Bug ID: 50031
Summary: revisions need to be scrubbed from the Wikipedia
database
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site requests

Please scrub the 2002 and 2003 edits from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox
I.e. these edits:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&offset=20040101000000&limit=100&action=history&tagfilter=
I accidentally imported them there by file uploading last night. Not only that,
but I also forgot to change the usernames so they're under Wikipedians' old
usernames. The edits are duplicated (under the correct usernames!) at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Historical_archive/Earliest_sandbox_history
Another reason to remove these edits (besides the fact that they're plain ugly)
is that users of automated tools sometimes use the sandbox to test speedy
deletion warnings. These automated tools automatically place the speedy
deletion notice on the talk page of the first contributor to the page. There is
no reason to bombard the user "I am Jack's username" (either in his former or
current username) with these notices.
