Prior edits, including edits of talk pages, are part of the historical record of the editing of the article, and cannot be deleted. "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." --Orange Mike | Talk 16:06, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That username is part of the aforementioned historical record. Its deletion would make the editing history of the article harder to trace. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For something serious like use/abuse of a Social Security number or revelation of inappropriate personal information by a child, there is a process called "oversighting" (which I am not empowered to do, as it is a power granted to only a tiny number of individuals). There is no such issue here that I can see, but perhaps I don't understand your concern clearly (I'm only human). For further information on oversighting, go to WP:OVERSIGHT; for information on how to make a request for oversighting, go to Wikipedia:Requests for oversight. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
