Cosy re-added (1) Dana's spam (2, 3) to Open banking. At present all 3 of Cosy's edits have inserted Centtrip into articles. Cabayi (talk) 12:10, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Dana's explanation, admission of WP:MEAT, & promises with regard to future conduct appear to be the model answer that the community hopes for. However, it leaves unanswered the question of whose sock Cosy might be - as Cosy "had more Wikipedia experience". Cabayi (talk) 13:08, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

The page User:Cosykenzo was not created by myself but by a friend who does not have the same conflict of interest as I. I reached out to them as they have had more Wikipedia experience and asked what I can do in regards to the claims being made against myself by Melcous as well as others, as I realised I had done something wrong and wanted to do my best to revert the damage. Instead of providing advice, User:Cosykenzo created an account and began reverting my edits. This is not what I had requested and I am now disheartened to see what was initially a decision to fix the situation to actually make it worse. I asked User:Cosykenzo to delete the account but have since learnt this is not possible.

I have no intention to break guidelines or hurt others and rather my previous mistakes have been a misunderstanding in which I am embarrassed. Moving forward, I am currently proposing edits on Talk pages rather than editing myself as per User:Melcous explained to me on my talk page. Any further discussion would be much appreciated.

Sorry team: I can adhere to all of the above. I thought User:Danainlondon wanted me to help her revert the edits since she sent them over to me saying what she had put in but instead she wanted me to review them. I'm really sorry if I upset anyone. I used to edit Wikipedia when I was younger but that was a fair while ago so I've forgotten the username and password which is why I made a new one. I had no idea about sockpuppeting and have passed on my apologies to User:Danainlondon. I can help her write her contributions for the talk pages and leave them open for discussion in regards to her conflict of interest but I think you've provided some good links.

 * A reasonable explanation has been given (acquaintances). I strongly recommend that both editors do not edit where they have a conflict of interest, though. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:42, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
