Facebook excerpt banned?

Author and museum director Valentino Valjak posted an excerpt from his cited source book BEŠTE LJUDI - IDE AUTO on the Facebook page of the MUZEJ AUTOMOBILA FERDINAND BUDICKI. While Facebook is an unreliable source, this is an excerpt from a book by the author's personal account. I cited an archive.today snapshot of the page, but had to put a dummy archive.org link as the primary source because Facebook links are not permitted. I personally think an exception should be made in this case. I would prefer to cite a digital copy of the book, e.g. on Archive.org, but it is non-existent. I did provide archived links to a PDF sampler of some pages from the book, so a full PDF must exist in the author's posession. I also own a physical copy of the book, as I am a descendant of Budicki.

Repeated vandalism of Ferdinand Budicki page by InternetArchiveBot

Bad bot keeps repeatedly replacing the source https://archive.org/details/auto-iq-magazin-20.-broj.-20130212 with the broken website https://web.archive.org/web/20160321170157/https://issuu.com/autoiq/docs/autoiqmagazin20, pointing to a broken resource, rather than the carefully collected, humanly-readable and human-curated version of the historical article.

Please can we ban this bot from editing my great-great-grandfather's Wikipedia page?
