This is me formally apologizing for the spout we had from before. During the making of the Death of Freddie Gray article, I encountered several socks who I thought were regular users I could trust. It really discouraged me with new users who suddenly showed up to the project. While I still don't 100% trust you, especially since you changed accounts and have another you wouldn't identify from an additional swap, I want to express my apologies. I'll still be observing your edits, but so far you seem to show you are a wikipedian with some worth.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:16, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I really did lose my password. It may be on a computer that is very far away, but I'm not going to make the trip, especially as the new name has some humour value. I'm curious about how you found the new account, as I've hardly used it, and the linking goes the other direction. Incidentally, new users are showing up on WP all the time; you might as well get used to it. MissPiggysEx (talk) 05:24, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You edited Death of Freddie Gray, which I patrol for the constant vandalism it receives and I noticed the connection between the names. While you are correct in noting that new users are coming in all the time, the fact is a majority of them are trolls, vandals, and sockpuppets. Why just today a fellow admin I've worked with blocked eight new accounts in the last two hours for sock puppetry. But since you haven't done anything, at least obviously, that shows disruption, I see I'll need to lay off. If you need anything just ask, but I doubt we will cross paths unless you have interest in music articles.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:43, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
