From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, you can ask an admin about deleting page history, but I doubt they will. The reason, mainly, is because of the terms of Wikipedia's license (the GNU Free Documentation License), which requires that previous versions of a document (in this case, the article) be available and that all authors be acknowledged. The Wikimedia Foundation, which overseas Wikipedia, occasionally wipes out a particular revision from the edit history, but these are usually for legal reasons. For example, if a version of a Wikipedia article seriously libels someone, and that person contacts the Foundation and complains about it, the version may be destroyed completely. Versions are also sometimes deleted if they contain contact info that isn't public, especially that of minors. So if a young kid has a Wikipedia account and posts all sort of information about himself or herself, admins might delete the page and delete it from the editing history.

I'm not really sure if any of the previous versions of Overlake Christian Church would really fall under this category. If you're still interested in getting the page history deleted, or at least some versions of it, you can find an admin at the Administrator's Noticeboard. If you have any other questions, just drop me a line on my talk page! Natalie 03:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm not always on this much, but I work at a library, which is dead on Friday nights, as you can imagine. Also, we had snow and freezing rain here for the last three or four days, so everyone's inside. It's great here in the Midwest... Natalie 03:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
