Why do you think the paper is puffery?

Please give me more explanation why you think the paper is puffery. These papers went through strict peer review in well established conferences in data mining and social media studies. The one is accepted to conferences called ICWSM and another is accepted to SDM. This is the very first work that provide insights to the platform operation with relation to Twitter.

The statement "Bluesky is widely regarded as one of the most promising alternatives in the competitive social media landscape" seems to meet the definition at MOS:PUFFERY, and I can't find this claim in the paper. To be clear, I'm not calling the paper puffery - just this claim. Also, this isn't relevant to the puffery designation, but based on your username, I'm guessing you're author 1 on the paper - is that the case? If so, please make sure you're familiar with WP:REFSPAM. DefaultFree (talk) 00:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I was actually not familiar with REFSPAM because I just started Wikipedia and trying to understand how it works by editing some stuff that I am knowledgeable about. I also agree that statement was a bit off... In the paper, it claims that migrated users from Twitter to Bluesky tend to use it as a complementary platform, and, therefore, there is still growing pattern of using Bluesky while other platforms fail in retaining the migrated users who they once attracted in the begining. Please understand that I wanted to try some edits by making some slight changes but will put more effort to avoid any confusion. Thanks Ujeong1 (talk) 00:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

LLM tags

Technically, all humans are also LLMs. Please don't go slapping AI-tags on the edits of long-term editors. That's curated summary of the more important books from List of Discordian works. The references are perfectly fine, being transferred from that article after I wrote the summary. You wanna discuss how I write with me, use my talk page. Skyerise (talk) 11:46, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

To the future ANI or similar reviewer reviewing this, please do take note of the specific edits being referenced here: [1] [2] [3] [4] DefaultFree (talk) 11:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I see how you are. Lol! Skyerise (talk) 12:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Previous user names

I'd like to request disclosure of your previous usernames, since you seem to know quite a bit more about Wikipedia culture than most editors with barely over 1,000 edits. Skyerise (talk) 12:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

I have one pervious account that I abandoned under WP:CLEANSTART, because it was unavoidably tied to my real-life identity. It had under 100 edits, and a period of several years elapsed between its final edit and this account's first one, during which time I did not edit Wikipedia. I will not disclose its username publicly, but will provide it to ArbCom confidentially if requested by them to do so. Being familiar with Wikipedia is not suspicious. Have fun with your witch hunt. DefaultFree (talk) 12:27, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

No, no, that's a fine answer. (On Wikipedia, that would be a sock-hunt, though.) Skyerise (talk) 12:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 03:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Warning

The days of diff followed 40 minutes later by diff are over. As discussed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:DefaultFree engaging in stalking behavior (permalink), edits focused on what might appear to be stalking will result in a block. There is no interaction ban but the percentage of your edits interacting with that user must be very low. Johnuniq (talk) 00:14, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Understood. My intent was to improve an article that I've been working on since 2021, before I had any interaction with that user at all, and I interpreted your message on ANI as a "decline to investigate this ANI and please don't interact on unrelated articles" rather than "please limit interactions overall". The behavior I was originally concerned about has been seen by an administrator at this point, so I have no desire to push the issue further, and out of an abundance of caution wrt this warning, am unwatching the pages in question and will not be attempting to improve them further.
