Hi, Just want to query this... I also believed this, until I saw a recent story where a writer had been told this is wrong - by Medium themselves. I clicked through to the link you supplied and cannot see that statement on the link. See this story: https://medium.com/feedium/yes-its-ok-to-republish-old-stories-on-medium-to-get-a-newer-publishing-date-87d3b6926182
