Disclosure
Using this IP account to edit the article Wilmette, Illinois lessons the veracity of your disclosure at User:SecretName101. Buster Seven   Talk  17:13, 27 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Those edits were not completed by me. However, I believe they were completed by the individual at the Historical Society that requested I improve the articles on Wilmette. SecretName101 (talk) 02:45, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * They are not paid to edit Wikipedia, thus I believe they do not need any disclosure or account. They just happen to be someone with a vast reservoir of knowledge about Wilmette (and their editing would not be significantly different from a sports fanatic editing an team/athlete's article). If I am wrong about it, I could let them know to create an account and etc. SecretName101 (talk) 02:47, 28 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Looking at the IP's contributions history, I believe the first edit might have been me. I recall once accidentally editing my account's sandbox from a computer at the Historical Society without first logging into my account.SecretName101 (talk) 02:50, 28 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I apologize for any impression that I was making an attempt at sock puppetry by editing from an IP. As I explained, one edit from that IP was my own, and it was accidental. However, none of the other edits were my own, and instead were from other individual(s) with access to that IP. If there is anything problematic, I could inform co-workers that they should create accounts and disclose their affiliation with the historical society. Let me know if that is or is not a necessary action. SecretName101 (talk) 02:54, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
