<p>Fellow fedizens! As decreed by <a href="https://xkcd.com/843/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>xkcd.com/843/</a> some fifteen years ago, it is once again time to spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_</span><span class="invisible">common_misconceptions</span></a>.</p><p><a href="/tags/xkcd/" rel="tag">#xkcd</a> <a href="/tags/xkcd843/" rel="tag">#xkcd843</a> <a href="/tags/misconceptions/" rel="tag">#misconceptions</a> <a href="/tags/wikipedia/" rel="tag">#Wikipedia</a></p>

<p>I recently posted about archive.today (also archive.is, archive.ph, archive.fo, archive.li, archive.md, and archive.vn) using its archive links to launch a ddos attack against a blogger they accused of doxing them: <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@11011110/116028203974257264" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mathstodon.xyz/@11011110/116028203974257264"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mathstodon.xyz/@11011110/11602</span><span class="invisible">8203974257264</span></a></p><p>That attack triggered <a href="/tags/wikipedia/" rel="tag">#Wikipedia</a> (at least, the English part) to discuss banning archive.today links, and the ensuing discussion turned up evidence that (as part of the same dispute with the same blogger) archive.today had also tampered with its archived content to falsify certain names in old archived links: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5#Evidence_of_altering_snapshots" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5#Evidence_of_altering_snapshots"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi</span><span class="invisible">a:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5#Evidence_of_altering_snapshots</span></a></p><p>This led to a quick close of the discussion and a consensus to remove all archive.today links from Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Archive.today_guidance" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Archive.today_guidance"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi</span><span class="invisible">a:Archive.today_guidance</span></a><br>For the same reasons I have removed all archive.today links from my blog, where I had been occasionally using them as a convenient way to access paywalled content. I suggest that others remove their links as well, lest you unwittingly become part of additional ddos attacks and falsification.</p>
