Until the charge of sockpuppetry was made against account [[user:Daynal]], I was content to use but this name only, and then only to prevent others from using it as I have a responsibility to and for the public use of this name by virtue of serving as admin to most domains operating with this name.

My contributions prior to sustaining the sockpuppetry charge (read by bots as vandalism) stand on record for continued examination and revision. After consultation with CobaltBlueTony, the unblock procedure was implemented as per his instructions, but just before the sockpuppetry charge was brought, it appeared to him that "for some reason" the change was not processed as expected. Another editor, AndrewHowse, had suggested that I address the conflict of interest raised by the [[Timothy Wyllie]] article by editing the writing under his oversight. By this point, such required an alternate account [[user:Rldavisiv]] to do so without working anonymously. To avoid misunderstanding, these were linked as per suggestions of Wikipedia policy. This apparently triggered the accusation of sockpuppetry by [[user:Pastordavid]] (quickly sustained) bringing to an immediate halt the implementation of any suggestions of these two editors.

#The process of mentoring (working under supervision by another trusted Wikpedia editor) was initiated, even if informally, but stopped by the sockpuppetry case.

#The process of mentoring was previously initiated, even if informally, but stopped by the sockpuppetry case.
#The editor only desired one account from the beginning (linked directly to his personal contact page). Wikipedia, (no doubt unwittingly), has required more accounts than can be known to work toward resolution.
+
#This editor desired but one account linked directly to his personal contact page to demonstrate transparency. Wikipedia, unwittingly, has required many anonymous accounts to begin any discussion e.g. "exchange of ideas".  
#Editor only engaged in 'copying comments' to another place i.e. (personal talkpage) in attempt to 'centralize discussion' as per Wikipedia suggestions for addressing confusion due to fragmentation of dialogue.

#This editor 'copied comments' to the personal talkpage to "centralize discussion" as per Wikipedia policy addressing confusion of a fragmented dialogue.
#The focus 'on content' is a matter of perspective adequately addressed only in consultation with others. Without consultation, there can be no content.
+
#The two articles written by this editor show discussion pages where requests were made to Wikipedia editors for their comments on the 'content'. The reply to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Landon_Garland first] was an automated accusation of vandalism, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Timothy_Wyllie/Archive_1 second] elicited only the Sockpuppetry charge from Pastordavid.
#The user:Daynal had elected, in consultation with CobaltBlueTony, to retain his original username to accomplish the purpose of blocking it indefinitely.

#This editor had [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Wikipedia_Daynal_talkpage#Policy_Review elected], after consulting with CobaltBlueTony, to retain username [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Daynal Daynal] to block it indefinitely.
#The editor does agree to forego editing any articles again as all subjects of human inquiry are 'directly connected to his publishing company'.
+
#This editor will no longer edit any articles unless requested given that all subjects of human inquiry are 'directly connected to his publishing company'.
#Given the condition above, the person Rob Davis, regardless of username, will initiate no more articles on Wikipedia.

#Further, given Wikipedia's preponderant interest in copy editing relative to writing , [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Rob_Davis Rob Davis] will not initiate articles on Wikipedia.

It appears I have come to an understanding of how 'special contributions' can be appropriate to my interest in blocking indefinitely any use of Daynal on Wikipedia and avoiding any further edits related to any "subject connected with Daynal Institute Press" i.e. all subjects of human inquiry.

I will not initiate any articles on Wikipedia, and any future  'edits' will be done under my name [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Rob_Davis Rob Davis] using the 'special contributions allowance' and then only as a suggestion to an editor working on an article that comes to my attention as giving expression to a need for supporting citations or other such evidence. Otherwise, my support for Wikipedia and its 'sister' sites will be by direct contributions to [[MediaWiki]], its use and ongoing development.
