Wikipedia:Historical archive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is a co-ordination point for pages that were previously in the Wikipedia: namespace, but have become obsolete and archived. Regular articles are not archived here or elsewhere because their previous versions may be viewed in the history tab.

Note these pages are preserved primarily for historical interest. Policies contained within may be out-dated.

All page histories still contain their original revisions, with some dating back to Wikipedia's early days.
