I have seen others. Should there be a list article?

If you can't get independent third-party sources discussing websites excluded by Wayback Machine, then it is not noteworthy. Also, these questions belong to the WP:Reference desk. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 21:28, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Oldest Archive

I found early archives on the wayback machine and even a thread where users discussed old finds. I cited both in the article text currently citations 8 and 9. However per Help:CS1 errors the citations linked for the oldest archive will always be invalid due to the rules of Help:Citation Style 1. The current citation has an error for a malformed timestamp on the archive url. Just something I thought I would point out and put here on the talk page so that the article content does not get removed without reason. Let me know your thoughts and if you can find an older archive than the BBC web server page 1995 on the wayback machine.

year is earlier than archiver launch date of

• 1996 for archive.org

Including a photo of a device showing a web archive on the Wayback Machine of this article

I think it would be a fun idea if we included a photo of a device, preferably a desktop computer or laptop showing a web archive on the Wayback Machine of this article on this article. Any thoughts? Livingroom Productions (talk) 22:29, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
