Alexandria Incident

Alexandria Incidents are massive losses of data that intentionally or unintentionally take down part or the whole of a service's data at once.

Geocities died intentionally, and the loss was the death of the whole service, and thus is considered an A type Alexandria Incident.

The Myspace Data Loss Incident was unintentional, and was the loss of only a portion of the service, and thus is considered a B type Alexandria Incident.

The Tumblr porn ban was intentional, and was a loss of only a portion of the service, and is thus a C type

The Theoretical D type, where the data loss was unintentional and resulted in service wide data loss happens usually to small scale services, or large services in their early days, I do not know of many good examples of this if any

The name, Alexandria Incident, comes from the burning of the library of Alexandria.
another example classification: the death of Flipnote Hatena was an A type Alexandria Incident.

Alejandra

Alejandra meaning caring understanding and wonderful person.
Alejandra is one of the most amazing precious and caring person you will ever meet. She is very understanding and a passionate person. She also is very dumb because she forgives people who treat her badly. But overall I can go on and on about this amazing girl. You would never want to leave her because you will regret it the second you leave her. She’s the most sweetest person every too even if you think she isn’t by the way her face expressions are.
