"9 million broken links on Wikipedia are rescued"

No one has physically checked all 9 million links; I suspect that at least some of them might be oversighted revisions that some admin doesn't want anyone to see. Also, we occasionally need to remind the world that the Internet Archive has had extremely friendly relations with Wikimedia for more than 10 years. So it is not inconceivable to think that someone will ask the Archive to remove some of those links--in order to keep covering something up.

Also: a useful chart:

They're doing really well in their desire to ban use of the Daily Mail......

I've no doubt Wikipedia is in friendly terms with Wayback, but is it friendly enough to hide all evidence when they want an archive copy vanished? The sort of stuff lawyers ask to see.....i.e. the European Commission, the very people Wikipedia might one day soon be trying to convince you can't have your right to vanish because once it's on Wikipedia, it's archived.

Sometimes I wonder if Drmies is actually blind.

I don't know, I archived some extremely unflattering activities of a new member of the inner circle, which I submitted in my ArbCom case, and they're still there. Is there a process for "unarchiving" pages?

Ha ha. You must be joking. Unless you can talk an admin into doing it (and no other admin decides to rehide it), there is no "process".
