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/PaulGorduiz106, 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.

Renaming accounts

edit

Hello,

I see that you tried to rename your previous account, User:PaulGorduiz106, to GreatPaul64. In doing this you moved your userpage and then created a new account. If you want to use this account from now on, you will need to ensure that the connection is disclosed and clear. This is because Wikipedia has a policy against using multiple accounts inappropriately. By clearly linking these accounts and only using one account to now edit, you will be fine. You can do this in a number of ways:

To summarise, it is important that you clearly link your previous account to this account (and vice versa) by explaining that you own both accounts. If you would like further explanation or help in doing this, please ask. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 13:40, 1 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
