The world’s largest encyclopedia became the factual foundation of the web, but now it’s under attack.

    How do you download the entire Wikipedia? Someone said it was possible to host it and also resources for Anna’s archive and other archive sites.

      downloading it is fine but i think the contents of wikipedia are so thoroughly archived that i doubt it is in danger of becoming “lost media”.

      my fear isn’t that the information would be destroyed, but that the ongoing project of keeping the knowledge up to date would stop, or be split across some underground efforts with varying quality standards.
