Reasons why I got a sock to begin with, and why I maybe should stay veiled: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?DissuadeReputation http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?RightToVanish At some point, I'll expose my sock and resume editing as Interiot. Here's the steps todo: - using [[User:Interiot]], update the homepage of my sock to redirect to [[User:Interiot]], with an edit summary of "Self-outing my sock. The name was chosen because [[ad hominem|a person's edits should stand apart from their name or reputation]]." Possible templates to use include: {{sockadmit}} {{User Alternate Acc}} - using my sock, update the same page immediately after (doing a pointless edit), and using the edit summary: "[[two-phase commit]]: acknowledged and agreed" - change my signature to "[[Special:Contributions/Interiot|Interiot]]", similar to my sock - empty my watchlist - archive my talk page, and note on top of the page my various policies: * I'm spending a lot less time on Wikipedia than I used to. * I don't use my watchlist, to [[WP:ADDICTED#Late stages|stave off addiction]], and becuse [[m:conflicting Wikipedia philosophies#Eventualism vs. immediatism|extreme eventualism]] works. ** I ''do'' revisit articles I've contributed to recently. But feel free to [[Template:Usertalkback|leave a {{talkback}}]] if I might miss your reply on your page. - create this as a user-space subpage, and post it on [[Talk:Globalization]] as a possible expansion of [[Globalization#History]] http://paperlined.org/academics/history/world_history/history_of_globalization.html
