I dunno, I think a more likely explanation is that the
regular
deleting happened first, and the oversight came later. Also take a
look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&…
which happened around the same time period.
What makes you think there was any oversighting? The logs aren't
visible without the oversight privilege, so I have no way to be sure,
but I see nothing to suggest anything was oversighted. I don't see
what is unlikely about my description, it's simply a commentary on the
deletion log.
Those deleted revisions I can see, and they are discussions regarding
personal information that was published on Wikipedia Review. I see
nothing untoward about them being deleted.
The only thing which lends any credence at all to the
rumors is the
fact that some people are going to such lengths to cover things up.
Not that I buy the story as Brandt tells it - I would think a
government agent would do a better job of disappearing once eir cover
was blown.
I see no coverup, just deletions of personal information, entirely
according to policy. (Remember, oversight was a brand new feature when
this was going on.)
