Talk:Sock puppetry

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Examples of sockpuppetry are:

●くろまる Logging out of an account and editing as an IP address

●くろまる Evading blocks or bans on an account that was blocked or banned

●くろまる When a user revives an old, unused account, claiming it to be new

●くろまる Using an account created by someone else (which is called "piggybacking")

●くろまる Persuading friends or other people to create accounts for other reasons or for one side of dispute (which is called "meatpuppetry")

I don't get why my edits were reverted. I won't take it as "disruptive editing" or "vandalism"

These examples are not needed, and on their own they are not all sockpuppetry as the context is important, so the examples don't add value. Bringing over how enWP manages their sockpuppets for their needs is not universal. Keep it simple, we talk about it at a contextual level and why it is problematic.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:08, 29 April 2021 (UTC) Reply
