Missing questions[edit]

There were two questions asked yesterday concerning Greta Thunberg. Where have they gone. Who deleted them and why? Thanks Anton 81.131.40.58 (talk) 08:10, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For the who, click "View history" at the top of the page and see for yourself. For the why, see WP:BLP, which applies to every page on Wikipedia. Please don't do it again, or admins will start blocking your IP addresses. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 08:48, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is it possible to go back and see what was said and how this was edited [personal attack removed by Dweller]? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.40.58 (talk) 10:06, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can use the History button at the top of the page to step through every change made on the page, and see the state of the page after each change. SinisterLefty (talk) 10:30, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not for political agenda discussion or personal attacks. If you continue you risk being blocked. JIP | Talk 10:57, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has now deleted the offending revisions, so they won't be visible in the history any more. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:27, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To address the OP's question, that stuff was deleted because of being BLP violations [personal attack removed]. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 02:33, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
