2016: [https://tracker.archiveteam.org/yahooanswers yahooanswers] | source = [https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/yahooanswers-grab yahooanswers-grab] }} '''Yahoo! Answers''' is currently the biggest Q&A site on the internet. It is unlikely to go down soon, but given [[Yahoo!]]'s record of deleting sites ([[Yahoo! Messages]], [[Ask Yahoo!]]), one would be better off using [[Answers.com]] or another Q&A site. Closed on 2021-05-04. In July 2016, [[Yahoo!]] has been [http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/25/technology/yahoo-verizon-deal-sale/ acquired] by Verizon. [https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160228141014AAh0MnR Rumour] [https://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160328064803AA3RQ4Y has it] that Answers might be closed as a consequence. So ArchiveTeam decided to download it. This effort stopped in July 2017 for unknown reasons. In April 2021, Yahoo! announced that Answers would go read-only on 2021-04-20 and be shut down entirely on 2021-05-04.{{URL|https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN35642.html}} As expected, Yahoo! added a pop-up notice 2021-04-20 saying that read-only mode had begun,https://web.archive.org/web/20210420233723/https://answers.yahoo.com/ and on 2021-05-04, the entire website started redirecting to a help article. On 2021-07-01, Yahoo! Answers links redirected to https://www.yahoo.com/. Users have received an email notification from Yahoo on the day of the closure stating that they can still download their individual data until June 30, 2021. == 2021 Archival attempt == Archiving finished! Participants were given instructions on how to install the [[ArchiveTeam_Warrior|ArchiveTeam Warrior]] to help out and and recommended to join the IRC channel for up-to-date information. In the end, a complete capture was not possible, so it is very likely that not all pages were archived. Docker image: atdr.meo.ws/archiveteam/yahooanswers-grab, see the setup instructions in [[Running Archive Team Projects with Docker]] for more details. Outlinks were passed to the [[URLs]] project. To handle pagination, URLs that look like '.answers.yahoo.com/_reservice_/' were called. Since this was done on many pages, it showed up frequently in the logs. === Quant === In a blog post titled "We archived Yahoo! Answers" at https://www.quantcdn.io/blog/we-archived-yahoo-answers Stuart Rowlands makes no mention of ArchiveTeam. This article points to the conclusion that if you compare the ArchiveTeam's download of Yahoo! Answers to www.quantcdn.io's download of it, www.quantcdn.io could very well have exclusive Yahoo! Answers data. The article states that plenty is missing (similar to how ArchiveTeam's download of Yahoo! Answers is incomplete); quote from quantcdn.io: "We did manage to capture 10s of millions of pages which equates to terabytes of data; but it's hard to estimate what percentage of the total this represents." In the "What's next?" section the quantcdn.io article states that they will add searchability to their Yahoo! Answers archive if there is enough interest. §What's next? has the text: "If other archivists have managed to capture content we're missing we'd love to collaborate to build a more complete snapshot - feel free to reach out!" This implies that Quant might give Yahoo! Answers data that the ArchiveTeam is missing to the ArchiveTeam, and that Quant might be receptive to Yahoo! Answers data (downloaded by ArchiveTeam) that Quant is missing. In the article, §Where is it? has links to quantarchive.com home pages of Yahoo! Answers: https://answers.quantarchive.com/ ("main archive"/"the primary site"), https://ar.answers.quantarchive.com/ ("Argentina" - 1 of 20 "international sites"), https://au.answers.quantarchive.com/ ("Australia"), https://br.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Brazil), https://ca.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Canada), https://fr.answers.quantarchive.com/ (France), https://de.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Germany), https://in.answers.quantarchive.com/ (India), https://id.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Indonesia), https://it.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Italy), https://malaysia.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Malaysia - duh), https://mx.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Mexico), https://nz.answers.quantarchive.com/ (New Zealand), https://ph.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Philippines), https://sg.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Singapore), https://tw.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Taiwan), https://hk.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Hong Kong), https://th.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Thailand), https://uk.answers.quantarchive.com/ ("UK & Ireland"), https://vn.answers.quantarchive.com/ (Vietnam), and https://espanol.answers.quantarchive.com/ ("Espanol"). These links/format are the same as or similar to how Yahoo! Answers would have a home page at https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/, for example. (When uk.answers.yahoo.com was alive it would put a captcha wall or something similar in front of its web pages.) == 2016/2017 Archival attempt == === Discovery === [https://answers.yahoo.com/activity/questions?show=VNMHRIO7W2IKKVCTTH4W7RA6OU] and [https://answers.yahoo.com/activity/questions?show=O3HSJ5K6TU52LBXAFTNGK5S7FI] are [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Yahoo!_Answers&curid=26289391&diff=712525785&oldid=703414087 allegedly] the oldest accounts on the site.

[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 05:43, 5 May 2021 (UTC) ==Missing info== My edit request to this article seems to have been denied. It was put in "mod queue" or whatever it is called weeks ago I think. But why was it rejected? --[[User:Usernam|Usernam]] ([[User talk:Usernam|talk]]) 13:14, 12 July 2021 (UTC) Update: I just saw the text "For any questions, Please see the IRC channel #archiveteam-bs (on hackint) for more details" above. Maybe I should have asked there instead. --~~~~ >>> wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Talk:Yahoo!_Answers later on: "--~~~~" became "--Usernam (talk) 13:16, 12 July 2021 (UTC)" wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Talk:Yahoo!_Answers later on, reply to Usernam: Yes, that would be easier. We discussed that edit internally, and I rejected it because 99 % of it were effectively an ad for a questionable third-party service. JustAnotherArchivist (talk) 17:05, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
