When the Wayback Machine does a better job than you do in preserving your content, you have failed.<p>I looked through some old bookmarks, and I couldn’t even <i>find</i> these articles on the new site:<p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090220095241/http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2000/03/35143" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20090220095241/http://www.wired.c...</a><p><a href="http://archive.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securitymatters/2006/05/70886" rel="nofollow">http://archive.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securi...</a>
Might be a good idea to put a canonical tag on the old to the new content.<p><a href="http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/1.02/crypto.rebels_pr.html" rel="nofollow">http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/1.02/crypto.rebels_pr...</a> > <a href="http://www.wired.com/1993/02/crypto-rebels/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wired.com/1993/02/crypto-rebels/</a>
> How We Moved 34,000 WIRED Pages to One Site in 9 Hours<p>> Starting in April, Cyphon quickly consumed most of my working hours.<p>This juxtaposition either emphasizes the fantastically few hours worked (9 hours since April!) or the slight exaggeration about moving 34k pages in 9 hours.

Yeah, especially those super-readable headlines on the new site.
Odd. There are no redirects for the old articles to the new ones.<p>For instance, this example:<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/1999/07/pilgrims/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wired.com/1999/07/pilgrims/</a><p>Originally showed up here:<p><a href="https://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/7.07/pilgrims_pr.html" rel="nofollow">https://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/7.07/pilgrims_pr.htm...</a><p>It doesn't redirect.
You guys were hardly successful - I still go through 27bstroke6 (yes, i remember the old name of threatlevel) and find the PDF affidavits are broken links.<p>Disappointing guys. Do you care enough? Can you guys hire and intern, go back into pacer and bring back the PDF's?<p>Make a log of your progress please. Do that, and you'll win my respect. Poulsen's writing was great.
