uh-oh. A Wiki Mind Wipe. :(
I can't see anything in the GFDL about retraction of works, nor on
http://meta.wikipedia.com/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia_and_copyright_issues
If edits have been made to pages created by Mulot, then they're no
longer only hers.
Given the nature of the GFDL it is unrealistic to think that one can
retract a work -- there's no way of keeping track of all the adaptations
of it.
I would say a personal page is personal property -- but all wikipedia
pages are GDFL, even personal pages, presumably -- so the "personal
property" thing there is more a matter of etiquette.
