Sockpuppet investigation
[edit]
An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/2A00:23C8:9285:3300:E9A9:A93B:30E7:63C4, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

- Just a follow-up note: I've closed the sockpuppetry case without action since this seems to have been a simple mistake (do remember to stay logged into your account in the future to avoid similar problems). You should keep in mind, though, that Wikipedia discourages excessive citations to one's own work and generally does not consider self-published works such as blogs to be reliable sources. In my opinion it would be better to find other sources to use if you're interested in improving these articles - see WP:Reliable sources for some guidance on the type of sources that are preferred.

Apologies
[edit]Sorry about opening up the sockpuppet investigation. That wasn't the right thing to do on my part. InvalidOStalk 14:41, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
