|1=Off-wiki harassment falls within our jurisdiction. While I am sure the world of professional forensic analysis has varying degrees of sophistication, we do not adhere or require those same standards here on the English Wikipedia. Comparing behavioural evidence is a common practice on the English Wikipedia with respect to editors abusively using multiple accounts or reviewing evidence with respect to harassment. I am sure there are many advantages to a more comprehensive system that relies on professionals to handle harassment and conduct related issues affecting our community, but that same community has made it clear that local governance from within our volunteer community is an essential priority for the project. Wikipedia at its very core is volunteer built and we won't be departing from that culture anytime soon. (23:40 1 October)}}

:Two tipsters sent fairly complete and consistent descriptions of the alleged harassment to ''The Signpost'', but these descriptions could not be confirmed due to the closing of a specific social media account. When contacted by ''The Signpost'' Icewhiz stated "For the record - I do not confirm nor deny any degree of involvement with" the account.
