Hi, I just created my first wikipedia entry. I wasn't aware of the whole issue of edit history, and now I have a page where there are several inaccuracies and some sensitive information that I deleted from the page that are now still available via the edit history. Is it possible to just delete the page and then re-upload a "clean" version, so that that is the new starting point for the page? Thanks.

P.S. At this point I am the only person who has touched the page. Redteamo (talk) 15:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It is possible to clean the revision history of those edits if needed. Please provide links to those revisions (click on the time and date in the edit history) and why you think they should be deleted and I will delete them if necessary. Regards  So Why  15:21, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you SoWhy. At this point there are 11 edits, and I just noticed a few more edits I need to make in the current version of the text (I was editing the article directly in draft form, instead of uploading it to the sandbox first. My mistake). Is it possible just to delete the page entirely and upload a new version when it's all ready to go?Redteamo (talk) 15:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it can, under criterion for speedy deletion G7. I will delete it if you like, just tell me whenever you copied everything you need from it. PS: I am watching this page, so you do not need to use adminhelp anymore. If I do not respond in short time, it's faster to leave me a message. Regards  So Why  15:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

OK thanks again. I've flagged the page for speedy deletion, and it's ready to take down as soon as you can get to it. Thanks so much. Here's to learning from my mistakes.Redteamo (talk) 15:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Keep up the work here and feel free to contact me if you need any help. Regards  So Why  15:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
