guivercsem what is the page?00:05
semCan I dm you00:06
guiverc(if you're logged, the page should be editable.. you need wiki-editors permissions on your launchpad id)00:06
semI can log in to launchpad. Maybe I don't have that permission any more00:07
guiverci can look at page if you DM me... but I may require you to give details on public/recorded site before I'll do anything00:07
semOk sent you a dm00:07
guiverccan you provide your launchpad page here please00:09
semSure, one sec00:10
* guiverc was hoping for an email or something which I could request you email me (so as to confirm it's your page)... I see little on page that is identifying except name... (some generic history)00:10
semhttps://launchpad.net/~semitones00:10
semIt's mainly my name, location, and birth year that I regret putting there00:11
guivercI'll delete the page... but I'm trying to think of a way you can confirm that page is yours, currently I can't see any being my problem00:12
semI can email you from the email listed on my launchpad page if you'd like00:12
guivercthat would be appreciated..  guiverc@ubuntu.com will do.00:13
semsent00:14
guivercnothing on that email indicates it was sent from launchpad (was it sent from your launchpad page? or mine (ie. https://launchpad.net/~guiverc  & contact_this_user option)  email just contains a gmail ID that doesn't prove page is yours00:16
guivercie.  if i sent myself something I get "This message was sent from Launchpad by Chris Guiver (https://launchpad.net/~guiverc)"  thus I'd have confirmation the page was sent from my ID00:17
semI didn't know you could send email through launchpad - I just sent it from my email that I use to login to launchpad00:18
semI just edited my user page to remove the link - perhaps that could be proof?00:18
guiverc(you may have had to visit my page to see the contact-this-user option...)  but ...00:19
guivercI'll accept what you've done as proof you're https://launchpad.net/~semitones and thus click to delete page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PatrickH00:20
semThank you :)00:20
guivercdelete reason used is "requested delete from https://launchpad.net/~semitones via IRC (#ubuntu-doc)"  00:21
guiverci'd give it a few secs & try again (You may want to use private/incognito etc to ensure your cache isn't using the prior view etc)00:21
semI appreciate it, thanks00:21
guivercby try again was meant to be viewing your (prior) wiki page00:22
semIt shows as deleted for me00:23
guivercyou're most welcome sem 00:24
semthanks again, have a good one00:25
guiverc(wiki editor access requirement was added a number of years ago due to spamming stuff being added to wiki..)00:25
semOuch00:25
semIt really was a golden age back before then :)00:25
guivercand I see (now) you sent an email confirming via lp too, thanks ! 00:26
semYeah thanks for pointing out that feature. I had never seen it before00:26
guivercmostly I want a reason to cover why I deleted a page (in the record)... beyond just confirming its the creator/owner that requested the page deletion00:28
semOk, how about this00:28
sem I was uncomfortable with the personal details in there00:29
guivercsorry, by "want a reason" I should have used past-tense.. you provided WHAT I NEEDED already00:29
semOk, I understand :)00:29
guivercsem, i took your request as a delete... are/were you happy with that... you can request editor.access to wiki (it's not fast though).. which is this group https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki-editors00:54
semyes, thank you -- I will request editor access as well in case I can become more active on the wiki00:55
guiverc(sorry if you wanted to edit.. I would have done that too on request; for some reason I focused attention to delete part of your initial request)00:55
semI actually preferred deleting00:56
semsorry I was not more clear -- I just wasn't sure if wiki pages could be deleted as easily as they could be edited/renamed, etc.,00:56
semelsewhere on the wiki it strongly discourages deleting pages -- but that must apply to actual documentation00:57
