"If Wikipedia editor 'NSH001' is reading this Twitter account, he or she would do well to look at the edits by 'Philip Cross' and 'NomdeA' of the Wikipedia page 'Casanova'73', for still more evidence. Many thanks for your courage."
Response: I appreciate the thought, but no, an editor doesn't need "courage" to do what I've been doing. But he or she does need to follow the rules.
leftworks makes some additional suggestions for me:
As a general rule, I don't like being told what to do. Although I can see that leftworks is trying to be helpful, in fact he is making my job more difficult, creating an impression that I'm acting under his instructions. For this reason, I will be reluctant to do anything he asks, even when I want to do it myself.
I find it exasperating and frustrating when people who mostly have the right idea and right intention, and want to add correct and useful material to Wikipedia, find the need to indulge in deceit, deception and trickery – because that's what running sockpuppets is. You're attempting to deceive your fellow editors, and that's a big no-no on Wikipedia.
Lying and trickery is what I associate with rampant, unrestrained capitalism and warmongering.
If leftworks hadn't done this, he would have been able to contribute usefully to the
SPI investigation. It's called having truth and integrity, and for me it's
absolutely fundamental.
On Twitter
I have a twitter account, but I have no intention of ever tweeting anything from it, and it remains completely hidden from everybody except twitter. I dislike twitter, as it makes for superficial and acrimonious conversations; it seems to have been designed to make people angry; what you write on twitter is likely to be misinterpreted; and it can waste a huge amount of time. But it is useful for finding out what is going on, and what the so-called "mainstream" media is hiding from us. The only reason I opened an account was to be able to read the "Tweets & replies" section (previously you could read this without an account). My account doesn't "follow" anybody, partly because twitter has the power to "unfollow" users, without their permission, from people with the "wrong" political views. Instead I maintain private lists of twitter users, and, yes, leftworks is on one of those lists.
This message will be posted at the top of my user and user talk pages. Once I become aware that leftworks has read it, it will be removed, but it will remain archived at
User:NSH001/leftworks.
Request could someone who either knows leftworks personally, or has an active Twitter account please let leftworks know of this message. --
