Reasons why I got a sock to begin with, and why I maybe should stay veiled:

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 <nowiki>{{talkback}}</nowiki>]] 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]]
