Yikes,<div><br></div><div>We can&#39;t delete accounts but local Oversighters (who can be elected by the community as it grows) and the Stewards (<a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards</a> who can do it globally as well when needed ) have ways to strike the username/userpage etc so that no one (other than other oversights/stewards and staff ) can see it. I&#39;m going to poke them now and have them take a look. </div>

<div><br></div><div>If you want to send me the list please feel free to and I&#39;ll pass it on but they may find everything once pointed in the right direction as well. </div><div><br></div><div>For people who see things like this happening (or find it later) you can contact stewards on IRC (freenode) in #Wikimedia-stewards almost 24/7 usually (obviously as volunteers it depends but someone is usually around and other active cross-wiki users hang there as well to help) as well as through the request boards on meta. </div>

Hi<div>I am 13 days late to this, but  my two attempts to forward this to the list 13 days back bounced (the first because I included an attachment and the second because I sent it from a different email) and then I was travelling and couldn&#39;t devote time to the list. </div>
