Page history
I noticed your request for removal of page history: and have actioned the request - Motivation and emotion/Book/2014/Social media motivation. Let me know if I can do anything else. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:06, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * thanks james, I'm still trying to get the hang of wikiversity and have just tried emerging myself into it, so i'm a little all over the place, making obvious mistakes on the way.--Can Rogerthat (discuss • contribs) 05:23, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * In the future, to get a page deleted you can just add a tag at the top of the page, such as  .  As long as you're the only author of the page, these requests are typically fulfilled.  For more complicated requests, post at Request custodian action.  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 12:50, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Agreed with all the above. Don't worry about making mistakes. The only real problem is when users insist on making them, or make lots of them and don't learn. It's rare. Usually, if the page can belong on Wikiversity and merely has some problems, you can just blank the problem text. It matters little if it sits in history. In this case, because you were the page author, you could just pop a deletion template on the page, as shown, easy enough and for "author request," it's normally granted quickly with no fuss, don't worry about it. Probably, blanking would have done the trick, though. We should probably have a formal guideline on this.


 * Revisions can also be hidden. We don't like that, because it is not transparent. So it causes some collateral damage, i.e., it can look like custodians are hiding problems or are favoring certain users. So we'd want a strong reason. Mere copyright violation on the level that was probably involved, probably not enough. (I'm not a custodian so I can't see what you wrote, only that the page was deleted .) If it was serious violation, truly damaging a copyright owner, Yes.) WV:RCA is the place to request revision deletion, unless there is a privacy violation involved, in which case one would email custodians. Calling attention to a privacy violation is kind of self-defeating! Again, welcome to Wikiversity.


 * For the future, if you want to draft a page as you did, you may do so in your user space. Then, if you do not want to keep the draft, you can copy your finished work to the final page, and place a speedy deletion tag on the draft, author request. You could also move the page into place with your first drafts buried in history. We are not concerned about "plagiarism" at that level, especially if you source, with links, what you are quoting, which you would want to do anyway. Copyvio is an issue, possibly, balanced by fair use, but push will not come to shove if you clean up any mess.


 * We will support your learning process. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 15:51, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
