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/Drawingyourdreams, 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.

Sock puppetry seems to be the premise that one person is using multiple accounts.

This doesn't give much thought to the possibility that a few people who share a common interest have decided to work together on a Wikipedia page. The very idea of 1 person making an entire Wikipedia page is incredibly daunting and so when a group of friends on Discord pool their resources and knowledge to help create one, there doesn't seem to be any way of showing our verifying that it isn't one person on multiple accounts.

This seems like an issue with the system. I have not edited a Wiki page on years, but I still donate $4 every month to Wikmedia foundation. I assumed my contribution was to help keep an open platform not a Gatekept one. This is very disappointing. 2A00:23C6:1E8D:EE01:8AA:4B94:6117:A300 (talk) 00:05, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
