Hello,

for the past few days, I've been unable to open Wikipedia, while I have no trouble accessing other sites. I'm on Windows Vista and Google Chrome, which shows me this message:

Small problem... Google Chrome was unable to access the page fr.wikipedia.org.
Try reloading: fr.wikipedia.org
Other suggestions:
Access a cached copy of the page fr.wikipedia.org.

What should I do?

Did you not touch the browser? Did you do updates or something like that?

updates ^^', otherwise it might be a problem with Google Chrome, reinstall the browser.

Oh no, I haven't done that; I reinstalled Chrome, and Wikipedia still doesn't open; however, it does open on other browsers.

cleaning, deleting, and reinstalling... if it persists: disinfection!
;)

the 'www' is also meant for communicating, sharing, and exchanging, right?

Test it with someone who has the same distribution as you to check that it’s not the uploader who messed something up in the code of one of the latest updates, even though I highly doubt it. But anyway, Wikipedia is not a great resource in the first place because anyone can add anything anywhere, so, well, the information is not always what we are looking for...

It's working now... I didn't do anything special after the reinstallation!
Thanks for the advice.

We know very well what Wikipedia is (...) the advantages and disadvantages.
I prefer this type of operation, a community that offers a lot of information freely, which can sometimes be overwhelmed of course, rather than an entity, a private company, a group of unknowns who are biased, masters of everything, and who dispense what they want without really giving us the right to look...
But now it doesn't work anymore!!!

It would be great if the messages were better organized by date... or maybe start a new topic on the forum for this issue (rather than sticking it to an old one...) right?
The first message is from 2016 but all the following ones (the replies??? probably by anticipation...) are getting pretty old...
