Paul, I understand, but I think this is dangerous (and, although it  
has some logic, few expect such response of the system: you change a  
word and then you appear as author...of a new resource). Perhaps it  
will be better that resources are attributed to the first person who  
submit it and, then, all changes are recorded as Comments or Additions.

Anyway, I doubt even implementing such procedure will affect this  
particular issue. I have changed already the rights holder, and made  
it non public non searchable (because I can not change the field:  
Created by...).  But I do not know how to delete it, there is no such  
item at

Thanks so much

Tomas
