing opinions

Me, right now

What works for me is something like "Thanks for the feedback, but this is how I want it. Go make your own if you're not satisfied".
