Regarding Medium....what you have read are not Medium rules to be obeyed at all costs, rather they are Medium guidance to help you to write content which they believe has the greatest chance of success on the platform. For this reason I presume our pub owner, Dr Mehmet Yildiz, did not consult with Medium since I suspect Medium would have simply replied it's up to you guys. However, what I can do for you is copy and paste your original query to Dr Yildiz and see what he has to say about the matter. It may take a little time to get a response because as you can imagine he has an enormouse amount to get through on a daily basis. That being said, he usually gets back to me as an editor pretty promptly.
