Contributor copyright deletion requests

November 10th, 2008 by Laura Leave a reply »

About a month ago we had a situation come up regarding how to handle deletion requests for articles where there was one contributor. Given that, we’ve made a slight modification to our article deletion policy. It now includes the following:

If you are a contributor to Fan History who would like your edits removed/deleted, this can be done in the following situation:

* You are the sole contributor to an article where no one else has edited;
* Your edits are the most recent edits to an article; or
* You have made your edits from an account with a verified e-mail address or using an OpenID account and the request comes from the e-mail address affiliated with your user name.

If your edits qualify, then e-mail support@fanhistory.com with the name of your account and links to all the articles where you would like your edits removed.

What this means is if you’ve made contributions to an article as a logged in user with a verified e-mail address (or using OpenID) and you your edits removed, so long as you are the most recent contributor, we’re willing to do that. You just need to let us know. If some one else has made edits after you, than you’re out of luck. That is one of the possibilities when you contribute to a wiki. If you have any questions about this policy, please let us know.
