I edited a page today but forgot I was not signed in, I signed in afterwards but it did not remove my IP address. is it possible to do this retrospectively?
 * I think you want a revision deletion (which would still allow admins to see it). The other option is oversight, which would remove it so even admins couldn't see it, but that's a more involved process. I have the ability to do it, but I've never done one, so I'd prefer to let someone else do it. Note that it requires an admin, so you might want to change the template to ., so only admins can see it. If you don't get help soon, poke one of these admins Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests--  SPhilbrick  T  18:02, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, if you are only interested in "claiming" the edit as yours, and don't care about having the IP address showing, you can make a dummy edit to the article and use the edit summary to claim the other edit as yours. -- John of Reading (talk) 18:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * John is, of course right. I assumed that if you simply wanted credit, you would have identified the article, and the fact that you did not identify the article means you would prefer that the IP not be associated with you. Of course, I could be wrong, and if you simply wanted credit, you could follow John's advice with no admin needed.-- SPhilbrick  T  18:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this, I was only concerned about removing the IP address for privacy reasons. I sent a message to the Oversight people, it has now been completed to my satisfaction. Thank you for your help. Can I now remove this discussion from my page?
 * Yes, good idea when it involves a privacy issue. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:08, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

February 2009
In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. --Dynaflow  babble  12:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
