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.
