WikiAnswers and HistoryYour contributions to WikiAnswers cannot be deleted from the contributions list or the "Question history" page. It is used to track the quality of edits a particular user has made, as well as track the changes made to a particular question.

You can delete the contents of your profile if you so desire. However, you can prevent your contributions from appearing on your user page by going to your profile, and clicking "Hide from other users." This is located at the bottom of the Last Contributions panel. If you want to show your contributions on your profile again, click on "Show to other users."

Regardless of this setting, the contributions will appear on the "Question history" page. Additionally, other people may still view your contributions on the Special:Contributions page by entering your User ID as the target. This feature is part of what makes a wiki into a wiki, as it allows anyone to track the changes made to a question, and revert vandalism done to a page.

In theory, particularly harmful edits, such as personal information (phone numbers, addresses, etc), can be removed by an administrator with database level access or some form of oversight privilege. If you have found such an edit, you may try emailing WikiAnswers @ Answers.com (remove spaces). Make sure you include the URL of the edit that needs to be censored. Mundane edits to pages are unlikely to be removed.

You can request that your username be changed to something that nobody will recognize. Then people won't be able to find your records. email WikiAnswers @ answers.com and explain why you want to change your name.
