Wikipedia has deprecated and will blacklist archive.today
- Iolaum 8mo agoIs there more context available - sounds like there's a bigger story than what is mentioned in the article.

- LegionMammal978 8mo ago> Change the original source to something that doesn't need an archive (e.g., a source that was printed on paper), or for which a link to an archive is only a matter of convenience. As if paper sources are any less susceptible to becoming increasingly unavailable over time...

- armchairhacker 8mo agoThe archive.today owner made a good suggestion: Wikipedia should make their own archive. They can migrate all archive.xx snapshots there. They have the resources and it would be as resilient as Wikipedia itself.
- jsheard 8mo agoSince Wikipedia established that the archiver tampered with stored pages I doubt migrating is on the cards, the trust in those archives has been burned regardless of who hosts them going forward.
- armchairhacker 8mo agoAFAIK the only evidence of tampered pages are those involved in this controversy. That archive.xx could tamper pages has always been possible (and a reason why Wikipedia should have their own archive, and migrate ASAP). But still, Wikipedia can corroborate any archive.xx page, and if they find a matching source, archive that instead.
