	Removing text from OSE projects does not permanently delete it. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted", any user with "administrator" access on the wiki can see what was deleted. Information can be permanently deleted by those people with access to the servers. ~~To request~~ this, ~~please~~ [[#Contact Us\|contact us]]		Removing text from OSE projects does not permanently delete it. In normal articles, anyone can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is "deleted", any user with "administrator" access on the wiki can see what was deleted. Information can be permanently deleted by those people with access to the servers, which is a complex and time-consuming process, and is not done unless first there is a valid and legal reason, and if the requester pays for the admin time at reasonable rates for a system admin hired by OSE.

			However, the general rule is that all wiki information is public, and requests to "delete" content will not be granted, unless content is illegal. Administrators may delete content permanently only if it is spam or not relevant in any way to the work of Open Source Ecology. Users themselves are able to modify or delete content by editing this wiki as they like.

			For the sake of open information, requests by collaborators to 'delete' either other contributors' or their own pages will not be granted unless there is a compelling and legal reason why the content is illegal or unwarranted. The remedy in this case that a user simply edits the page to delete the undesired content. Note that any page may be modified by other users, and it is not fair for any user to delete content in the case that others have contributed to the content. Any requests to delete other users' content will be denied unless required by applicable law.

			The general intent is to preserve all work for transparency, for future study of all work done within this history-making project. [[#Contact Us\|contact us]]
