Problem?[edit]

It seems that the site doesn't work anymore: http://wikilivres.ca/wiki/Wikilivres There is a notice: wikilivres.ca Domain Name Service (DNS) has been suspended... from the domain because of overdue payment. Dmitrismirnov (talk) 14:52, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dmitrismirnov: The site goes down from time-to-time. The best way to address this is to inform w:User_talk:Eclecticology (which I am doing now). —Justin (koavf)TCM 20:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilivres seems to be down[edit]

Whenever I try to access Wikilivres, the site just loads forever. What is going on? DraconicDark (talk) 14:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's been down for awhile. I have emailed to ask about it with no response. :/ —Justin (koavf)TCM 19:29, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Koavf: I was wondering if I should contact you about it. What can we do? Has Wikilivres finally died? Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 06:50, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Simon Peter Hughes: My emails have gone unanswered. As I recall, the non-profit that owned it still exists but I cannot remember the entity's name... I requested a backup be put on the Internet Archive a couple of years ago so I know that at least most of that work is saved. That's something. —Justin (koavf)TCM 16:36, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilivres is back at wikilivres.org as of October 2020. The original site is now an Amazon book review site --kathleen wright5 (talk) 13:15, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kathleen.wright5: The website is up but no link seems to work, all of them redirect to the main page. Are you experiencing the same issue? NMaia (talk) 03:01, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kathleen.wright5, @NMaia: It has been that way for over a year. It's never coming back and I lost the .ca domain name as well. —Justin (koavf)TCM 03:02, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Koavf: I just ran an Internet Archive save job on it and it seems pages are still up. See for example https://web.archive.org/web/20210106030124/https://wikilivres.org/wiki/Camille_Marbo. It's probably some misconfiguration in the main page causing this issue. NMaia (talk) 03:06, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@NMaia: The owner of the domain is non-responsive and the last XML dump was nowhere near where the site was when it went down. Sure, someone could try to piece together parts of it from Internet Archive, etc. but the project is dead. —Justin (koavf)TCM 03:09, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
