Revdel request by email
Hi VRT, I am a sysop and recently I received a request through "email this user" to ask for the deletion of userpage history. I think the request is justifiable per WP:G7 but understandably said user does not want a public wikitext discussion about why they are requesting revdel. I suppose the right way forward is to perform the deletion myself and deposit the email request to some VRT confidential email archive for accountability purposes - where is the right queue to send the request email to? (Please ping on reply, thanks) Deryck C. 15:10, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Deryck Chan info-en is fine for that - just make a note that it's already been taken care of and no on-wiki action is required. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:01, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Deryck Chan just a note: if I get a request to delete "userpage history" I usually let the user know I'm treating it as a normal G7 and just delete the entire page - they can always recreate their userpage if they want to. Revdeling is more like to cause the Streisand effect. — xaosflux Talk 18:57, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks User:xaosflux and User:VernoWhitney. I shall communicate these options to the concerned editor by email. Deryck C. 11:13, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
