I will not post actual evidence to this mailing list.
My notes as of
Sunday are already sent to functionaries and I'm sure they will act on it
themselves. As I collect more evidence, I might open a sockpuppet
investigation on English Wikipedia anyway if there is enough of it to
continue even without personal data, which is just a small part.

Without getting into whether an outing policy
exists/applies here, please
bear in mind that if redaction is required, it is rather difficult to do
it
on a mailing list, especially a mailman mailing list like this one.
i.e. Please avoid posting something here which may need redaction.

Hi Mario,
I don't think it will be considered harassment if the information is
posted
here. I believe the WP:OUTING applies to the
English Wikipedia and this
is
not English Wikipedia mailing list.

There, is at least, one user that works for Go Fish Digital with a
sockpuppet account in English Wikipedia and has denied conflict of

or paid editing disclosure even if he was asked
too, since some user was
suspicious. Should I send this privately? I don't want to incur in
spurious
ousting/doxxing.
Best,

Wikimedia Foundation Inc. has been working with this company on search
engine optimization: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T198970>. I
have a
few questions about this work.
How was this vendor chosen? Which other vendors were considered?
Why is this work being undertaken? At least the English Wikipedia has
some
of the best search engine results placement of
any site on the Web, so
I'm

and for
what reason.

Is it appropriate to give a company that sells whitewashing Wikipedia
services access to private user data, as was done in
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T192893> and
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193052>? The Wikimedia Foundation
Inc.
