Sockpuppetry in Talk:Wikitruth

Snottythetroll (talk · contribs) added something to Talk:Wikitruth. After it was discovered that Snotty was a sockpuppet of {{user|Zenasprime||, administrator Jpgordon (talk · contribs) reverted Snotty's edits. Then you restored one of them. I can't say whether this was right or wrong; I'm just letting you know what happened. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 19:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring a blocked editor's edits could be considered Meat puppetry. If the content is something you are willing to take responsibility for, you can bring it back as your own. The edit in question was in Talk, so you could bring it back, if you think it worthwhile, but either ask the same questions or make the same comments, yourself, and sign it, or note that you are bringing it back because you think the questions worth addressing, yourself, and sign your note. What you did was to bring it back without signing it. So, essentially, you made a contribution on behalf of a blocked editor. That can get you blocked! (I'm making no value judgment on the edit itself, just noting the principle.) --Abd (talk) 01:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And, of course, it is now claimed that you are the same user.... which even if you are not, you more or less invited.--Abd (talk) 01:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
