Date Confusion

[edit]

I'm confused by the Retrieved Date being before the Original Date in References 2, 3, 5, 9, and 15. For example, from Reference 2 "from the original on August 23, 2023. Retrieved July 6, 2020." 76.67.254.80 (talk) 18:46, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Archived from the original on August 23, 2023."
This is the archive date.
The (original, not archived) article was checked (=retrieved) by a Wikipedia editor on July 6, 2020. The article was archived 3 years after it was retrieved (for the first time). Nakonana (talk) 11:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
