Hello, this has came to my attention that there have been people mentioning people in forums, mention about how people posting fanart, etc. But can I ask you a question, is there any chance that certain articles can have a history reset if it's possible? Because not only is to protect certain people from danger, but certain information being read in history can cause people to post reasons of editing to be controversial. So is it alright if there's once certain article that can be deleted but can be reuploaded in a new format of history? Please let me know when you get this message. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Okolanda|Okolanda]] ([[User talk:Okolanda|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Okolanda|contribs]]) 21:03, 3 April 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:Revisions can be hidden or deleted from the article's history, [[User:Okolanda|Okolanda]]. It isn't usually done unless there are very serious concerns with the material in the revisions. --[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John#top|talk]]) 21:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC) |

:But is there a possibility to delete the article and reupload it with history being resetted? Because I have seen this with people trying to expose people about previous experiences just so that it can damage their reputation. I do apologise that it may waste your time. --[[User:Okolanda|Okolanda]] |

A Note on threading:
Interpersonal communication does not work when messages are left on individual users' talk pages rather than threaded, especially when a third party wishes to read or reply. Being a "bear of very little brain", I get easily confused when trying to follow conversations that bounce back and forth, so I've decided to try the convention that many others seem to use, aggregation of messages on either your talk page or my talk page. If the conversation is about an article I will try to aggregate on the article's talk page.
I may mess up, don't worry, I'll find it eventually. Ping me if you really need to. please note this is a personal preference rather than a matter of site policy |

We obviously haven't finishedJohn - please see this addition from Macktheknifeau to Talk:Soccer in Australia. The last sentence is true. He has begun unilaterally changing "soccer" in many Australian articles to "football". A look at his recent Contributions will show the extent of these changes. That's not my understanding of our consensus. HiLo48 (talk) 15:09, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Regarding history about people posting irrelevant content on the articlesHello, this has came to my attention that there have been people mentioning people in forums, mention about how people posting fanart, etc. But can I ask you a question, is there any chance that certain articles can have a history reset if it's possible?
