Wikipedia not having their own archives by now is a huge vulnerability.

Them hosting their own archives of copyrighted articles would need to be non-public (for citation verification only), since if they did an archive.today-like public service, it would certainly get them sued by a constant carousel of copyright owners until they run out of money.
Archive.org might be a sign that most would look the other way, but given how tightly they are balanced between survival and oblivion, I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Especially given the amount of money they’ve raised. Insane that at this point they didn’t have a system to automatically archive any sources automatically
