Its rare, but does happen ocassionally. Normally it only happens when someone posts personal information that is not something that is in the public interest enough to belong in an article.
- aspenmayer 2y agoThose deletions seem consistent with Wikipedia norms and come from within the organization and its editors, compared to this action being seemingly complied with under protest in order to leave all options open legally.
- bawolff 2y agoIndeed, i agree. I just meant on a technical level, scrubbing page histories is a thing that happens ocassionally. The current situatuon is pretty unprecedented as far as i know.
- aspenmayer 2y agoThe only other time I found a country-level block for a specific page was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-sur-Haute_military_radio_station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-sur-Haute_military_radi... Worldwide blocks for a specific page are unprecedented.
- bawolff 2y agoThat was not a country wide block.
- aspenmayer 2y agoNice spot. It was an attempted block/deletion of the article on the French-language Wikipedia.
