Suppression


 * For requests please send an e-mail to   

Oversight (or Suppression) is the ability to delete pages, revisions, log entries, and files from the public view, this can also be hidden from administrators. Only when the content is hidden from Administrators is it called Oversight/suppression, if not it is just called revision deletion.

Requesting
As stated above please do not place requests on-wiki but send an email to ''' or contact a Steward any other way, making sure that it is him/her.

Usage
Oversight/suppression is usually only used to:
 * Hide non-public personal information about a real individual. This could be private information about you or others
 * This includes a telephone number, an address or location, the name of a workplace or school, other online and offline identities, a date of birth, accidentally disclosed IP addresses, and (subject to oversighter judgment) other information of an identifying nature.
 * Hide clearly private, personal, or non-public information.
 * We suppress some highly sensitive and potentially harmful non-public information, even if it does not strictly help "identify" the person. In the past, we have suppressed content such as the self-disclosure of age or date of birth of a minor, or an individual's medical information. This is subject to oversighter discretion.
 * Remove clearly (or probably) libelous posts when we have no editorial need to keep the revision.
 * Oversight may be used for other reasons: We are not likely to make other exceptions, but reserve the right to do so.
