Internet Archive, Wikipedia outages: What we know

Two of the best internet repositories of information appeared to go down on Wednesday morning.

Visitors to both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia, to be more specific, reported outages at the start of hump day. According to DownDetector, both sites started experiencing problems sometime around 10 or 11 a.m. ET. Mashable has reached out to both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia for comment, and we will update this article if we hear back.

As of this writing, the Internet Archive website, the host of the popular Wayback Machine, which lets users see historical versions of popular webpages, returned a connection timeout error message for Mashable reporters. (The Wikipedia website was still accessible, however.)

The Internet Archive confirmed the site was experiencing problems in a message posted to X on Wednesday morning:

The Wikimedia status page listed an ongoing incident for Oct. 21 with the following message, "Unresolved incident: Emergency Maintenance."

It's unclear if these outages are related to each other in any way, aside from the fact that both sites are famous places to find access to information online.
