Wayback issue reported edit

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Feb 4, 2024, 12:30 CST: I am a subscriber to your service and am having difficulties with archiving links specifically from one of Rwanda's largest newspapers The New Times. I am not a technology expert and have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. The issue is that when I save a link in Wayback the article saved is a completely different article. Unsure how to fix the problem, or explain it better, I will provide links below.

This link [1] was saved to Wayback today, but the archived link [2] clearly is not about the 2011 election of Christophe Bazivamo to the East African Legislative Assembly. Instead it is the text of a completely different article from 2023 [3] about Oda Gasinzigwa replacing Bazivamo in his post.

This issue has apparently been on-going for quite some time, as when I attempted to verify if this link [4] about Gasinzingwa's election to the EALA Commission in 2020 had been saved in Wayback, the archived link [5] shows the text of a [6] 2021 article about the Nyarugenge Prison.

Sometimes the saved link shows only the headline and the photo, like this one [7] or this one [8] but an attempt to resave the article [9] has nothing to do with Gasinzingwa's hiring in 2011 [10] but instead with her replacement as head of the National Women's Council in 2008 [11].

I have cleared my cookies and cache numerous times over the last few weeks, but it is clear that this is an on-going issue for this paper. You will note that none of the original article numbers are the same, so why the archiving is pulling in different articles when it saves is baffling. I was able in January to circumvent the issue on the series of articles I am writing about Rwanda by saving the links at another archiving service; however, that service seems to have gone off-line in the last few days. It would be a tragedy for link rot, server change, or disbanding of the paper to cause a loss of these valuable articles for future researchers, but I have no idea how to correct the problem or why it is happening. I am hopeful that your technicians can examine the links and both figure out what the problem is and correct it. Please help.

Response: Your request (990610) has been updated. Feb 5, 2024, 09:42 CST Thank you for that bug report. I have shared it with the engineer, who is responsible for that part of the Wayback Machine, and we are working to get it fixed. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at anytime, about anything, going forward. - Mark Graham, Director, the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive

Hopefully, it will be quickly resolved. In the meantime, I have inserted the links to the articles I have been able to find in ProQuest and Gale at the WP Library, as alternative links. SusunW (talk) 16:23, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
