I've conducted a comparison of the record of SlimVirgin's first year editing as captured exactly one year ago, versus the same record captured today.

The more recent list is about 1,000 items shorter, due largely to article and user deletions, but also due to apparent use of the Oversight hammer.

I've made a list of those missing edits of indeterminate origin on the AntiSocialMedia.net wiki and am looking for any insights you might have as to why these particular edits might be gone.

NOTE: I do not yet have the substance of the edits...that'll come soon.

You can find the wiki here.

There's nothing in the GFDL that says Wikipedia MUST distribute all edits, only that if they do so the author must be credited and you will not be held responsible for the changes others make to your work.
