Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/ScienceApologist


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was courtesy blank mentions of ScienceApologist's name or IP data so far as is possible. Whilst it may not be possible to put the genie back in the bottle, drawing attention to the genie's escape need not necessarily mean distributing a description of the genie and his last known whereabouts. The discussion (now hidden from view but accessible via the page history per my closing rationale) shows that ScienceApologist has at times in the past disclosed what purported to be his identity and IP data. He would not be the first on this project to regret doing so upon becoming aware of the consequences this can have and, so far as it does not interfere with the operation of the project, we should be sensitive to the concerns of such users. I therefore ask all Wikipedia editors to extend ScienceApologist the courtesy of assisting in blanking mentions of personal information concerning him, and in reducing the google presence of that information. In the course of this discussion, a number of pages have been identified where such information is located and could be redacted with minimal consequences. ScienceApologist is in turn, per comments made by Lar in the checkuser request, strongly advised to exercise caution to ensure he is logged in when editing.
