Regular verification and updating of gazetteer HTML resource pages in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has been run for the period through 6am EDT on 2025-11-04. Today we checked 54 recently created or updated Pleiades place resources and their subordinate components. Of these, the Wayback Machine reported that its copies of 53 of these web pages were missing or out-of-date. We requested updates with new snapshots for all of them and 39 of them were successfully updated after which the Wayback machine API error rate caused our script to stop attempting further checks and updates. Updates that failed or that were left unattempted will be tried again at the end of the month.

The Pleiades Linked Data Sidebar code is now parsing Pleiades links from Kiesling, Brady. ToposText – a Reference Tool for Greek Civilization. Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation, 2016. https://topostext.org/.

As of today's first pass at the data provided by Brady, 5,776 unique Pleiades place resources now display inbound ToposText links in their sidebars. 3,318 of these links are reciprocated by Pleiades, meaning a gold star appears in next to the link in the sidebar and users will find that same link in the "References" section of the Pleiades place resource. As-yet-unreciprocated links that could be double-checked and added by Pleiades contributors may be found on GitHub in a CSV file or an equivalent JSON file.
