The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Alternate accounts

edit

I want to make sure you are aware of our sock puppet policy. Specifically the section titled "Inappropriate uses of alternative accounts" includes:

  • Editing project space: Undisclosed alternative accounts are not to be used in discussions internal to the project.[1]

If you want to participate in the discussion at ANI or other discussions in project space you need to use your regular account. Using an alternative account to participate in such discussions is not allowed and can result in this account getting blocked. HighInBC Need help? {{ping|HighInBC}} 15:54, 14 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Another acceptable solution would be for you to link this account with your primary one. HighInBC Need help? {{ping|HighInBC}} 15:57, 14 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm kind of with HighInBC on this one. While I don't see any particularly contentious edits you've made, participating on the drama boards with an undisclosed alternate account feels like WP:SCRUTINY to me. The ArbCom ruling seems to contradict this usage as well, so I would strongly recommend seeking approval from ArbCom before continuing to use this account. This can be done privately via email, and they will not disclose your primary account if they deem this account appropriate MusikAnimal talk 19:27, 3 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for because alternate accounts, per policy, are not allowed to edit project space without declaring your main account, and without good reason. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ​—DoRD (talk)​ 23:48, 4 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
