[edit]

The Internet Archive is back, but the Login is not working. The message says: "We're sorry. Login is not allowed at this time. The latest updates can be found on X / Twitter, Bluesky, and Mastodon." 2804:214:8779:B3FC:741A:1C95:6903:F9E6 (talk) 02:12, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added this edit. Thanks! Gideonrmt (talk) 12:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the 'cyberattacks' section needs to be moved out of the history section, and replace with a 30,000 ft overview. As it stands, it's an entire section in 'history' that covers May 27, 2024 to current, which suffers a bad case of recentism; not really a historical overview by any stretch. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 14:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
True but I think it would be easier to do that once the dust settles on this. There are still changes happening every day. Gideonrmt (talk) 15:46, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but that only bolsters the argument: it's detailing small near-daily matters, which in the scheme of history...aren't! cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 16:41, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, I just mean its difficult to know which details will be important and which just suffer from WP:Recentism. Also not including that on October 23 archive.org was back online with limited features could make it seem like archive.org is still unavailable. I do think cyberattacks should remain in history and be shortened to only include an overview of events. I also think the heading for cyberattacks should be removed and replaced with an wp:anchor instead. Gideonrmt (talk) 18:50, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree on all points, for sure. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 19:18, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hosting purl.org

[edit]

According to Persistent_uniform_resource_locator that "on 27 September 2016 OCLC announced a cooperation with Internet Archive". I believe the result is that IA is hosting `purl.org` (and related redirection services). However, the IA page currently doesn't list Purl (or "purl.org") as a service run by IA. Should this be added? Cheers, FnordMan (talk) 15:13, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We should wait until IA has updated their page to indicate 'all services are now restored' - as there's no way to check the purl stuff until they're back up. I've verified that the in-addr.arpa for 'purl.org' maps onto ux-haproxy1.us.archive.org, so we know that at least that much does exist; whether they still propagate results remains to be seen. Purl doesn't appear to have garnered much attention or use though, based merely on the dearth of mentions found on the web. Had never heard of it before you provided the article link. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 19:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page move Internet Archive to Website Archive

[edit]

@GoTV439 You moved page Internet Archive to Website Archive without discussion. I undid your bold move because it was not discussed and I believe many people, including myself, would disagree with the move. The organization this article is about is called Internet Archive.
