Hello, I accidentally edited Deprivation while logged out. I went back and reverted the edit, then repeated the change under my named account. Is it possible to remove the IP edit from the page history for privacy reasons? Thanks, AnonQuixote (talk) 05:02, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- I have suppressed the edit. PhilKnight (talk) 11:53, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
