could you confirm to me the article or posting this user emailed you about? I see they did from this another account as well and I’m trying to track down what exactly is happening. Feel free to email me or reply here and ping me. Just a link to the “diff” or article is fine. Thanks. N.J.A.  &#124; talk  02:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)


 * The article is in The Signpost From the editors. I particular the paragraph:

"To mark the fifth anniversary of the terms of use change that banned undeclared paid editing, the next issue of The Signpost will focus on how paid editing affects our encyclopedia. We want to hear from editors, administrators, arbitrators, bureaucrats, WMF employees and board members. We want to hear from all sides of the issue, including those who oppose paid editing, those who support it, and paid editors – both declared and undeclared. And most of all we want to hear from ordinary Wikipedia editors."


 * If he is who he says he is, I definitely want to publish it in The Signpost. When I say "all sides" I mean all sides. To be fair to DCS, I should note that there may be some editing for length (if he gets carried away) and I'm responsible for making sure that Wikipedia's rules are followed, e.g. no personal attacks, BLP, no outing, etc., but I'd like to publish it as submitted.
 * NJA, one rule, now that you've blocked him, that I hope you don't get carried away with is removing the edits of blocked editors. The Signpost is something special here IMHO - all voices should be heard (at least on this very special issue of paid editing) WP:IAR applies and I'll be taking the responsibility of publishing this on myself - i.e. you may end up banning me on this rather than DCS.


 * BTW, I have no problem with you blocking or banning DCS - that's your call. My call is only for editing The Signpost.  Thanks for your understanding. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 02:53, 5 June 2019 (UTC)


 * OK, thank you. The block is for the reasons in the block log and it has nothing to do with the submission to the signpost, but mainly clear abuse of multiple accounts. Nothing is being removed aside from his user page that trolled me. There was no other content. Nothing else has been deleted or revdel’ed from this account and this other new account. Though bear in mind that these were new accounts, both with few edits (mostly trolling) and they are extremely unlikely to be the user's real or original account. The account owner of "Developers Cookie statement” and "Not a fake or maybe" is told to seek any unblock from that original account. Indeed if they wish to write in to the signpost they should do so from that original account as well vs. any socks. N.J.A.  &#124; talk  11:13, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * just email to the account where you've been sending stuff. Note that I can't verify your real world identity and I'm not a checkuser, so I can't verify your account(s) here, via email and I will just put "Anon" as the byline. Everything else in our (hopefully minimal) recent dealings will have to be completely transparent, hence my note here.


 * Just send a complete op-ed piece (500-1000 words), or a couple of paragraphs, or even just a one sentence quote (which I'd include with other similar contributions). I don't want any drawn out conversations, questions, etc. (there's a lot more to write this month). Smallbones( smalltalk ) 17:03, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
