You have been accused of Sockpuppetry

edit

  You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rationalthinker1. Thank you. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 22:44, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I am sorry, you have been a victim of mistaken identity and I have removed your name from the list, your edits have been made in good faith. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 16:44, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

>> My response after reading "Notes for the Suspect":

Hello Pheonix B. I'm a 46yo forklift driver from Dandenong in Australia. I have studied Metaphysics as my personal hobby for 15 years from many sources. One of these sources is Alfred Webre. I don't know him (or other sources) personally & am on the other side of the world. You have accused me of, >>" You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. "

I can assure you that I come home from work, sit on a 1 Ghz PC, (with 1/2 a gig of Ram), and do my research. I certainly do not have "multiple" user accounts, and I was quite affronted and upset that you should accuse me of such considering Optus is my only provider & this is my only PC. (Not sure how you could have got any information to the contrary, as I don't really understand these things. ) Irregardless of any evidence to the contrary. I speak the truth & I deny your accusations. I learned about Alfred Webres deletion from a third party, so I'm not in "cahoots" with him. In fact, if I'd known I was entering such a fascist world, when I decided (on my OWN), to comment on this issue. I probably wouldn't have commented at all. (Just let the censors win.) Alfred Webres life can be confirmed by research, as can his many international speaking engagements, and volumes of original written material... It's true that I've only just got my Wikipedia account, (after having used Wikipedia for years), but it does say in the "Meatpuppetry" reference in Wikipedia that: "While Wikipedia assumes good faith, >especially for new users<, recruiting new editors to influence decisions on Wikipedia is prohibited. A new user who engages in the same behavior as another user in the same context, and who appears to be editing Wikipedia solely for that purpose, may be subject to the remedies applied to the user whose behavior they are joining. Sanctions have been applied to editors of longer standing who have not, in the opinion of Wikipedia's administrative bodies, consistently exercised independent judgement."

To this, my answer is simply that I DO NOT follow anyone. Let alone Alfred Webre, or any other Wikipedia user. (Of whom I know none.) That being said, I can say that I do not follow anyone elses comments on the matter of deleting Alfred Webre. My statements were my own, as they always will be, should I choose to edit any other article on Wikipedia.

(from: Defending yourself against claims) "If an accusation on this page is "bad faith" (an editor making a fake case for an "attack" or to prevent their own editing being examined) then you may wish to say so briefly," ↑↑↑↑↑ I DO NOT think you operate in "bad faith", I just think you have been over-zealous, with your blanket approach which includes me as a "socketpuppetry" person. I am not. Nor, have I heard the term before today.

It is my desire to resolve this accusation you have levelled against me, without drama, as I think you have made a genuine mistake in including me as part of any group, or idolitrator of anyone. I hope you can see my response as fair dinkum. (This means "No Lies" in Australia). Please remove me from your accusations.

My deepest appologies

Dear TrexSwampy,

You have are the victim of mistaken identity, you are not the first I have done this to, this was not intentional, what has happened here is we have many SPA accounts with similar things to say, yours happened to be tagged by another user as a potential spa do to your lack of edits in other topics, of course, the reason for this is you are new to the website and have not yet had the chance to generate a great deal of edits in such a short period of time. It is easy to confuse a new user with a SPA especially when the page has already been canvassed by a whole slew of SPAs, I saw the canvassing tag following immediatley after your name and added you to the list of suspects, the message I sent you was generic, I sent it to all the suspects. Not a single administrator has had time to even review the case yet, so when one does your name has been struk from the list and it is unlikely you should be bothered with it again, you may remove the false charges from the top of your talk page if you wish. Once again I am sorry and I look forward to editing along side you in the future. :) – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 17:01, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I am here to let you know that the SPI case has been dropped, and a checkuser has proven you have no relation to Rationalthinker1 or any of the other mentioned users, I jumped to the wrong conclusion and have caused you a great deal of trouble, nothing I say now can undo what has been done, just know I was wrong, and you are free to continue contributing to wikipedia, you have done nothing wrong, and you may remove the accusation notice and message from your talk page. I am sorry for whatever unnecessarily stress and upset I may have caused you, Sorry :( – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 01:40, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
