Clear my Name?[edit]

I've just stumbled upon the fact that my name is listed in the section Original Editors & ISPs on or relating to Midday express. I'm real & this is my only Wikipedia account. Is there something I should be doing to clear my name? Pathawi (talk) 18:32, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also listed, and I was involved in reporting Middayexpress. I think TomStar81 was just collecting a list of anyone connected with the case in any way, so I wouldn't worry unnecessarily, Pathawi. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:10, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Thanks. I had a difficult interaction regarding Cushitic languages with the User:Soupforone puppet account. Pathawi (talk) 16:17, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pathawi: Cordless Larry is correct, this is meant to be a list of whose had interaction with the sock. In fact, if you want reassurances that you're not in trouble, click the edit tab in the section, then erase the nowiki tab, and hit preview. You'll notice that my name appears about halfway down the list, and I know I'm no sock. The dragnet caught a lot of people, including me, but it pays to be prepared here, so thats why you, I, and Larry are all listed :) TomStar81 (Talk) 18:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
