They did edit archived pages. They temporarily did a find/replace on their archive to replace "Nora Puchreiner" (an alias the site operator uses) with "Jani Patokallio" (the name of the blogger who wrote about archive.today's owner). https://megalodon.jp/2026-0219-1634-10/https://archive.ph:443/LZymb https://megalodon.jp/2026-0219-1634-10/https://archive.ph:44...
They also tampered with their archive for a few of the social media sites (Twitter, Instagram, Blogger) by changing the name of the signed in account to Jani Patokallio. https://megalodon.jp/2026-0220-0320-05/https://archive.is:443/search/?q=Jani+Patokallio https://megalodon.jp/2026-0220-0320-05/https://archive.is:44...
I think Wikipedia made the right decision, you can't trust an archival service for citations if every time the sysop gets in a row they tamper with their database.
