Imho it is best if this option is not enabled. The whole world does not need to know if someone created a lot of pages that are subject to copyrights or if someone is a vandal. This is a matter of privacy and privacy law is totally different in e.g. the US and Belgium. Therefore, I do not really like this option. It is not really necessary anymore, because sysops can now obtain a list of deleted contributions using the special page [[Special:DeletedContributions]] Annabel ----- Original Message ---- From: Messedrocker <messedrocker(a)gmail.com> To: toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 6:19:25 PM Subject: Re: [Toolserver-l] About publishing lists of deleted edits Well, we should ask Interiot if he's figured out the legal problem. If not, VVV either knows the answer or is naive of the earlier takedown.

Recently I've noticed another tool on Toolserver doing the same thing: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~vvv/deletedcontribs.php?wiki=ruwiki_p&user=E… If that's not a problem, why not to allow reactivating this feature in Interiot's editcount? -- Ed _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list Toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l ____________________________________________________________________________________ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/
