Sockpuppet investigation

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/Elitepast, 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.

Use of multiple accounts

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm Sir Sputnik. I've that noticed that you've been using more than one account. Please be aware using more than one account can be quite problematic. Wikipedia editors are generally expected to edit using at most one account. Using a single account maintains editing continuity, improves accountability, and increases community trust, which helps to build long-term stability for the encyclopedia. While there are some valid reasons for maintaining multiple accounts on the project, using multiple accounts for deceptive or disruptive reasons is not allowed. Please familiarize yourself with relevant policy on the matter (you'll find it here), and limit yourself to one account for most purposes. If you intend to continue using multiple accounts for one the valid reasons, please clearly disclose the connection between your accounts and your reason for using more than one. Thank you.
