For the BlackBerry OS page I made edits relating to BB10 without logging in and it has now recorded my IP there

(cur | prev) 18:35, 12 March 2013‎ <redacted> (talk)‎ . . (20,316 bytes) (-94)‎ . . (Updated article to include the existance of BlackBerry 10, instead of integrating BB10 into the article users are pointed to the BlackBerry 10 article) (undo)

Is it possible for the edit to be reassigned under my username (hiding my IP)? Mthinkcpp (talk) 18:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The only way I could see would be to have it hidden or oversighted and then reposted by you signed in. But then you have posted it here too, so that would need to be hidden too... I'm not sure whether this would come into the real scope of WP:REVDEL or not. Peridon (talk) 19:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds okay, can it be done? Mthinkcpp (talk) 19:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's an allowable use of REVDEL. The edit to Blackberry OS can't be reassigned to you, but the IP that made it is no longer visible, and I have also rev-deleted the content of four revisions of this talk page which contained the IP. The relevant policy seems to envisage that an even stronger form of concealment known as WP:Oversight would be appropriate; I don't know whether that is really necessary, but I will notify an oversighter who can decide. JohnCD (talk) 20:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All oversighted, so no longer visible even to admins. JohnCD (talk) 22:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, John. I've never used revdel much. Peridon (talk) 22:41, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the C++ history I undid an edit and I placed a link to C syntax#Primitive data types, however, by mistake I entered http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax#Primitive_data_types instead and it now has an odd explanation on the reason why I undid the edit (oldid=555647218), time 14:41, 18 May 2013‎ BST or 13:41, 18 May 2013‎ UTC. I meant to place in

See C syntax#Primitive data types - Undid revision 555608051 by Marc-russo (talk).

Should I undo my edit and then undo the other edit again, or should something else be done. Thankyou MThinkCpp (talk) 13:48, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mthinkcpp, you don't have to redo your edit, although what you can do if you want the edit summary to reflect what you did is make a null edit (an edit where you don't change anything), and put what your explanation is in the edit summary. Something like "Missed edit summary: Your explanation here", or similar. Alternatively you can put the explanation on the article talk page. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 14:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
